#84 Segfault after copying colour profile

[Anonymous]

Using "Configuration manager", I copied the Default colour profile to one named "nio".
Now, as soon as I choose "nio" as active colour profile, the program crashes with a segmentation fault.

Got it working again by running roxterm with the commandline option to use the default (or any other) colour profile.

System info:
- Roxterm version 2.6.3 , installed from repository using package manager (pacman)
- Uname -a: Linux 3.3.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 22 00:26:26 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Distro: Arch Linux 64bit

Version 2.6.3-1 to be precise.

I can't reproduce this. Can you make sure it's compiled with debugging symbols and not stripped, and get a backtrace? I think there was once a segfault bug in a previous Arch version which disappeared when it was recompiled.

I also have this issue with roxterm that ships with Debian Wheezy. I copied the default profile in order to create a custom color set and it immediately segfaulted and now segfaults on startup. I can't determine where roxterm created this profile to see if deleting it eliminates the problem

I wasn't logged in when I posted the previous comment. roxterm version is 2.6.5. If I start roxterm with "roxterm -p foo", it starts with just a complaint about an invalid profile, but otherwise it segfaults with 0 output.

ROXTerm uses the XDG spec for its config files so they should be found in ~/.config/roxterm.sourceforge.net. Colour schemes are in a subdirectory called Colours.

I'll install 2.6.5-1 later and see if I can reproduce the problem.

I got more information from Debian bug #752253 and managed to reproduce and fix this at last.

The fix will be released in version 2.9.1. If you're stuck with an old version see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752253 for a workaround.
