I have the same problem in Kubuntu 11.10 64bit

[mu3en (mu3en)]

confirmed in fresh oneiric 64 and 32 bit installs.

[kajhaul (kaj-haulrich)]

Same problem : Segmentation fault (core dumped) on Kubuntu 11.10 beta AMD64.

[KSSG (kssg)]

I also get a crash. Tried to build it from source, and this is what happened. Oneiric 32-bit, all packages up-to-date to this day.

This bug report from Redhat seems to have more about it. I tried this solution in the source and works.

For a quick fix: I have downloaded the Fedora RPM from here:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/16/i386/os/Packages/krename-4.0.7-2.fc16.i686.rpm
and converted it to DEB with alien. Seems to work fine. Please find it attached in case you want it.

[Mannex (russ-mannex)]

Thanks so much, Vlad. That works great!

[Fathi Boudra (fboudra)]

fixed package uploaded to revu:

[Ales (w-ales)]

To Vlad Lungeanu: yes it works. Thanks!

I just downgraded to natty's version.

[Kyle Sager (kylesager1)]

Hi, Does anyone know if there is an easy way to use apt-get to downgrade Krename? I had the same crash as in this bug report. I removed the package that crashes but I can not seem to locate a good name to get an older version with apt-get.

[Sam Rog (samrog131)]

Q: Hi, Does anyone know if there is an easy way to use apt-get to downgrade Krename?

A:
1. Remove the current package
2. Download an older package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=krename&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
3. Install an oder package (QApt).
4. Pin/ lock the package version: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3117254.0

I'm using a patched version (fix_crash_on_static_initialization.diff). It seems to work. It is available from the PPA: https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ppa

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

Also affects Precise 12.04

[Anders Martinsson (jandersmartinsson)]

Segfault on startup krename 4.0.7-1 downloaded from Software center today. Ubuntu 11.10

[Dan (daniel-armbrust-list)]

When will this get pushed out as an update? The existing version is useless, and the fix is known. Change 1 line of code.

[Dan (daniel-armbrust-list)]

I got in touch with the author of KRename yesterday, and he fixed this specific bug, along with a bunch of other potential re-occurrences of this bug in KRename release 4.0.8 (which was just released this morning)

http://www.krename.net/Stable.6.0.html

The hack fixes recommended here can be skipped entirely, if someone can package up 4.0.8 properly for ubuntu.

[Fathi Boudra (fboudra)]

Fixed in 4.0.9-1 upload.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

[Murz (murznn)]

krename - 4.0.9-1 available only for precise, can we backport it to oneric?

[mgmkom (mgmkom)]

4.0.9-1 does not satisfy dependencies oneric.
My solution to the problem:
1. download http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/16/Everything/i386/os/Packages/krename-4.0.7-2.fc16.i686.rpm
2. sudo alien --scripts krename-4.0.7-2.fc16.i686.rpm

The download.fedora.redhat.com link is dead (at least right now).
Here is the main page from rpm.pbone.net to get links to mirrors:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/17647451/dir/fedora_16/com/krename-4.0.9-1.fc16.i686.rpm.html

1- download
2- alien: converts the rpm to deb: sudo alien --scripts krename-4.0.9-1.fc16.i686.rpm
3- install the deb: sudo dpkg -i krename_4.0.9-2_i386.deb

Thanks for the tip Vlad

[Pastor (sinel1980)]

I don't know whye there are still (so long) no official update for oneiric. If you want working version now you can just use this unofficial DEB: https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ppa/+files/krename_4.0.9%7Eoneiric%7Eppa1_i386.deb (for other architectures check https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ppa/+packages

[David Pérez (sanete)]

Thanks Pastor, it works ok. :-)

[Cedric (cedriczg)]

Thanks Pastor. Worked for me as well (ubuntu Oneiric 64-bit)
Which step is missing to promote the working deb under to the normal repository for ubuntu Oneiric?

[Fathi Boudra (fboudra)]

Backport to Oneiric requested:

Package uploaded to oneiric-proposed, in queue for a SRU.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Hello Paul, or anyone else affected,

Accepted krename into oneiric-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Roland Meier (rm369)]

TEST CASE:
1. install krename 4.0.7-1ubuntu1 from oneiric -proposed
2. start krename
3. verify that it starts without SEGV

VERIFICATION DONE:
- krename starts cleanly

[SomeOne (andreas-helmcke)]

confirming that krename 4.0.7-1ubuntu1 is starting without error.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

As the originator of this bug report I can say that I have removed 4.0.7-2 installed as per comment #24 and installed 4.0.7-1ubuntu1. krename now starts, thank you.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]
