 Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2007 12:38 am Post subject: wvdial: segmentation fault |
 |
|
I have used a wvdial script to connect to the Internet via an UMTS modem.
My setup worked very well for almost 2 years, but since yesterday I can't connect, getting a segmentation fault once I run wvdial. I don't know why.
I use a vodafone UMTS card in an Acer TravelMate 4062 and have no obvious hardware issues. I can tell the card works because I'm sending this message from another laptop.
My software versions are wvdial 1.60 and ppp 2.4.4.
My kernel is 2.6.22-r2 with suspend2 patches, CONFIG_PPP=m, CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK=y, CONFIG_PPP_FILTER=y, CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=m, CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=m, CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=m, CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=m, CONFIG_PPP_MPPE=m, CONFIG_PPPOE=m and CONFIG_PPP_OATM=m.
Basically, I see the ttyUSB(0-2) devices, I can connect (via minicom) but I believe either wvdial or pppd are running into a segmentation fault.
Here are the details: ignore them if the above is enough.
$ cat /etc/wvdial.conf

Don't really know how I would run pppd manually, but pppd call wvdial doesn't generate a segmentation fault.
Obviously, hints are very welcome.

The net-dialup/wvdial package was only bumped to 1.60 in Aug 2007, so you must have originally installed with an older version. When did you emerge =net-dialup/wvdial-1.60? Have you changed any other packages recently?
Please read How to get meaningful backtraces in Gentoo and obtain a backtrace from the core dump when wvdial crashes. That backtrace may let us identify what is causing it to crash, after which a fix can be determined. |

Hi all,
I'm seeing this problem too.
After recompiling wvdial and wvstreams with debug info (no -fomit-frame-pointer, with -ggdb and nostrip), this is the backtrace I got:
| Code: | eddie@eddies-lappy ~ $ gdb --args wvdial --config ~/.wvdial.conf

Doesn't seem to be the most useful or meaningful backtrace in the world to me, but hopefully it'll mean something to somebody!
As an alternative solution, there are many guides out there which teach you how to use PPP to initiate the connection, one of which I found was: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Access_the_internet_with_your_cellphone_and_bluetooth_(UMTS/GPRS)
I'm successfully using PPP to connect, so the problem definitely lies with wvdial.
It can be seen segfaulting in /var/log/messages:
| Code: | Dec 22 18:04:32 eddies-lappy NetworkManager: <debug> [1198346672.845787] nm_hal_device_added(): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_a5c_201e_noserial_if0_bluetooth_hci_bluetooth_hci').

.. even when running by itself, or from being run from inside gnome-ppp.
EDIT: I can also confirm that this did, at one point in the past, work just fine. It may have something to do with the bluez packages being updated.. I'll try and confirm that.
EDIT2: Just re-emerged bluez-libs and bluez-utils v3.22, and still segfaulting. And for the record, I'm using the latest vanilla kernel: 2.6.24-rc6.

I too can connect (using kppp), so it does seem to be a wvdial (or underlying library) issue...from the backtrace, it seems wvstreams (wvtask.cc) or glibc (libc.so.6) related.
Gonna try reemerging glibc and wvstriams and see where that leaves me...

Reemerged wvstreams and glibc, no effect.

Wvdial segmentation fault is a wvstreams problem, then it build this valgrind support at new glibc and gcc.
For problem solution need cut valgrind support from autotools scripts.
