[need 2.2.3] amule crashes when I close a tab (possible GTK+ bug)

[Kurt Kraut]

Search results are separated by tabs in amule. When I try to close one of these tabs, amule crashes.

[Kurt Kraut (kurtkraut)]

Here is a big log about this crash.

[Inaldo (inaldo)]

Crashes with me in the same situation.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Confirmed on Edgy
Architecture: i386
Version: 2.1.2-3

I'll test if version on Debian unstable does the same.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Well same bug is present on 2.1.3-1 too.. Is the crasher actually coming from wxWidgets library?

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Backtrace after libwxgtk2.6-dbg package is installed.

[Rocco Stanzione (trappist)]

Upstream bug report: http://www.amule.org/abugs/view.php?id=956

[Mark Florian (markrian)]

I've encountered this too. The priority should be set to match a crasher bug, shouldn't it?

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Same error with amule 2.1.3-1
amule gives a backtrace

[Adam McMaster (adammc)]

Happens here too.

[Dan Bishop (danbishop)]

Same here. Crashes when closing a search results tab if another tab is still searching.

[origin of (origin-of)]

same here...

[tasadar_f (tasadarf)]

I have the same error

[yostral (y-o)]

Same bug here...

[Artemis3 (artemis3)]

Same. Also try opening chat tabs and then close them all.

[writser (writser-gmail)]

Confirmed here too.

[Andreas Simon (andreas-w-simon)]

Here is a quick way to reproduce this:
1) start amule
2) search for something, e.g. "Ubuntu"
3) Immediately close the tab with the search results
=> Crash.

[JoseStefan (josestefan)]

the problem can also be reproduced by pressing the "Clear" button. Which essentially closes any open tabs, thus triggering the bug.

Example:
1) start amule
2) search for something, e.g. "Ubuntu"
3) Press the "Clear" button.
=> Crash.

It doesn't seem to matter if the search is in progress or done.

[dresnu (dresnu)]

It happens to me too running aMule 2.1.3 on Edgy.

Actually the problem is presented when you close the last open tab in the search results, which is also triggered when pressing the clear button.

[JoseStefan (josestefan)]

I have installed aMule (dapper) in edgy for testing. aMule (dapper) did not crash in dapper, so I though it was worth testing.

As a result, aMule (dapper) will crash in edgy in just the same way. I don't know how to provide in-depth crash analysis so that is all I can offer for now. But this could mean the bug lies on another package (like wxwidgets2.6)

To install it:
1) remove all the installed amule packages.
2) add this to your sources.list:
deb http://.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe
3) then:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install amule/dapper amule-common/dapper

Remember to undo everything after you finish and update repos again, you don't want to keep dapper there.

[boong (boong)]

This is actually a wxGTK & GTK+ problem and not an aMule bug.

[ville palo (vi64pa)]

Forwarded to upstream (wxwidgets)

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

the problem is in the wxwidgets and it's solved in new version 2.7.2 and 2.8 according to the last post from amule developer in this bug
http://www.amule.org/abugs/view.php?id=996

> Solved on wx 2.7.2 and 2.8.0

seems so stupid that there is no porting for 2.6 series :(

[Wladston Viana (wladston)]

I confirm this bug on edgy.

Really anoying :(

[Montblanc (montblanc)]

It also happens when closing the last message tab... so it happens with every kind of tab, but it HAS to be the last one.
I always keep at least one tab open (the first one)! ;)

TK

[damvcoool (damvcoool)]

OK, My aMule crashed when i close i tab, that was not difficult to identify, but the apport did not detect the crash. i try doing /usr/share/apport/apport-checkreports
/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk as a normal user and with sudo, but it din't promont me to send anything. so I open amule from a terminal and i recreate the situation. this is part of the output.

[dresnu (dresnu)]

I've noticed that amule crashes when closing message tabs too. I suppose when you close the last one just like the search tabs but I'm not sure because I discovered this by closing just one message.

[Carlos Franco (carlosfrancoba)]

There is an important bug in amule. Should you set the maximum impotance to fix this bug? 'Cause the fix releasing is taking a long time and we are losting our position in queues of emule system.

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

The bug is NOT in amule BUT in the wxwidgets, I have just said and documented it.
Now there are 2.8.0 final, should backported to Edgy or just the patch that fix this problem.

They are the only two solutions possible here.
Hope to see one in action :)

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

This seems to fix the issue for me. Tested on Feisty wxwidgets2.6_2.6.3.2.1.5build2 with attached patch. Very simple and trivial patch, should be easy to backport for other distros if necessary.

patch taken from wxwidgets cvs
http://cvs.wxwidgets.org/viewcvs.cgi/wxWidgets/src/gtk/notebook.cpp.diff?only_with_tag=WX_2_6_BRANCH&r1=1.120.2.2&r2=1.120.2.3&diff_format=u
http://cvs.wxwidgets.org/viewcvs.cgi/wxWidgets/src/gtk/notebook.cpp?only_with_tag=WX_2_6_BRANCH

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Possibly working debdiff to fix the issue

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Trying again..

[tasadar_f (tasadarf)]

Someone can upload deb package with the patch for testing???

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

full wxwidgets2.6 (+ source package) is too big for me to upload (50MB), so I'll only upload the two binaries that seem to be requirement for amule.

Binaries are compiled on Feisty, i386 arch.

[tasadar_f (tasadarf)]

Thanks. I test in edgy

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

The two packages has a lot dependencies problems with Edgy...

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Don't install those on Edgy, binaries are Feisty only.

[tasadar_f (tasadarf)]

I'm going to build a edgy package from source+patch

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

thanx tasadar_f :)

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

any news?
Is it possible that for ONE line patch took THREE months to be committed in a bug so boring and important?

I think time isn't the problem...

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

MOTU has only known about this for 2 days. expecting 1 bug out of about 4000 to be found when it's not tagged as having a fix, or *anything* like that, is ridiculous. Same for 59 people to look at all 4000 jobs, when none of us are employed to work on ubuntu.

For future reference, if it's in the development version, subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors so it gets uploaded quickly.

As edgy is released, it will need to follow this procedure:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

the packages in tasadar_f links solve the problem.

Amule works great now.

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

guys, it would help way more if you could test the packages in -proposed rather than tasadar_f's packages. This way we can decide if they go to -updates or not

[tasadar_f (tasadarf)]

Sorry. I can't see this:

((( you will need to add manually the edgy-proposed repository to /etc/apt/sources.list, install the update, and report whether the new packages fix the crash.)))

I test this packages

[Mark Florian (markrian)]

As far as I can tell, the updated packages haven't hit -proposed yet, unless I'm missing something. I have the -proposed branch in my sources.list, and I've also searched in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-proposed/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz but not found anything relating to 'wx'.

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

> guys, it would help way more if you could test the packages in -proposed rather than tasadar_f's packages. This way we can decide if they go to -updates or not

the problem is that there are NO wxwidgets packages that reached edgy-proposed yet, so there is nothing to test over there!

It's months that I'm pushing for it, but nothing happens!

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Already fixed in Feisty.

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

Daniel for Feisty there is another bug, so you don't say fix released here that is related to Edgy without uploading the packages to edgy-proposed.

I think guys you are being crazy! All this time to have a fix in Edgy for one line patch and now this, very disappointing :-/

[tasadar_f (tasadarf)]

> guys, it would help way more if you could test the packages in -proposed rather than tasadar_f's packages. This way we can decide if they go to -updates or not

I can't find the edgy-propose packages I saw 5 ubuntu mirrors.

My packages (gatoloko) are feisty packages ported to edgy.

I will wait oficial packages for download of edgy-proposed. Now I use my packages(gatoloko)
I tested feisty source code in edgy and work perfectly.

 upload oficial packages to edgy-proposed please

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Cimmo, read my change carefully. The status update and comment are related to wxwidgets2.6 in _Feisty_.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Can someone check why packages haven't reached edgy-proposed yet, there's been no announce on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edgy-changes/.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Hi,

the package for edgy-proposed still awaits approval from ubuntu-archive. I'm sorry for the long delay it takes atm until a package reaches edgy-proposed. We are working on this and will hopefully get the SRU process in a better shape soon.

Cheers,
    Stefan.

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

Daniel:
for feisty there was another bug opened and just closed
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.6/+bug/76032

so I don't know why here we are talking about this, all report here is related to Edgy, so I don't know why you are talking about Feisty.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Cimmo, before I added the Edgy task, the wxwidgets2.6 bug defaulted to Feisty. Thus I rejected the Feisty task and added an Edgy one. Clear now?

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

Daniel:
to be clear BEFORE you have closed the bug and AFTER 1h15m you have opened the one for Edgy, to not confuse people please next time do the viceversa or people think that you are rejecting the SRU that was the title of bug.

Of course this is my opinion.

[Tollef Fog Heen (tfheen)]

Accepted into edgy-proposed; please test as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU

[com4 (com4)]

works for me

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

2.6.3.2.1.5ubuntu0.1~proposed1 upload fixes the problem for me on Edgy.

[tasadar_f (tasadarf)]

Works for me. VLC use wxGTK and work perfectly (not regressions)

[jmunin (jmunin)]

works for me too, in aMule 2.1.3.
Thanks

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

I have tried the updated packages on a fresh installation of Edgy but the problem persists.

Here is the backtrace.

P.S. I'm using this version of the libraries:
~$ sudo aptitude show libwxbase2.6-0Package: libwxbase2.6-0
State: installed
Automatically installed: yes
Version: 2.6.3.2.1.5ubuntu0.1

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Alberto, I cannot reproduce this (however in an edgy chroot, adm64). Are you also using 2.6.3.2.1.5ubuntu0.1 of libwxgtk2.6-0?

If so, what did you do to make amule crash?

anyone else still experiencing problems?

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Stefan, all I have to do to reproduce the error is to start a new search and then close a tab. Then amule exits.

here's the version I'm using:

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

hm... I still couldn't reproduce it in an i386 chroot. To be sure to have a chance to spot it in a chroot at all, I've also tried without the wxwidgets update, which crashed immediately.

Since you've written, that you're using a fresh installation of edgy, are you reusing your home-directory (or the .aMule dir there to be more specific)? If so, could you try to move this away and retry?

Other than that I'm pretty clueless right now :/

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Stefan, I moved my .aMule dir and now I can't reproduce the error any more.

I didn't know that I had to use a new .aMule dir.

Thanks

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

I didn't know this as well, but I wanted to make sure if it's a wxwidgets bug that we didn't fix. Maybe there is still a bug in amule somewhere that you stumbled upon, but that would be a different issue.
Thanks for trying.

[paranaense (tuliouel)]

I reported this bug to aMule team. Is this acctually somthing for launchpad or for aMule developpers? Below is the URL of the crash I reported with 3 records generated by gdb.
http://www.amule.org/abugs/view.php?id=1106
You shoud check, since the reports were generated folowing the wiki instructions about tracing cashes. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace)

[Götz Christ (g-christ)]

I have had the same problem on Gutsy, but since I use this repo <<deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing amule>> I didn't have the problem any more.

[alessio rocchi (nihil-00)]

seems absurd to me that this bug is floating around from 2 years now.
it's gross.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

alessio, the bug is supposed to be fixed. Have you installed the current edgy-updates version of all packages?

[mathieu (ververlenculeur)]

the bug is also in the version 2.2.2 and I'm on Intrepid.

[persi (xander-stepanov)]

Another one for 2.2.2/Intrepid

[Emilio Gallego (egallego-babel)]

I happen to get this bug
I'm puzzled as to why people seem to think this bug is fixed with the previous patch.

It seems the issue is the button_release event (of the last tab closing) is called with no cur_tab, and then GTK+ crashes.

See http://www.amule.org/amule/index.php?topic=16254.0 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477454

Please people with launchpad-foo reassign this to gtk+

[Emilio Gallego (egallego-babel)]

Three people have it in Intrepid/Amule 2.2.2

[Oibaf (oibaf)]

This should be fixed in amule 2.2.3 (not yet in Ubuntu):
http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Changelog_2.2.3

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

This was fixed long time ago. If the bug has reappeared, you should open a new report as it may well be a different issue with the same symptoms.

As for aMule 2.2.3, I've requested a sync in bug 313492.
