Faxsend crashes while trying to play file

[CountZero]

Hello!
I tried to play rmd file into line through modem (I used various modems: Zyxel Omni 56K and Acorp Sprinter 56K), but program faxsend from package hylafax seems to be crashed when trying to do it. Version from Ubuntu packages (Lucid Lynx and Maverick) does not give any error message, but version from sources from hylafax.org (6.0.4) gives message "FaxSend[10970]: Assertion failed "Invalid Str[] index", file ".././libhylafax/Str.h" line 106.". It is not a problem of audio format or modem, because version Hylafax 5.2.7 from AltLinux plays it OK.

Hi,
could you please better explain how you play such file? What command options are you giving?

1) I installed hylafax-client and hylafax-server.
2) Fixed problem with Fontmap (Bug #372605, path /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts is still not added into default /etc/hylafax/hyla.conf from package, though this bug is marked as "Fix Commited")
3) I ran faxsetup and faxaddmodem (my config is in attach). My modem dial string is following:
ModemDialCmd: "ATS7=50\nAT+FCLASS=8&H3\nAT+VRN=0;+VTD=10\nAT+VGT=130\nAT+FLO=1\nAT+VSM=4,9600\nATDT%s\n<waitfor:VCON>AT+VTX\n<waitfor:CONNECT><play:1>AT&H4+FCLASS=1\nATX3D"

Instead of <play:1> I also tried <play:play1.raw>, <play:/var/spool/hylafax/etc/play1.raw>

In order to collect more information, could you change ServerTracing and SessionTracing to 8FFFF, restart hylafax, produce the error, and then send the relevant log from /var/log/messages ?
Thanks

I'm using the following command to try to send fax:
/usr/bin/sendfax -t 1 -T 1 -R -n -I 120 -h localhost -d 989628621247 1.txt

[CountZero (countzero1981)]

My /var/log/messages is empty, seems that my Kubuntu puts all debugging information into other log files. I attached them all.

[Giuseppe Sacco (eppesuig)]

Do you have the same result using hylafax 6.0.4-10ubuntu1 from maverick?

[CountZero (countzero1981)]

I tried update to the new version of hylafax-client from maverick and get an error:
Installing new version of file /etc/hylafax/typerules ...
cp: «/etc/hylafax/pagesizes» and «/var/spool/hylafax/etc/pagesizes» is the same file
dpkg: failed to process hylafax-client (--install)

I made "aptitude purge" and installed new version. I still getting the same error when trying to play audio file...

[Giuseppe Sacco (eppesuig)]

Right, the upgrade error is known and it is the reason to upgrade to 6.0.4-10.
I will open a bug report against hylafax and set this as forwarded there. Let see what upstream say about this problem.

Thanks,
Giuseppe

Do you have a session log?
   /var/spool/hylafax/log/c000000009

Let's hope SessionTracing is set to something high for that.

[Aidan Van Dyk (aidan)]

Nevermind, I found c000000001

From upstream developers:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been able to replicate this problem and we found the cause of it. We are
working on a proper fix.

In the mean time, a work around for this bug is to duplicate the ModemDialCmd
line in the config file. (both uncommented and having the same value)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CountZero, could you please check if the proposed workaround works on your system?

Thanks,
Giuseppe

[CountZero (countzero1981)]

Yes, it works fine now

[CountZero (countzero1981)]

Thank you!
