Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. If you can reproduce this, please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at [WWW] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Thank you for your message. I'm sorry for this late response. I make the backtrace following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace. The backtrace file is attached in this message. According to the file, "Segmentation fault" occurs when amule tries to retrieve a server list. I think this is the bug I encounterd.
I hope this report is helpful.

Thank you, this is a lot better than the first one, but not perfect. Do you have amule-dbgsym installed ? If not, you can get it by following the procedure descirbed in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash . Thank you.

Oops, sorry. I forgot to install the package. After installing amule-dbgsym, I remake the backtrace, which is attached in this message. Thank you for your kind response.

Thank you, this is far better but I think we could still improve this a bit. Could you please install libxcb1-dbg and libx11-6-dbg then rerun the backtrace ? Thank you very much.

Thank you for your message. I remake the backtrace after installing libxcb1-dbg and libx11-6-dbg as you instructed. I hope you can find the crucial point of this bug this time. Good luck!

Thank you, I forwarded this upstream.

I've just uploaded aMule 2.2.0 CVS, can you please try with it once it hits the repositories and report back? If it fails, please get a new backtrace with the debugging symbols for the new package.

Thanks!

Oh great Emilio, upstream just asked to test with the svn version ! It seems much more mature.

Thank you, guys! I update and run amule to see how it works.
When I run amule as root, it works well, meaning connections to severs are established.
The console output is attached as follows.

Thank you. However, I run as a non-administrative normal user, the following output is obtained and the program ends immediately. (I do this because the console output says running amule as root is not recommended as you know.)

---(beginning of console output)---

$ amule
Initialising aMule
Checking if there is an instance already running...
There is an instance of aMule already running
Raising current running instance.

---(end of console output)---

I don't know why amule fails to be launched. What should I do to launch it as an normal user?

afujihara: this looks like a different issue, could you please open a new bug about it ? Thank you.

I'm marking this bug as fixed.
