Hi,
Yesterday I upgraded my ubuntu 12.04 (LTS "Precise") system through the package manager. Before the upgrade transmission-gtk was working fine. After the upgrade, it crashed with a segfault:
[ 70.276180] transmission-gt[2164]: segfault at 9373e04 ip b6ac19de sp b3dfede0 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[b6a4a000+1a3000]
I then did the following to get the most up-to-date transmission:
'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'
This gave me: transmission-gtk 2.72 (13582)
I then reran transmission, but it again did a segfault:
[ 861.674329] transmission-gt[3364]: segfault at 9ec2acc ip b6ade9de sp b3dfede0 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[b6a67000+1a3000]
on investigating a bit more, it seems to be a malloc() problem while trying to open a file.
any ideas?
cheers
