Gnome Inform 7

Tracker: Bugs

5 gnome-inform7 crashes from 'Start a new project' - ID: 2180569
Last Update: Comment added ( nobody )

New issue with Gnome-inform7 [ Inform (1.1 6.31N/5U92) ] and current
Ubuntu Intrepid release (updates as of Oct 19 2008).
'Reopen last project' and 'Open an existing project' both work, but
application crashes when selecting 'Start a new project' from initial
screen.
Probably Ubuntu's fault, but I thought I'd report what I can.

Thanks! I'm using CrunchBang Linux, which is derived from Ubuntu, so I
figured I would use the Ubuntu .deb. I just uninstalled and tried the
other, which *seems* to work great. Cheers :)

Check the downloads page. Make sure to download the 5U92.1 version. There
are two i386 .debs, one for Ubuntu
(gnome-inform7_5U92.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb), the other for regular Debian
(gnome-inform7_5U92.1_i386.deb).

I have this problem too, but I can't seem to find the file to make the
change liedman
suggests. Do I need to un-install and compile to get the fix? No sign of
a .deb yet?

Thanks.

I understand completely and I'm trying my best, but I will have very little
time to spend on Inform for the next two weeks. Maybe I'll be able to make
some time this evening.

It would be appreciated if a new version of the packages were released for
those of us who aren't very compile-savvy. Folks like me are unfortunately
waiting on a fix we can use. It would be nice if a .deb package were thrown
together and uploaded, please.

Thanks... but it's not related. However, both of these errors have been
fixed in the latest CVS version. Just download that and compile it. I will
try to put out new packages when I get around to it, but I'll be very busy
for the next few weeks.

if it can confort you, on Archlinux, it's crashing too when starting a new
project. I guess new versions of gtk broke something.

I tried to remove gnome-inform7 from my system to compile it again, and
it's no longer working, the compilation halt at this part: (I write it here
because it may be related)

appwindow.c:54: erreur: static declaration of
‘gtk_container_get_focus_child’ follows non-static declaration
/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkcontainer.h:157: erreur: previous declaration
of ‘gtk_container_get_focus_child’ was here

I guess compiling gnome-inform7 is not working either on "intrepid"
release (from the latest official gnome-inform source release)

Thank you so much for the fix! I don't know why this wasn't showing up in
my debugger.

I can confirm the bug on Ubuntu Intrepid on my machine as well.

I also have a fix:

Replacing g_free(default_path) on line 175 in newdialog.c with the
following line solves the issue:

gtk_tree_path_free(default_path);

I think this means the Intrepid-version of GTK requires you to free the
path using GtkTreePath's own free method for internal cleanup, rather than
just using g_free.

This totally puzzles me. The crash doesn't even happen at the same place in
the source every time! I'm almost certain it's a bug in Ubuntu's version of
GTK but I have no idea where it occurs or what to report it as.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
