#21 Access violation

[Vivien]

Hi,
I just start the DarGUI 0.7.2 the first time and I get this error massage:

"Access violation.

Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption.
Press Cancel to kill the program."

In the terminal:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"
DAR using English language
Dar version detected: 2.4.8
(using libdar 5.3.0)
Unable to load libdargui
TApplication.HandleException Access violation

What Operating System are you using?

[Vivien]

I use Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.

[Malcolm Poole]

Hmm! It probably means that your system is using a newer gtk library than the one that DarGUI was compiled with and it's time to compile a new version of DarGUI.
Could you post the output from

ldd dargui|grep "found"

This will tell us which libraries are missing.

[Vivien]

There is no output of the command you gave me.
I attached the output of the command without the grep.

[Malcolm Poole]

Thanks.
The libdargui reference is a red herring and irrelevant - libdargui is not needed for this version. DarGUI is obviously able to interface with Dar and identify its version, so presumably there is some problem with gtk.
A search for Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module" suggests that there are problems with this in Ubuntu 14.04.
I will get back with more info when I have downloaded a copy of Ubuntu 14.04.

I have tried DarGUI in a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 and have been unable to reproduce your problem exactly. However, I do get similar errors when trying to select a file to open it or include it in an archive. I have compiled DarGUI on Ubuntu 14.04 and the same thing happens. It appears to be related to unity.
As I have already spent quite a lot of time on this without identifying the problem I will not be pursuing the problem further (unless someone wishes to pay for my time: given that 18,000 downloads have produced no donations whatsoever, this seems unlikely).

Hello Malcolm,

I have exactly the same problem as Vivien.

When I click "ok" the program renders unusable.

cli:
~ $ dargui
atd daemon not running
DAR using English language
Dar version detected: 2.4.8
(using libdar 5.3.0)
Unable to load libdargui
TApplication.HandleException Access violation
Stack trace:

ldd dargui gives no result, Does the missing atd daemon has to do something with it?

I'running Mint 17 Mate 32bit.

I just donated 5 USD. I know it's nothing but a gesture.

Same error with Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64bits.

Hello Malcolm,

I have exactly the same problem with DarGUI for Windows 1.0 on Windows Server 2008R2.

On some archives it works normally, but on most archives first I see a "Busy..." notification, and then "Access violation" error on different percentage, from 4% to 50%, depending of archive size. Is there any way to detect and solve the problem?
