Bug#909015: abiword: Crashes on startup with GLib-ERROR (Bug #909015)
Hallo Herr Kaiser,
I just tried to reproduce the issue while not being the maintainer.
But it started up properly in a Debian Stretch i386 VM.
For some reason it looks like it tries to allocate nearly 4GB of memory.
Was this the complete output of the abiword start attempt?
If there is some more output about missing *_dri.so files
then a google search points to a missing libgl1-mesa-dri package.
If this is the only output, does this also happen when you login
with a different user with a fresh home directory?
The maintainer will probably need some more information e.g.
which graphics card is in the system or which desktop environment you use.
When additional packages gdb and libglib2.0-0-dbg would be installed,
following command would print the stack on the first allocation above 95MB:
gdb -q -ex "b main" -ex run -ex "b g_malloc if n_bytes > 100000000" -ex cont -ex bt -ex detach -ex quit --args abiword
(This could take quite some time.)
Kind regards,
Bernhard
