Hi all!
Maybe this issue has already been treated before, but I have just
re-subscribed to the list after a long time. The problem is as
follows:
-I've upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to 11.04 (Natty).
I used Debian software here and have encountered upgrade issues over
the years so much so that when I do jump major version levels that I
usually reinstall if I need a system in a known good state.
-My GNUBG is installed through Ubuntu's repositories (version
0.90+20091206-4build1 as available in Synaptic) and used to work
in 10.04.
As Russ pointed out the GNUBG in the repository is old 1.5 years. I
could tell you how to build it on Ubuntu if you are so inclined.
It's reasonable easy to do even if you aren't a programmer.
-Now, always when trying to run it (typing gnubg
-w in shell), it crashes with the following message:
*** buffer overflow detected
***: gnubg terminated
Not good. make sure you have the gnubg-data package installed as
well (It should be in Synaptic). One other possibility is that
somehow a setting in your gnubg config file is screwing things up.
To see if this is the case I recommend this:
- Close down all copies of GNUBG.
- In your home directory there is a subdirectory called .gnubg and
a file in there called gnubgautorc . I recommend renaming that file
to something else like gnubgautorc.bak .
- Try relaunching GNUBG. Do a save settings.
This procedure will force GNUBG into using all defaults. if that
works then I recommend just setting up your GNUBG with new settings.
If you want to go back to the old settings just copy the backup file
back to gnubgautorc .
