Bug #7065	Ran Once, Crashed, wont run again at all, segmentation fault at startup
Submitted:	7 Dec 2004 9:20	Modified:	8 Dec 2004 7:04
Reporter:	P RM	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Administrator	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	1.0.16-1 rh9 i386 rpm	OS:	Linux (Linux Fedora Core 3)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Hello, Im new to all of this, please bear with me.

I downloaded/installed Fedora Core 3 on 12/5/04 WITHOUT MySQL distribution thats packaged with it, and have FC3 updated up until today 12/7/04. I installed the following RPMs in this order:
-MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.7-0
-MySQL-devel-5.0.2-0
-MySQL-server-4.1.7-0
-MySQL-bench-4.1.7-0
-MySQL-client-4.1.7-0

*Now, I tried to install mysql-administrator at this point, but fedora 3 complained about depencies, so I did my best to try to understand what was missing, and searched the net to try to find the appropriate RPMS to solve the dependency problems. I concluded that I had to install the following 2 rpms:
-libsigc++-1.2.5-3.1.fc3.rf
-gtkmm2-2.2.12-1.1.fc3.rf

Then, I installed the following RPM without any problems
-mysql-administrator-1.0.16-1.rh9

The first time I did this, and ran mysql-administrator, the program worked fine, but then crashed when I was configuring the initial connecton settings. From then on, I havent been able to run it AT ALL, keep getting the same "... line 9 Segmentation fault ..." error. Ive uninstalled/installed the following:
-libsigc++-1.2.5-3.1.fc3.rf
-gtkmm2-2.2.12-1.1.fc3.rf
-mysql-administrator-1.0.16-1.rh9

nothing is working. I cant get the GUI to start up at all. Is this a bug or what? please help. I just want to use mysql-administrator on this Fedora Core 3 server ASAP!!!!

How to repeat:
Restatement of above:
1)Install Fedora core 3, without MySQL server
2)run up2date, and install all updates
3)download/install the following RPMS:
-MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.7-0
-MySQL-devel-5.0.2-0
-MySQL-server-4.1.7-0
-MySQL-bench-4.1.7-0
-MySQL-client-4.1.7-0
4)Try to install mysql-administrator-1.0.16 and see if there are dependency problems
if there are (as there were for me...), install these RPMS
-libsigc++-1.2.5-3.1.fc3.rf
-gtkmm2-2.2.12-1.1.fc3.rf
5)install mysql-administrator-1.0.16-1.rh9.i386.rpm and attempt to run mysql-administrator

Suggested fix:
I dont have a clue

I downloaded version 1.0.16-linux-tar.gz installed it without problemes. Whe starting it I get the following message:
./mysql-administrator-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

With the previous version 1.0.14 all worked fine.

I am using Fedora Core 3 updated weekly.

I am getting the same message for mysql-query-browser version 1.1.2

I hope this can help to solve this bug.

Please send me your ~/.mysqlgui/mysqlx_user_connections.xml file. To be able to run the program again, remove that file.

Pedro:
Please wait for the 1.0.17 release, the problem you describe will be fixed in it.

update:

The problems I was encountering happened when I was logged in as root.

 I tried it logging on as a different user, and I actually managed to get the gui working, and was able to connect to the database, but once I started messing with user settings tab in mysql-administrator gui, the program would crash randomly: sometimes it would stay open and work somewhat fine for a while, at other times it would crash instantly.

I tried to log back in as root and run the program again, but I would get the same "segmentation fault" errors, and could not get the GUI to work, as I initially stated.
