Description Carlos Gonçalves 2008-01-31 19:29:05 UTC
Cannot open Boot Loader module.
Got the following xmessage:

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file Progress.ycp:106
/sbin/yast2: line 439: 14198 Segmentation fault      $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS


If I'm not mistaken this bug was previsouly reported, but fixed meanwhile. So far it only affects this YaST module.

Running Factory (31 Jan)

Both qt & ncurses versions of:- all in hardware section, bootloader and partitioner, in fact anything relating to hardware in yast doesn't work.

I'm using latest factory at date of posting.
Various segmentation faults and sometimes the program quietly dies.
Comment 5 Jozef Uhliarik 2008-03-26 13:00:28 UTC
It seems to be problem of qt.
Comment 6 Dave Plater 2008-03-26 14:02:15 UTC
Then why does the command "yast bootloader" crash with this output :- YaST got signal 11 at YCP file Arch.ycp:44
/sbin/yast: line 420:   394 Segmentation fault      $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

I cannot use any yast hardware setup functions.

(In reply to comment #5 from Jozef Uhliarik)
> It seems to be problem of qt.

This is too simple for an explanation.

Sorry, but I don't debug each and any segfault everywhere without any reasonable explanation why it would be a problem of the UI.

Many segfaults are caused by inconsistent library versions. Other possible reasons may be memory corruption anywhere. It can't be the job of the UI maintainer to debug all this everywhere, in particular not if only one YaST2 module of over 100 is affected.
Comment 8 Stefan Hundhammer 2008-03-26 14:17:04 UTC
P.S. With the same reasoning somebody could say it's a compiler bug or a kernel bug.
Comment 9 Dave Plater 2008-03-31 16:03:51 UTC
I updated yast2-core yast2-hardware-detection glibc libstdc++ hwinfo and all the gcc dependencies and I'm happy to say my entire yast2 suite is working well, except for software version tab display but thats a different bug.
I don't know what went right so I'll leave marking fixed to someone else.

It's duplicated of bug# 360646
