New FBReader segfaults - HELP - in the middle of a good book :-/.
Hi Folks,
Updated FB reader today to version0.8.13-1 and now it segfaults out. Not sure what version I had, usually when I see an update to FBReader I update it since I use the N800 mostly as an ebook reader. Am running the LCARS theme, which is the only other change I have made recently. Went back to the original theme, made no difference. Uninstalled and re-installed and got the same thing. uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled - same thing. I am getting (thank the gods for the xterm :-): ~$ FBReader FBReader[1533]: GLIB WARNING ** GTK - gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -24 and height 0 Segmentation Fault ~$ It gets to the point of putting up the screen and starts opening the book and disappears, with the above. Anyone know how I can roll back to a previous version so I can finish this book? Hate to have to dig out the Z31 and get that going again. Thanks VERY much for any help, suggestions or pointers! Take care es 73, V. |

Getting similar type of problem on my 770 (latest os2006)
I get he following in xterm: ~ $ FBReader -v 1077: arguments to dbus_connection_register_object_path() were incorrect, assertion "path[0] == '/'" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 4349. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-BUS library. Segmentation fault Have fun Ben |

Hi Ben,
NOT fun, right at the exciting conclusion of the story :-(. Not sure what to do at this point, perhaps get stuff that works and just not update anything. Dug out the Z31 and got it loaded up with what I need there, so I'll survive. Longer I have the n800 I wonder what the point is when the Z31 does a lot of what I need :-/. Yes, just slightly frustrated ATM :-). 73, V. |

It happened to me after the 'upgrade'
The following works again - phew http://www.fbreader.org/maemo/test/l....2-1_armel.deb http://www.fbreader.org/maemo/test/f....2-1_armel.deb |

Thanks folks, what a NICE thing to wake up to :).
Permanently archived those copies. Last night the n800 was powered down and in a drawer, first time since I got it :-(. Dug out the z31 and finished the book :-/. Will be nice to have the LCARS theme back too :). Much appreciated! |

Or go into the application mananger and from the top menu select tools and then install from file and navigate to where you put them.
This is what I just did, worked great and I have FBReader back!!!!!!!! :-) :-) :-)! Not sure you need to install the zlibzlibrary first or not, but that is what I did - worked fine :-). Did I mention how happy I am to have FBReader back :-) :-) :-)! HTH |

Hrm. Neither option works for me. I'm on a 770.

I went to downloads.maemo.org, selected the button for my OS (2007) and searched for fbreader.
The version there seems to be the good one, because I uninstalled the segaulting one, installed that one, I have fbreader back. With luck it will be the same for OS2006 |
Re: New FBReader segfaults - HELP - in the middle of a good book :-/.
Hrm. Now I get an error saying that it can't download the file and the installation is canceled.
Harumph. |

When I have got that before it is because the site was slow.
Try downloading it to your desktop machine and copying it to your tablet either via scp or via plugging the tablet into your desktop via USB. Then use the install from file ability in the application manager menu. Zebee |

go to http://www.fbreader.org/downloads.php (got to via the homepage link on the fbreader entry on downloads.maemo.org) and from there you follow the obvious path to the offline installation: http://www.fbreader.org/maemo/maemo2.php#maemo2.offline (I note that a browser that shows you the URL for a link when you mouse over it is very useful - you can see if you have a link to a deb or to something else.)

Why not just add their repository and be done with it for this and all future updates?

Re: New FBReader segfaults - HELP - in the middle of a good book :-/.
Woot! That did the trick! It's not finding my books, but I can sort that out now that the damned thing will actually launch!
Thanks! |
Re: New FBReader segfaults - HELP - in the middle of a good book :-/.
Well crap. I spoke too soon. It launched just fine on the initial install, but subsequent attempts to launch fail. No error. It tries to launch, but then just stops.

Here's hoping that the version on the repository will be *fixed* which is what this was about in the first place :)
I don't know if the version on the fbreader site is the bad or the good - I was able to install from maemo.org which still has the old good version. Go on, read the start of the thread, you know you want to :) Zebee |
