Enlightenment GIT crash hover over application menu

Hi guys,
I'm new in E18, I tried to use last stable e17 but it crash same as GIT version of e18.
Problem is, that after I go to the "start" menu - "Application" - "Accesories" and hover mouse through some menus there.. enlightenment crash and it shows me this message:
https://copy.com/IQ2XzmdPKSX3
I tried to get some log or debug message through gdb, but no way
I think that something is missing in my system, or some CFLAGS before installation.
Well.. some weird message inside xsession-errors:
http://pastebin.com/QGHa9PHM

I tried it run with 2 ways:
1. by normal logout from KDE and login to E18.
2. by running "xinit /usr/bin/enlightenment_start --: 3" command through KDE (new Xserver is openning and e18 inside it)

I found some same problem as mine on Ubuntu:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1979434
but nothing really informative..

Can anyone help? I would like to try this DE, but with this weird issue, it's nonusable for me

Thanks a lot..

Tomas

Re: Enlightenment GIT crash hover over application menu

First, we need to figure out what the hell you're actually using. You're talking about E17 (which is dead) and E18 Git, but E18 is the current stable version and E19 is current Git head, and getting set to be released.

Please give us actually version numbers and tell us how you're installing.

Re: Enlightenment GIT crash hover over application menu

Hi,
sorry for that.
I tried e18 (stable release) from archlinux repo (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … ghtenment/) and now I'm trying GIT version (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/enlightenment-git) so e19
Installation of GIT as it is mentioned here:
http://enlightenment.org/p.php?p=download&l=en
So 1st "efl-git" then "evas_generic_loaders-git", ...

But I think that it doesn't matter which version I'm using, because e18 crashed same way as e19. I only try install GIT version of e19, because I thought that something was buggy in e18 release version. Is it clear now?

Re: Enlightenment GIT crash hover over application menu

Yep, clear now. I took a closer look at your log and don't see anything that should be a problem. There's an issue with the jpeg2000 loader, but that can't be it. That loader is autodetected at build time, so it's not in the repo packages.

Normally when E crashes, it creates a file at ~/.e-crashdump.txt with a backtrace as long as gdb is installed. I just took a look at mine to find it isn't being created anymore for some reason. You should be getting one with E18 from the repos, but without debugging symbols, it's use will be limited.

I'm going to see if I can catch someone on IRC about the crashdump not being created.

Edit: Looks like even E18 won't be creating crashdumps now.

<raster> Scimmia: kernel problem i think. yama no ptrace feature disabling ptrace (strace, gdb) on repmote processes even of the same uid
<raster> sudo sysctl -w kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=0
<raster> try that
<Scimmia> ah crap, yeah, Arch just disabled that
<raster> yes
<raster> arch has done this now
<raster> i need to keep turning it off
<raster> sorry - nothing we can do in efl other than force things to be setuid root

Another user, grawity, may have an in-code workaround for it, stay tuned. In the mean time, run that command so we can get a crashdump and see what's happening.

Hi, problem is here http://git.enlightenment.org/core/enlig … _comp_wl.c starting on line 290. As you can see in xsession log my vendor is set to NULL even as I have Nvidia card and binary drivers. So that detection doesn't work properly.

That doesn't matter. I have the same thing with ATI open source drivers, all it does is disable the wayland client module.

Re: Enlightenment GIT crash hover over application menu

So .. should I try to install e19 without this:
    --enable-wayland-clients \
    --enable-wayland-egl

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname"

  export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fvisibility=hidden"

  ./autogen.sh \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --enable-wayland-clients \
    --enable-wayland-egl

  make
}

This is from PKGBUILD of e19 (AUR).

Re: Enlightenment GIT crash hover over application menu

Like I said, it doesn't matter. The module tries to load, fails, and everything moves on. Believe me, if it was a real problem, I would have disabled it in the PKGBUILD a long time ago (I'm the maintainer of enlightenment-git in the AUR).

Really, I need to figure out why it's failing and report it upstream, but I haven't played around with Wayland much lately.
