Hi, could you have a look at http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports please, install the debug packages for gwenview and send us a new backtrace? Thanks. Created attachment 76550 [details]
Output from crash after installing debugging package.
I reran the failing process after installing the debug package. After the failure the crash process generated the crash report. I tried to attach the report to the bug report but I was unable to do so.
That looks like a probem of the exiv2 library. Also ,the new attachment doesn't contain debug symbol for libgwenviewlib.so.4, eithe. But probably that is not important if exiv2 is the problem. Indeed. I totally overlooked the assertion failure. So it looks like this exiv2 bug which has been fixed in exiv2-0.23: http://dev.exiv2.org/boards/3/topics/1116 Fedora 17 still seems to be using 0.22. I'm closing this as RESOLVED UPSTREAM, please reopen if this is still an issue with exiv2-0.23. So how do I get exiv2-0.23? It is not available with yumex. Do I have to wait until someone creates the package for Fedora 17? Who would do that? (In reply to comment #5) > So how do I get exiv2-0.23? It is not available with yumex. Do I have to > wait until someone creates the package for Fedora 17? Who would do that? That kind of distro specific question will be better answered in its specific support channels (forum, mailing list, irc). *** Bug 314489 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I had the same problem in Kubuntu 11.10, unable to rotate and save photos. First I updated system to Kubuntu 12.04 LTS, problem remained. Fix: Downloaded latest version of exiv2 from http://www.exiv2.org/ configure, make and make install . moved libraries (libexiv2*) from usr/local/lib to usr/lib. removed link pointing to libexiv2.so.11 and made a new link sudo ln -s libexiv2.so.12 libexiv2.so.11 removed all other libexiv2.so.11 files. rotate and save now working in gwenview. Locations may be different in Fedora. go find where libexiv2 is installed from you repro. then just move the new libraries from usr/local/lib and create a new link. Hope this helps you all. |
