#528 areca crashes when saving any configuration data
Problem description:
A configuration change either for the workspace or for a dedicated target is not longer possible. When trying to save a new or a modified configuration the program immediately crashes.
More details you may find in the attached file.
Problem fixed by installing the missing package eclipse-swt in openSUSE 13.1
Same issue here, on Ubuntu linux 64 bit 13.10. But it is totally unclear to me what I should install to fix the issue. In any case, the app should not crash and and core dump for a missing dependency.
Application crashes as soon as one tries to edit a target and tries to close (either by save or cancel) the corresponding dialogue.
Trying to install the various libswt-gtk-3 packages does not seem to help... maybe I'm missing something.
Hi
I tested Areca7.4.4 on Ubuntu (32 bit JRE : 1.6.0_20 - OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.10) (6b20-1.9.10-0ubuntu1~10.04.2) - OpenJDK Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)) with Areca's 32 bit packaged and all went fine (no issue during target edition)
I didn't test on a 64 bit JRE.
... BTW : what's your JRE architecture ? (32 or 64 bits ?)
If your problem persist, you should try to get the latest version of the SWT files (that match your jre architecture : 32 or 64 bits), and replace them in the /lib subdirectory of Areca :
org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.2.0.v20060603.jar
org.eclipse.jface_3.2.0.I20060605-1400.jar
org.eclipse.core.commands_3.2.0.I20060605-1400.jar
swt.jar
... and see if it solves your problem
Working with kubuntu 13.10 64 bit with java 7
java version "1.7.0_51"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.4) (7u51-2.4.4-0ubuntu0.13.10.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)
Ubuntu packages the libswt using many different packages (many of them carrying a jni suffix). I'll try to look for those files in them.
Since Kubuntu 14.04 ships java version "1.7.0_51", the issue stays the same.
Please share your solution if you got one.
OK... I think that I have a solution.
The issue is that the swt.jar that is in areca includes a libswt-gtk that has an issue with the glib that is shipped in ubuntu saucy and trusty, at least on 64bit machines (cannot test on 32 bit ones).
Unfortunately, installing the libswt-gtk that is distributed with ubuntu saucy and trusty does not fix the issue. The version in ubuntu (which is the same in saucy and trusty) is older and has the same problem.
However, downloading the latest swt-4.3-gtk-linux-x86_64.zip from eclipse and putting the swt.jar that is found there in the lib dir of areca (while getting rid of the ubuntu's libswt-gtk stuff) fixes the issue.
Thus, I suggest that a new point release of areca is made, including the latest swt.jar.
Thank you Sergio! Your solution works for me.
For all others running into the same issue, here is the link where you can find the swt-4.3-gtk-linux-x86_64.zip:

Thanks to Sergio and Milhouse
I'll update those files in the next version of Areca
Best regards
Done in v7.4.5
