Thanks for opening up the ticket. This sounds a lot like https://sourceforge.net/p/xowa/discussion/defects/thread/360dc6e0/. However, it was reproducible on v2.4.2 by two other independent users. I'm sort of surprised that reverting back to this version removed the problem. There were a lot of changes between 2.5.4 and 2.5.2, but none affected the core download code.

As for the SEGFAULT, I don't have any other theories as it dies in XULRunner which is not in my direct control. At any rate, don't worry about any further testing: I will do some more investigation on my side. Unfortunately, I'm on vacation for a while, so I won't be able to do anything substantial until sometime in mid-June.

I'll post again here when I make more progress. Thanks again.

Apologies for the late reply, but I was on vacation.

I still can't reproduce this on my machines, though I haven't tried to install a different distro. However, if you get a chance, can you try the following?:

Download v24 of 64-bit XUL Runner: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/24.0b10/runtimes/xulrunner-24.0b10.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

Download the latest SWT: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.5RC4-201506032000/download.php?dropFile=swt-4.5RC4-gtk-linux-x86_64.zip

Replace the XULRunner at /xowa/bin/linux_64/xulrunner/

Replace the SWT jar at /xowa/bin/linux_64/swt/

Run XOWA with the following: export SWT_GTK3=0 && java -jar xowa_linux_64.jar

Try clicking on the link again

I'm hoping the new XULRunner might fix the issue. If not, I'm back again to trying to match your distro and try to reproduce the error on my side.

Thanks.

Thanks for the update. I really was hoping that XULRunner 24 would take care of the issue.

I'm going to try Mint 16 / Mint 17 on one of my machines sometime this week. I'll post again after my attempt.

I had some time tonight to look at this issue. I was actually able to reproduce it on one of my machines with v2.6.4.1 and the Live Disc for 64-bit Linux Mint 17.

I was able to fix it by using a later XULRunner. I made a new 64-bit build and uploaded it to my Google Drive account: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9cb52zjL2rIMVBhUGxxQXFhUVE/view?usp=sharing

Can you try it and let me know if it resolves the issue?

More details on my steps below.

Thanks.

[NOTE: These steps are automatically included in the new v2.6.4.2 64-bit build above. You don't have to follow these steps; all you have to do is unpack the new v2.6.4.2 build. I'm only detailing them for sake of documentation.]

Setup

Downloaded SWT 4.5 from here: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.5-201506032000/download.php?dropFile=swt-4.5-gtk-linux-x86_64.zip

Downloaded XULRunner 24 from here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/24.0b10/runtimes/xulrunner-24.0b10.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

Replaced the respective versions in /xowa/bin/linux_64

Ran XOWA with export SWT_GTK3=0 && java -jar xowa_linux_64.jar .

Testing

Went to Help:Import/List

Downloaded simple.wikibooks.org

Went back to the XOWA Main page

Downloaded simple.wikipedia.org

Cool! Thanks for the confirmation! Glad to hear that it worked.

This will be a part of v2.6.5.1. I'm going to wait to see if anyone else confirms the fix. If not, I'll close this ticket in about two or so weeks.

This should no longer be an issue in XOWA v2.6.5+
