Linux: CAESES crashes when trying to generate PDFs, taking screenshots or adding files to the SoftwareConnector

Recommended Posts

Hi,

on some Linux distributions it might happen that CAESES/FFW will crash when opening FileDialogs in certain cases (taking screenshots, creating PDFs, and adding files to the SoftwareConnector).

It was reported when using the local storage for the CAESES/FFW. Maybe moving the application directory onto a network share could help. If it does not, the following solution may work:

 

edit as root : /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/default-modules.conf
and comment out the line "file:file"


To verify that this solution will work for your problem, please detect the problem! :-)


- open a Terminal
- navigate to the location of the application launcher
- start the application:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/CAESES/lib/Linux.x86_64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_DEBUG=files /opt/CAESES/bin/Linux.x86_64/CAESES 2>&1 | tail -50

(please replace /opt/CAESES with your installation path)


if you find an output like:

 

calling init: /usr/lib64/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libfile.so

opening file=/usr/lib64/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libfile.so [0]; direct_opencount=1

/usr/lib64/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libfile.so: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: g_module_check_init (fatal)
/usr/lib64/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libfile.so: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: g_module_unload (fatal)
/usr/lib64/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libfile.so: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: vfs_module_transform (fatal)

the suggested fix will work.


I hope that will help you!


Regards
Konrad

If you still have problems, try to start CAESES with this additional argument:

 

 

 

- open a Terminal
- navigate to the location of the application launcher
- start the application:

./CAESES -style plastique
