Segmentation Fault under Linux
Nov 12th, 2010 at 1:00pm
Print Post Print Post  
Hi out there,
I am trying to run my database on a Linux (Ubuntu10.10) machine. It loads fine but when I call certain views it crashes with "segmentation fault" and no further information. The database has been running with no trouble on WinXP for more than a year now.
Is there any way on getting a bit more of debugging info out of sesame?
Or any idea on how to tackle the problem?
Cheers
Carsten

You mentioned "calling certain views". What are these? Does it go down every time or is it sporadic? Are you running client/server or standalone?

Hi Mark,

I have a number of forms in my database and when I call certain of them the program crashes (views was misleading, sorry). It is always the same forms and it is reproduce able. The problem occurs regardless whether I run standalone or in client/server mode.

regards
Carsten

Linux tends to be less forgiving than Windows. If you wish, you could send the app in to support and they'll run it on Linux and see if we can reproduce (and possibly repair) the problem here. When running client/server, on which side did the problem occur?

The problem always occurs on the client side.
Whom would I send the application to?

Send to it to support@lantica.com with an email describing the steps. If it is very large, contact them at that email address and they will send instructions for sending it our way.

Will do. It currently is about 10MB but I will strip it of the data and see, whether that is sufficient to reproduce the error.

As per our email conversation, I found and fixed the problem. It has to do with monetary formatting wherein the money symbol appears after the number, on Linux only. The fix will be in the next release.

Cheers Mark,

any idea when this is due? Is there a hot-fix I can do in the meanwhile?

Tanks
Carsten

We are hoping to get this version into test soon (days, not months).

You can temporarily set the output format for money fields so as to not use a currency symbol or to place the currency symbol before the number. If a currency symbol must appear, you can remove it from the output formatting, and place it to the right of the element as a bit of static text. Or, you can temporarily use Linux for your server and Windows for clients. This is a client side Linux only bug.

If you opt to set the money fields, be sure you change them all.

Ok, thanks, I will have a think what is the most acceptable and economic hack for now.

Thanks again for your support. It just confirms yet again that I have made the right choice opting for Sesame!

Are there any changes here?
