Gnome APPS Log Details

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop SLED Applications
1

Hi All,

I’m using SLED12 x86_64 on my laptop. Previously I used SLED11 & didn’t face such problem ::

Mainly two application’s behaviour are are abnormal (some times).

Evolution :: to write a new mail (either Ctrl+N or ‘New’ from the Icon) does not work sometimes, on the taskbar it although shows the new Compose Mail window but it’s not clickable, after 3-4 minutes later it’ll display a popup window with ‘Force to quit’ and ‘Wait’ button from Evolution. After 3-4 times click the ‘Wait’ button, it display & active the Compose Mail window. If I click ‘Force to quit’ button then entire Evolution mail client close, which is normal, but after start the Mail client, it again shows the same thing (if again I would open a Compose Mail). But during this time other apps behaviour remain normal.

Rhythmbox :: Sometimes it quit, may be during playing the music from my Local Library or sometimes it quit If i would add some audio from my Local library to my playlist.

On the previous version of SLED11 I never faced such type of apps behaviour.

So, to solve this can any one tell me where are logs for those apps, so that if again that happens then I can post the log details.

Thanks

Hi
Normally in those cases I open a terminal and run (as in start) the
application from the command line, else start the application with gdb;

gdb evolution
....
{gdb starting up}
.....
run <press enter>

The other one is using strace again from the command line in a terminal;

strace evolution

Hi Malcolm,

Thanks for those commands, I’ve already started the evolution with the ‘strace’ programe

strace -C -oevolution_log-25-NOV-2014 evolution

If it’ll again happen, I’ll send the log.

Thanks

Hi
If you look at the last part of the log, can you see it starting to
generate errors before it crashes?

Hello Malcolm,

I’ve two log files, first one genareted by the ‘strace -o’ and the second one actually was on the terminal ‘strace -C’, and I copied it to a file

Now, when the Rhythmbox terminated, on the terminal I’ve seen huge lines and I can only grab approx 500 lines. Bellow are last three lines from the strace terminal output ::

7fa84b024000-7fa84b025000 rw-p 00014000 00:20 4933                       /lib64/libresolv-2.19.so
7fa84b025000-7fa84b027000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 
7fa84b027000-7fa84b048000 r-xp 00000000 00:20 4847                       /lib64/libselinux.so.1Aborted

And last 5 lines from the strace log files ::

close(25)                               = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [ABRT], NULL, 8) = 0
tgkill(3290, 3290, SIGABRT)             = 0
--- SIGABRT {si_signo=SIGABRT, si_code=SI_TKILL, si_pid=3290, si_uid=1000} ---
+++ killed by SIGABRT +++

After the above 5 lines on the strace log, some summery of the error,systemcall, time, etc. is present.

Can you tell me, if possible, is this due to how i configured my system or something else.

Thanks

Hi
So something is calling for the program to abort… hard to say :frowning:

So if you use gdb;

gdb /usr/bin/rhythmbox
run

See if we can see why it fails… I have it here running ok.

The other option, create a test user and login as the test user, does
it duplicate? That indicates system wide, else it will just be as your
user.

Hi Malcolm,

I’ll do it again with gdb.

But One thing, On the strace terminal output, why it says ‘/lib64/libselinux.so.1Aborted’
I think it’s SELinux module/library.
My knowldge says SLED ships apparmor and SELinux on the SLED 12, but by default apparmor is active

Thanks
