Tomboy.exe crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall()

StacktraceTop:__kernel_vsyscall ()

is this still an issue after latest updates? may you run tomboy from the command line as : tomboy --debug &> tomboy.txt and later on attach that file to the report? thanks in advance.

Still an issue.

I ran tomboy --debug &> tomboy.txt and tomboy.txt quickly filled up (after a few minutes it was over 20MB). Only the first 15 lines contained unique information; The last line here was repeated throughout the whole file.

Hope this helps.

Following a hint from another bug report:

I removed the .tomboy/addin-db-001 and tomboy seems to be behaving now.

This bug is known upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556177

Did you happen to backup your ~/.tomboy/addin-db-001 before you removed it? If you did, please zip it up and attach it here.

Thanks!

Apologies Greg, but I did not keep a copy.

The upstream reporter did keep theirs, so not all is lost. It just would have been an additional set of information. If you want, you can watch the status of the bug upstream to see if there is anything else you can add.

Thanks again!

I had a similar problem with Tomboy. First Tomboy couldn't load as an applet, so I launched it with Alt+F2. Next, it ceased working at all, producing this output:

Here's my zipped addin-db-001 folder (hope it doesn't reveal any personal data).
As I removed the addin-db-001 folder, Tomboy fully recovered, and even all of my notes are there. Yet, it is not found in the applets menu, so can not be added to the Gnome panel (maybe that's because I reinstalled Tomboy a couple of times and then installed it from source in attempt to get it working).

Forgot to mention I'm using fresh install of Ubuntu Jaunty on Intel x64 dual-core processor. One thing I can think of as triggering this bug is synchronization with notes which I saved on my previous installation of Ubuntu (Hardy). However, this did work, problems started later.

I should mention that this bug was fixed for most users in Tomboy 0.14.2.

bug is resolved in gnome bugzilla
