Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xterm
On an Apple iMac running gutsy x86_64 (see the following page for how I installed Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10) http://www.penlug.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/LinuxHardwareInfoAppleiMac24 I get intermittent segfaults (seen in dmesg as follows) when I have these lines in my $HOME/XTerm file: *saveLines: 100000 *scrollBar: true The "dmesg" shows (near the end): ...

When I remove the following line from $HOME/XTerm *scrollBar: true the intermittent failures stop occurring, so it seems to be a workaround. ** Affects: xterm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- xterm on x86_64 intermittently segfaults when ~/XTerm contains "*scrollBar: true" and "*saveLines: 100000" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
