In Kubuntu 11.04 I added the repositories for eduke32 to KPackageKIt and installed eduke32. If I try ./eduke32 I get the error "Segmentation fault". If I try to run eduke32 from the menu with a konsole open I get the error "Warning:Program eduk32 crashed. If I run sudo eduke32 it starts fine. Ubuntu installed it in /usr/games/eduke32. I tried moving the executable to /usr/local/bin and got the same result. Changing the permissions on eduke32 doesn't work either. Anyone know a fix or a way to get around this?

Thanks,

Hi,

Can you test with the last update and see if it occurs again ?

This is the output of apt-cache policy eduke32.

Is this late enough or are you suggesting I compile a newer version from source?

[bioman]

Yes, you have the last revision but better you compile from source with RELEASE=0, to get more informations about the crash.
Or you can rebuild the package like this:

Make sure you have added the 'deb-src' line in your sources.list file.
sudo apt-get install build-essential gdb
sudo apt-get build-dep eduke32
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt" apt-get -b source eduke32
It will builds the packages, then install it :
sudo dpkg -i eduke32*.deb

Once installed run eduke32 with GDB:
gdb eduke32
At the prompt type 'r' and press enter.
When the crash occurs type 'bt' and report the output.
To leave the GDB prompt type 'quit'.

OK, here it is:

I hope that's enough!

Thanks,

Tested under Kubuntu 11.04 32-bit and no problems here.

Please try to move your .eduke32 folder:

mv $HOME/.eduke32 $HOME/.eduke32_back

And what happens when you launch another GTK+ app like Gimp ?

[lcharles]

Moving ./eduke32 did not make any obvious difference. However Gimp has the same problem as eduke32, i.e. I have to run it with sudo.

By the way my $HOME partition is encrypted. Should that make a difference?

Thanks,

lcharles

[bioman]

Possible, this could be due to the fact that GTK+ can acess root's home and not yours or some config files that break GTK startup.
Try to move yours .gconf, .gnome, .gnome2, .local folders and clean .cache.

[lcharles]

I tried each of those suggestions and it didn't seem to change the problematic behavior at all.

[Plagman]

This really sounds like you're having a specific issue with GTK, have you tried their support channels at all?

[lcharles]

It doesn't sound like a bad suggestion. However I'm not a particularly knowledgeable Linux user. Do you have a forum that you would recommend? Is there a specific way I should state the problem to make it clear?

Thanks,

lcharles

[Helixhorned]

When all else fails, you could just compile with WITHOUT_GTK=1.

[lcharles]

Well, I did try that. It seemed to compile OK, but when I run the executable now I get an error message:

"can't load TABLES.DAT"

Does anyone have any more ideas?

Thanks.

[Lukas ThyWalls]

I have the same problem and I think i know what problem is.

The problem is what said Plagman, a problem with Oxygen Theme in KDE 4.6, with some programs using GTK like Gimp, Geany or eDuke32

Info here:

http://www.kubuntu-e...an-kubuntu-1104 (Sorry, in Spanish)

https://bugs.launchp...imp/+bug/742516

https://bugs.launchp...any/+bug/741658

With GIMP, only have to execute "Gimp -i" from console (Gimp without interface) once time and it isn't ocurrs anymore. I don't know if with eDuke32 has a workaround.

Edit: You can change in System Preferences -> Aplications Appareance -> GTK+ Appareance and switch "oxygen-gtk" to other in widget style (If you want, before install "oxygen-molecule" package, it's a very close appareance to "oxygen-gtk") and it works.

@Lukas ThyWalls

That worked! Thanks so much.
