Hi all!

I have a repeatable bug that produces a segmentation fault. When I am in Sdesigner and I try to change the property viewer from Selected Element to Layout or Application the program exit  and in terminal used to start it it says segmentation fault. . I had it do this a few times with Database as well but now I can not seem to replicate this.

I am running Linspire 5.0.59  (Linux)and have version 1.1.3 of Sesame and Sdesigner.

It is possible to get this information if needed else where, however it is a big bother to have the program crash with a segmentation fault and leave the file locked.

I have tried numerous database, my own and ones from the sample folder as well. All with the same results.

I am working on my laptop now and will try this on my desktop at work on Monday to see if to does the same thing. It is also running Linspire 5.0.

Any help would be appreciated!

Before I answer any questions. I try to duplicate the problem on my desktop and I can not make it happen, ever. So, I  am  guessing that something is different  with the setup on the laptop.

When you say that you cannot replicate this, do you mean that you cannot replicate the problem in general, or that you cannot replicate the problem associated with selecting Database instead of Layout or Application. 

I could not replicate it when I selected Database instead of Layout or Application.

Does it do it in all of the sample applications? Does it happen in Customers.db (as a .dsr)?
It did this with everyone of the sample applications I tried. Callback, Customers, Countries, Gems, Schedule as well is with my own databases.


Can you remember if any particular element was selected when this happens? Anything you can give us that makes this more specific would help greatly. I just tried it in Customers.dsr without a problem (running SuSe 9.3). Any steps you can remember that you took just previous to seeing this would help. Have you been in the programming editor, or looking at preview mode, or using a different application and just going back to Sesame?

No actually I did nothing that I did not have to do to get to the point where I could change what I  was  viewing in the property viewer. It did it every time I  changed to view the layout or application propertyies. In the beggining  it did it also with the database selection as well but in the end only the layout or application  would do this.

Let me know if there is something else that I can do to help troubleshoot this.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi Mark!

Not really that I can  remember. It pretty much does its thing when installing. You tell it where you want  it to install, walk  away come back the CD drawer is open and a picture is on the screen instructing you to take the CD out and hit enter. You do this and you are up and running. It is no wonder they call Linspire the worlds easiest desktop linux.

Are you thinking that this is in relation to the mouse or graphics drivers? The Laptop has a touch pad but I normally use a USB trackball which is the same one I use on the desktop.

Let me know if there is something that I can check to see  what is different in these areas. I will dig around and see if I can figure out what is different in these two areas.

Hi Mark!

I will look into the log files when I go home. I did look around last night on the Laptop. It has the same setup for graphics as the desktop. When I  tried to open the control panel to look at the mouse setting on the laptop the control panel application crashed. Not just once but every time. I smell a rat (or mouse)!

Hi Mark!

I try creating the error while I had tail follow the three log files and I could recreate the error but no new messages were created in any of the log files.

Does Sesame have a way to tell it to create a log file for debuging?  The server log does not log any thing when this happens either.

I will take the issue of the control panel crashing when I try to open the mouse setting section and see with what they come back with.
