158130	2003-07-07 23:27:00	Ive got GAIM and KGet, mainly GAIM crashing on me... No error's or anything, just they disappear form the systray and notification area and that's it, gone.. Gaim is the latest, and KGet is the version that came with RH9. Ive updated libgtkspell which is the other dependancy for GAIM 0.64, so Im downloading the source for it now. Any ideas what might be causing the apps to simply disappear? Is there a log I should/could check? Cheers Chill.	Chilling_Silently (228)
158131	2003-07-08 04:52:00	As always: tail -20 /var/log/messages. Or before you start the problem applications, open a terminal and tail -f /var/log/messages.	Graham L (2)
158132	2003-07-08 06:43:00	Try running them from a terminal window. It should print something there when it dies. Usually "segmentation fault".	bmason (508)

It is possible that this bug is already fixed in CVS. You can get a tarball of CVS from the Gaim website, at gaim.sourceforge.net If you are already using CVS, or can reproduce the crash using the CVS version, please notify the gaim maintainers by reporting a bug at gaim.sourceforge.net Please make sure to specify what you were doing at the time, and post the backtrace from the core file. If you do not know how to get the backtrace, please get instructions at gaim.sourceforge.net If you need further assistance, please IM either RobFlynn or SeanEgn and they can help you. Aborted It was run from a konsole and that's all I get :-)	Chilling_Silently (228)

Im at: . net/tracker/?group_id=235" target="_blank">sourceforge . net and click on Bugs . . then what? The errors up top only occured after I enabled the Notification Plugin . . . Cant remember which part of it though? Where to from here? Cheers Chill .	Chilling_Silently (228)
158135	2003-07-08 13:15:00	Okay.. Im submitting the bug.. I guess I cant do anything but wait :-) Perhaps its not GAIM at fault though if KGet crashed similarly.. I'll have to run that from a konsole also next time I need to download :-) It could have been a fluke crash for KGet mind you.. ;-) Cheers!	Chilling_Silently (228)
158136	2003-07-09 11:40:00	Have you been installing any updates lately (esp. any third party stuff)? If its affecting multiple apps then it could be because you've replaced a shared libary with an incompatable version.	bmason (508)
158137	2003-07-09 23:00:00	Ive been screwing round with WineX (2 and 3), but nothing else... not that I can think of at least?!	Chilling_Silently (228)
