glines segfault

I could not reproduce the error, but I am using 64-bit. The error could be due to an old configuration file, so try to purge the application and reinstall it.

sudo apt-get purge glines
sudo apt-get install glines

If it still segfault's, please get a backtrace: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

I have same problem with clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 i386. Purge and install didn't help, still same: SIGSEGV

I am afraid I can not debug the problem. I have followed
DebuggingProgramCrash instructions but there is no -dbg package nor
glines-dbgsym.

I gathered a backtrace using gdb but I couldn't find a dbg package so some of the symbols are missing.

One more backtrace...

BTW, the 64bit version works without problem...

Does anybody know why a "catchsegv glines" also just segfaults without any further output?

I think I found the same bug in the gnome-games bugtracker at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675628

I just wrote this patch to get things working again; not at all certain it's completely sane though.

I just tested the patch from Carey Underwood (see #10). It works like a charm.

How to add a patch,

Thank you in advance

I am sorry I meant how to apply the patch ?

For me there is an error line 12

Still happens with version 1:3.6.1-0ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Raring.

Observed also on Kubuntu 13.04 (Dev)
 uname -r
3.7.0-3-generic

Since there is a simple patch that appears to work it would be good if someone who knows how to do it could incorporate it. I suppose they all have more important issues to deal with however.

The patch that Carrie posted (post #10 above) worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm a novice Linux user, so most anyone should be able to apply her patch. Here is what I did.

1. Uninstalled Gnome-Games completely.
2. Downoaded gnome-games-3.6.1.tar.xz from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org.
3. Extracted the tar file to the /tmp directory. This extracted a diretory named "gnome-games-3.6.1" containing all of the files needed to install Gnome Games.
4. Navigated to the subdirectory named "glines", and then opened the subdirectory named "src".
5. Added the additonal lines of source code from Carrie's patch to the file named"glines.c". I added just the lines with a plus (+) sign in front of them.
6.Navigated back to the parent directory (gnome-games-3.6.1), and then ran the following commands to install Gnome Games. After the install completed, I had to reboot before I could see the games in Dashboard.

./configure
make
sudo make install

 And after that glines are working?

I'll donate AUD$50 to any charity if a developer who can get this into ubuntu 12.10.

It's my Mum's favourite game and donating $50 is worth getting her off my back about fixing this game.

the patch works fine in precise
can someone confirm that 12.10 and 13.04 are still affected, the code as changed a bit.

I can confirm the patch is working on 12.04.

For all the people out there trying to get it working as soon as possible I've created a fixed package for Ubuntu 12.04 (32 Bit). (see attachment)
You can just download and install it with the gui (double click) or in terminal (with dpkg -i filename.deb) until the fixed package is in ubuntu...

Merry Christmas!

I can confirm that 12.10 (32bit) is affected and applying the patch fixes
the problem.

I confirmed it for 13.04 too
the patch in the upstream bug which looks a bit nicer and seems to work fine too.

Kev #22 - Good enough for me. $50 donated to the Australian Red Cross to support cyclone recovery in Samoa and Fiji.

All uploaded. Thanks!

Quantal i386 looks good for me

Me too!

The new version doesn't throw an inital set of balls onto the board after startup. The user needs to start the game with Strg+N. I remember that the former version did this automatically.

Hello,

just for your information, I am under Kubuntu Raring alpha 1 (13.04) and
glines works fine.

Thanks.

Still broken in a fresh raring install.

the patch was dropped in the split to five-or-more in raring as upstream claimed it was fixed, it seems this is not the case.
the old patch applied to quantal and older still works.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have uploaded a fix for ubuntu 13.04, please test it when it has been accepted.
The release will post instructions.
