time-admin crashes at launch

screenshot of the problem.

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? On edgy you don't need to use sudo to run it

Ubuntu Dapper. I'm running it with all the latest official updates.
(6.06.1?)

Could you get a backtrace of the hang?
- sudo gdb time-admin
(gdb) run
... hang
<Ctrl-C>
(gdb) thread apply all bt

Here's the backtrace:

This doesn't look like g-s-t's fault. Similar backtraces at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329015 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328901

Do you have the same issue with some other applications too? Is esound running? That seems to be an issue with it

Confirmation of this bug. However, it has been a while since this bug was opened and this report is from Edgy (original poster was running Dapper).

time-admin crashes
sudo time-admin works like it should

Linux x31 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Fri Oct 6 00:36:14 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

Gnome time-admin 2.15.5

Updated Edgy as of 30min ago. Restarted system after update, time-admin crashed. Restarted system again, first thing done after boot was to start time-admin, crashed again. Did this one more time, same result. Also tried launching the app via right-click one gnome clock -> adjust date/time.

ESD is running fine
(not bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329015)

Please note that this is the first time that time-admin was invoked in Edgy. Worked fine in Dapper (although the last time it was invoked is unknown).

Including files:
* output from bug reporting tool
* strace (strace -Ff -tt <program> <arguments> 2>&1 | tee strace-<program>.log)

Could you get a backtrace with liboobs-1-2-dbg gnome-system-tools-dbgsym installed ?
- gdb time-admin
(gdb) run
...get the crash
(gdb) thread apply all bt

I wanted to do this before posting but could not find gnome-system-tools with gdb in any repo. Only gnome-system-tools exists. Could you please direct me to a repo or a link where I could find this package? liboobs is available in the repos. I find that Ubuntu is missing a lot of gdb packages.

with edgy, "deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs edgy main" has debug packages for all the packages which has been rebuilt with the service running (most of GNOME by example)

Hello,

Thank you Mr. Sebastien Bacher, that repo sure is useful!

Thanks for your work on that. The backtrace looks weird, there is no segmentation fault there. Are you sure it crashed? Or did you attach gdb to a running program?

You are correct, gdb was attached. Included is a new trace. Although it too looks a little strange - very short and without symbols being loaded or read. Maybe this is normal. It does show the crash and the reason (missing file). Hopefully this trace is good.

This bug has been fixed with an update in Edgy unstable within the last few days. time-admin no longer crashes.

Bug has been fixed in Edgy. Maybe close it?

Thanks for following up. Closing the bug.
