This is most likely a bug. It is recommended to restart now.

But is there any suggestions on what I should do next? The problem is that I don't even know now whether it is enlightenment causing the segfault or not, since it appears that it happens after X has shutdown W On Tue, Jul 26, 2005 at 12:59:15PM -0400, Willie Wong wrote: I was away from my computer for one week, and so ran a massive update on sunday night.

Bob - Hum, I always compile my own firefox. Firefox-bin often throw random errors at me. Am currently running 1.0.6-r3. Well, let me test that hypothesis. I'll see if X still crashes if I just leave it on without firefox running.

RE: [gentoo-user] Enlightenment segfaults?
So: what logs should I check and how should I find out what exactly is causing the problem? Did you try the revdep-rebuild -p to see if there are any broken dependencies? Did your files in /etc/conf.d get updated? Is your session stuff correct in /etc/rc.conf? Any messages in the syslog or from dmesg? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Any messages in the syslog or from dmesg? Since this was a gargantuan update on my part, I, of course, ran revdep-rebuild immediately after the emerge --update --deep world Then I ran etc-update and checked all the files. I boot into console so there's hardly anything at all there in /etc/rc.conf no log in /var/log/everything/, nor in dmesg. Whatever it was it has to be userland. All I know so far is from /var/log/Xorg.0.log which tells me that X died on SEGV, and a line in the console where I started X from that reads something like Enlightenment caused a seg fault. Right now I am running X with $ xinit Xerror 21 to see if I can capture the entire stderr that was printed (some floated off screen so the only thing I saw was effectively that enlightenment was bad). Question: During the update, there were 2 or 3 packages that I wasn't able to update due to sandbox violations. I've been intending to check into that later on this week. Those were dependencies of mplayer and were not, as far as I know, dependencies of enlightenment or X. I am hoping that those aren't the packages.
