xsane crashes on startup with segmentation fault.

[kakashi]

Binary package hint: xsane

i am on Gutsy with all the updates installed.
scanner is canon canoscan lide 25.

here is the error msg.

(xsane:17139): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_style: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

edit.
this bug has now been fixed apparently. alteast i am no longer experiencing any problems using my setup. and other have commented that it is fixed too.
but due to uncertainty over how to mark it it still remains confirmed instead of something else like fixed.

[Larry Reaves (yrral86)]

I get the same thing as soon as I hit Ok after selecting which device I want. It also happens when I try to use xsane via the gimp acquire menu.

[kakashi (lordverminard)]

yes i checked same things happens on gimp too.

[Francois Duprez (francoisduprez)]

Same here, kooka and quiteinsane work fine. Error with xsane and xsane plugin:

Exactly the same here in gutsy with an epson stylus photo rx420

Setting to confirmed based on duplicates.

I get the same error on Xubuntu Gutsy Tribe 4 using a Genius Color-Page HR6X as seen below:

It won't work in GIMP either:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plug-in crashed: "xsane"
(/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/xsane)

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the Xsane website there's a new version of xsane (0.994) perhaps updating to that version would fix it. Has anyone tried using the 0.994 version? I had no problems scanning/using xsane in feisty though. :)

[Stefan Fleiter (stefan-fleiter)]

Not being able to scan from xsane and gimp should be at least importance medium if not high.
It would not be good for ubuntu's reputation to release gutsy with this bug.

[abeowitz (abeowitz-gmail)]

If you download the source code and comment out these lines, it seems to work... as far as I've tested anyway.

xsane.c:3527: //style = gtk_widget_get_style(about_dialog);
xsane.c:3528: //bg_trans = &style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL];
xsane.c:3631: //style = gtk_widget_get_style(about_translation_dialog);
xsane.c:3632: //bg_trans = &style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL];
xsane.c:5230: //current_style = gtk_style_copy(gtk_widget_get_style(xsane.tooltips->tip_window));
xsane.c:5231: //current_style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = xsane.tooltips_bg;
xsane.c:5232: //current_style->fg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = xsane.tooltips_fg;
xsane.c:5233: //gtk_widget_set_style(xsane.tooltips->tip_window, current_style);
xsane-gamma.c:2213: //style = gtk_widget_get_style(xsane.histogram_dialog);
xsane-gamma.c:2219:// xsane.gc_trans = style->bg_gc[GTK_STATE_NORMAL];
xsane-gamma.c:2220:// xsane.bg_trans = &style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL];

Dunno which lines are the culprit, though...

[Gérard Duteil (gerardduteil)]

Hello i have upload a source package
i extract this
i modifiy the lines

i upload the library edu710@edu710-desktop:~/Documents/xsane-0.994$ sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev libglib1.2-dev

i execute ./configure
make

i join my report

thanks

[Gérard Duteil (gerardduteil)]

for information the scanimage command run

scanimage -x 100 -y 100 --format=tiff >image.tiff

sorry i'm not programmer

[Jim McCormick (rantman-2000)]

Same here using an HP PSC 950 and the hplip drivers. This also crashes on the latest upstream package in the exact same manner. For output, see everybody else's problem.

I think SANE has gone insane.

I am with same problem. Scanner HP 2200 C.

This was fixed by upload of libgtk2.0-0 2.11.6-1ubuntu4.
Thanks a lot for this guys.

[Stefan Fleiter (stefan-fleiter)]

I do not know wether it's rhight to set this bug to "Fix Released" since it was not xsane which was fixed.
So setting back to confirmed.

[Jefferson Martins de Oliveira (jeffersonjbj)]

Thanks Stefan. Problem was fixed ;-)

[Gérard Duteil (gerardduteil)]

Hello,

i use edubuntu, i haven't touch any but it's a miracle. My scanner hp 6300 run
For notice in ubuntustudio 7.04 it's works very well also since a month ago

thanks for all

[J C Nash (nashjc)]

Running xsane from console on my wife's Compaq (updated Feisty) gives the segmentation fault right away. The "Searching for scanner" just flashes and things die.

Also, power down now fails. Just stops with splash screen. Possibly related to bug report 43961. Turning off splash gives a msg about 4 lines above "System halted" that libhal shutdown has failed. Need to press power switch and hold to shut off.

I wanted to completely remove xsane (then reinstall), but it would remove ubuntu-desktop. A little too much tight integration.

Suggestions on how to better diagnose things welcome.

For information, I also tried booting the penultimate kernel (2.6.20-15 rather than 2.6.20-16) with same results.

[Luke Hoersten (lukehoersten)]

When trying to run Xsane it flashes the scanning for devices and then crashes. When running Xsane and/or sane from the command line, I get a seg fault and core dump.

This problem does not occur when running with sudo. Per suggestions in other bugs, I've tried removing my ~/.sane dir but that did not fix the problem. ~/.sane is owned by my user. There aren't permission problems as far as I can tell but the fact that it will run as root still hints towards something of that nature.

I'll try to get a human readable backtrace posted.

[Luke Hoersten (lukehoersten)]

The backtrace is small and crashes with "0xb6fa9bf5 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libmfp.so"

After searching around, I find many reports like this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/samsung-driver-security-hole-587587/
and:
http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/18/0319203

We *did* just install the proprietary Samsung printer drivers for a new printer and many reports say that libmfp is affected by the Samsung drivers. The Samsung drivers are changing binaries to suid and then requiring them to run as root. It can be fixed by following this post:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341621

So, this is not an Ubuntu problem but maybe one of the Ubuntu devs has some Samsung contacts and could possibly get this security hole (and bugs) fixed.

[dmoyne (dmoyne-aliceadsl)]

I confirm this bug with Hardy Heron on 64 bit machine with UMAX Astra 1220S device ; works prefectly well on Gutsy on same equioment.

[shellmich (shellmich)]

I confirm this bug with Ubuntu 8.04 on an 32 bit machine with CanoScan LiDE 60. Xsane works when running with sudo. I did install the Samsung CLP-300 Unified Linux Driver (ver.2.00.97), which might be part of the reason. Would be great, if this could be solved by an simple patch.
