Skype distro package segmentation fault (official package works)

[Marco Minetti]

Binary package hint: skype

My machine is amd64 with mainline kernel 2.6.38.2 and I've upgraded to
package version 2.2.0.25-1maverick1. Now skype doesn't start anymore
(segmentation fault). If I force install of official skype .deb for
Ubuntu 10.04+ 64bit everything works fine.

Below there is the strace output, is this mail sufficient of should I
file a bug? (I don't know how, it's an unsupported package for ubuntu-
bug)...

Thanks,

Have a nice day,

Marco

[Marco Minetti (marcominetti)]

Brian Thomason suggested me to investigate with gdb... but I never used it... :S

[Marco Minetti (marcominetti)]

news... deleting the .Skype folder in user home directory, seems to fix the problem....

[Marco Minetti (marcominetti)]

I confirm, I had same problem with official .deb package too. I had to remove old .Skype settings folder.

Now no more faults (three days full use) by:
- removing .Skype forlder in user home
- reinstalling skype with "apt-get install --reinstall skype" (or maybe with the official deb)

[Bremm (bremm)]

$ mv .Skype .Skype.old

It didn't the trick.

$ apt-get install --reinstall skype

Reinstalling it scored the job. By the way, I already had the "official" Ubuntu repo version (Xubuntu 11.04 here).

[Bremm (bremm)]

ERRATA:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall skype

[Bremm (bremm)]

By the way, this problem may be caused by prelink (daemon), since I have to reinstall it every day.

[[e-mail] (comio)]

I agree with Bremm. I think that is a prelink problem.

best regards,

luigi

[ASLok (fst-mail)]

Same problem =( Works after reinstall of skype and/or dependence:

Зависимости: ia32-libs (>= 20080808), lib32asound2 (> 1.0.22), lib32gcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), lib32stdc++6 (>= 4.2.1), libc6-i386 (>= 2.4)

I use this command to get it in one time:
sudo aptitude reinstall skype ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32stdc++6 libc6-i386

This bug report is being marked as confirmed because it is affecting more than one person.

You can learn more about bug statuses at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status . Please submit any future bugs you may find.

[papukaija (papukaija)]

The above comments suggest and confirm that this bug would actually be in prelink.

[Eric Hartmann (hartmann-eric)]

I experience the same trouble on 3 different computers.
I've blacklister skype in prelink. And it seems to work without reinstalling skype since two days.
To blacklist skype, just add this line at the bottom of /etc/prelink.conf :
-b /usr/bin/skype

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

could anybody try the latest skype on the latest ubuntu?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

[Expired for prelink (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

[Expired for skype (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Yury V. Zaytsev (zyv)]

No activity, so what? Please add Skype to prelink blacklist.

[Chucky (lechuck)]

I just confirm on Lucid (10.04.2 LTS) that Skype's main binary must be added to prelink's blacklist.

The proof is made by testing the blacklisting as it works (just add -b /usr/bin/skype at the end of /etc/prelink.conf) and by understanding why the other workaround (apt-get install --reinstall prelink) works too.

Maybe it is time to fix it as this is an annoying bug for an LTS-class distro !

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Prelink is unsupported, and strongly discouraged, software which undermines the address randomization security features of the Linux kernel. No fix for this should be expected on the Skype side.
