[Solved] glibc 2.18-1 break my system

Hi, after updating glibc to 2.18-1 if I try to login into plasma desktop (4.11 from testing) from kdm system returns to kdm, instead if I login into e17 or openbox and try to launch some applications such as konsole this doesn t work, dolphin, firefox and chromium return "segmentation fault (core dump)". Everything goes back to work if I downgrade glibc to 2.17-6. This happens on 32-bit system, while on a 64-bit system everything is ok.

Did you reboot?
Can you post your /etc/fstab?

Re: [Solved] glibc 2.18-1 break my system

Segfaults will be entirely unrelated to fstab...

I need processor details and a backtrack of one of the segfaults.


Edit: preferably submitted to the bug tracker.

Re: [Solved] glibc 2.18-1 break my system

Do you use fglrx?

For a simple backtrace, run:

gdb glxgears
# then at the gdb shell
run
# then wait for the crash and then
bt

If so, we have had this here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1312640

yes I use it. With glibc glibc-2.17-6 works but with glibc-2.18-1 I get
