#86 Ubuntu 15.04 Crash saving game

[waffen]

I just installed from deb packages the latest version in ubuntu 15.04 64bits, every time I try to save an imported game (normal or chess960) app crash,here error message:

$ scidb-beta
Could not attach to process. If your uid matches the uid of the target
process, check the setting of /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope, or try
again as the root user. For more details, see /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf

The crash is a Debian/Ubuntu problem, I recommend to apply the fix given in mailing list. After the fix an error message should be shown instead of crashing.

I'm right that you've installed the deb package? This package is old and will not be supported (I cannot provide fixes for this package), please install from the repository:

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/scidb/code/trunk scidb-code
cd scidb-code
./configure
make
sudo make install

I uninstall the DEB and follow your instructions with the svn install, after all the same problem and a new bug: when I try to save a game, try to change chessplayer name, the soft show me some alternatives in the bottom list, I cant doubleclicked it or choose it in any way.

after all the same problem

This means it is still crashing? Please install the debugger:

sudo apt-get install gdb

Now an error message should appear, and I need the content of this message.

the soft show me some alternatives in the bottom list, I cant doubleclicked it or choose it in any way.

Strange, nobody has reported yet this error. I will look for this tomorrow.

I have already installed it, only show:

mario@mario:~/Programas/scidb/scidb-code$ scidb-beta

[waffen]

or I need to launch the app with some special args?

[waffen]

Tired now :) I cant keep working the svn version.. same errors. So uninstal it and install again the DEB version, and this time I use a new DB... and its working again. So for now I can analyse my games...

I've fixed the problem with the bottom list in revision 1068.

About the crash: I will send you an email, I think it would help if you send me the affewcted database.
