[SOLVED] transmission-daemon segfaulting, trapped, and others

Hey guys,
Originally I was having the same problem with Rtorrent when I hit about 4000 torrents. Now I'm slightly above 6000 torrents with Transmission, and it has recently started crashing with messages like these in the syslog:
[1556037.507253] traps: transmission-da[2855] general protection ip:457c12 sp:7fc301ad7b00 error:0 in transmission-daemon[400000+75000]
[1784992.236136] transmission-da[2884]: segfault at 4377000043e4 ip 0000000000457c12 sp 00007f07c5134b00 error 4 in transmission-daemon[400000+75000]
[2030052.408358] traps: transmission-da[13344] general protection ip:457c12 sp:7fab58b66b00 error:0 in transmission-daemon[400000+75000]
and these are the 3 just from this boot. I have a theory it only starts to happen after the system has been running for a few days, but I've just rebooted it to see if crashes in the same fashion.
Regardless, since this also happened with rtorrent at fewer torrents, I'm thinking I could be experiencing memory corruption. Is there a reliable way to check for this, without putting down the system for too long? I have a webserver serving 2 sites, which I'd prefer didn't stay offline for too long - but if there are no alternatives, then so be it.
Thanks,
gonX

Solved, it was a RAM issue. Replaced all the sticks and now it has been running for weeks without a crash.

  • [SOLVED] How to use timidity++ and other programs at the same time?

    I have installed timidity following arch wiki instructions - I have soundfont, and I start it in /etc/rc.conf
    It works properly with tuxguitar (and tuxguitar-alsa) or kmid, but I cannot play MIDI and - for example - oggs in amarok at the same time.
    I suspect that the problem is that timidity doesn't use dmix alsa plugin I have made in my ~/.asoundrc.
    The question is: how to tell timidity to use my dmix plugin?

    but they don't define "default" there, but "!default"...
    anyway, I have already both "default" and "!default" defined exactly the same way:
    pcm.!default
    type plug

  • After updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google,yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. How can solve this problem?

    after updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google(web ,image,video,map etc),yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. even I cant log out from different sites cz the log out bar is completely disabled. I tried with Firefox 4;5 and 6, same problem exist . I tried by active all add ons for facebook, same problem exist. If I use internet explorer , I don't find such problem with it.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac".  I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

  • [SOLVED] LXDM and Other Catastrophe's

    Compared to the arch-fu practitioners here I'm a total noob so bear with me . And sorry if this has been solved before, I searched but found nothing.
    My second attempt at installing Arch was going kind-of smoothly until I got to configuring LXDM. No matter what I do it keeps logging into the default X session (twm) rather than my wm's (openbox/scrotwm). I tried fiddling with lxdm.conf and /etc/lxdm/Xsession only to break it completely (login loop). I also tried this to no avail. I even tried symlinking~/.Xsession to /etc/lxdm/Xsession, which made no difference. So I'm assuming I have to modify /etc/lxdm/Xsession in some way?
    All this messing about (4 days and counting) and other niggling configs I've borked (shutdown and reboot break with ata2 errors, acpid to blame?) has got me considering ArchBang (Blasphemy!) and modding from there. But then I saw how many gnome bits it has, I don't want to load the entire gnome library for no good reason and I assume removing all of it would be a pain?

    "$1" is a special variable, known as Positional parameters, they are basically the commandline parameters.
    For example:
    myscript some option another_option
    <--$0--> <$1> <-$2-> <-----$3----->
    <---------------$*---------------->
    <---------------$#----------------> # Number of Arguments, in this case $# = 3 (doesn't include $0)
    More info on bash/shell scripting can be found on Greg's wiki
    In the mean time...
    So I downloaded LXDM and I'm at a loss. I have no idea where it's finding the various window managers (including non-existent ones, and in some cases not at all). The only file which exists on my system sourced within /etc/lxdm/Xsessions is "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc", which, even though it's the same as the skeleton file, doesn't merge my X[defaults|resources]. Yet it seems to use some commands from my ~/.xinitrc such as feh background setting.
    Documentation is... sparse (.dmrc?)
    Edit:
    Giving up, hopefully someone with more experience/knowledge can help. Sorry
    Edit2:
    Right. It seems that the list of WMs/DEs is actually built from .desktop entires under /usr/share/xsessions/. (I know you mentioned this already)
    So if you want to add i3, simply drop an i3.desktop file containing something like:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=i3
    Exec=i3
    Checking the source indicates that LXDM seems to only look for the "Name", "Exec" and "Desktop Entry".
    Edit3:
    Okay, reinstalled LXDM and tested this theory. Made a bogus.desktop file under /usr/share/xsessions and used the following contents:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=Bogus
    Exec=wmii
    Logged out, started LXDM and sure enough, I had a new entry named "Bogus" which launched wmii. I didn't alter any config files at all. (brand new install)
    PS: Bedtime!

    Your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.7.2
    If that is correct, updating your system software may help.
    Click Software Update from the Apple menu.
    Restart your Mac after updates are installed then try the App Store.
    If you can't update that way, there's a workaround.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
    Then restart your Mac and try the App Store.

  • App Store, Pages 5.0, Evernote, and other Apps will not fully function after installing Mavericks. What is the issue and how can this be solved?

    Hello all, I could use some serious help on some major issues I have been having after installing Mavericks on my system (specs stated below). Never has a mac felt ever so rebelious and broken before in my lifelong period of using these systems. Anyway, after installing system 10.9, I had opened the mac App Store upon seeing that applications such as my iWork suite all had free updates. However, when I would attempt to navigate to the updates window, it would not respond to my various attempts. I then tried to get there by the system's menu bar and to my dismay, nothing would work when I clicked on it, not even the apple logo menu. I later quit the application using Command-Q and opened up the App Store by the apple menu option 'Software Update...' instead. Though it looked promising since the updates window did open, all update buttons or even '...more' info buttons were unresponsive.  These same problems persisted even after restarting my computer. I had also attempted to see if repairing definitions would help by booting from the recovery start-disk and using disk utility but the repairs it carried out apparently had nothing to do with my issue. Finally, I was able to update to the new iWorks suite (which interestingly did not replace the iWorks '09 suite) by following the notification that asked about allowing automatic updates which I did.
    Once trying to use Pages 5.0, I soon noticed that all I could do was merely type in a new document and change various options via key commands. Neither the inspector or top bar menus would respond to any place I click. Similarly, Evernote only starts up on the last used note and merely allows me to scroll through it. The top bar menus, the note select pane, and even clicking inside the note to input text are all not functioning and uninfluenced by any mouse clicks.
    I have noticed other apps that will not respond to any sort of input, but I still have not explored all applications to know what the issues of each may be. However there are some applications that work such as Safari, Google Chrome, dolphin, iWork '09 including Pages '09, and others.
    I do hope that I can avoid rolling back my system, but in the meantime, it has been quite the obticle course to use my computer for all of my school purposes.
    Any help is very much appreciated,
    Thank you!

    I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

  • Safari and other aplications super slow after update to Snow Leopard. Installed the update combo and nothing happened, still super super slow. Any tips to solve this?

    After updating to Snow Leopard (to install Lion later), Safari and other aplications became super super slow and Preview is not working properly, I can't print anything that was opened with Preview. Already installed the Combo update, nothing happened, Safari still taking hours to load any site. I honestly regret downloading Snow Leopard, the older version worked so much better... Hope Lion is smarter than Snow Leopard...

    Hi instrumento, 
    There are two locations I am aware of in LabVIEW.ini that may be what you are looking for.  The neverShowLicensingStartupDialog token can be marked as true, at which point the batch licensing startup dialog will never be shown.  Additionally, the neverShowAddonLicensingStartup token controls the add-on licensing startup dialog.  When it is marked as true, the dialog will not be shown regardless of the state of any third party add-on licenses. 
    I would try changing the neverShowLicensingStartupDialog first, since your problem is with the Vision Development Module.  The token for addons may be useful if you experience this problem in the future with any third-party addons to LabVIEW.

    if i use transmission-cli.will it continue download my file from tranmission-gtk?
    If you start tranmission-daemon like this:
    transmission-daemon -g /home/<your_username>/.config/transmission
    it will inherit your current settings, including any current downloads.
    EDIT: It seems the bug you're encountering has been fixed for version 2.5 ([extra] version is 2.42).

  • [SOLVED] apache daemon fails to start on boot, but rc.d restart works?

    I installed apache from the official repos and followed the instructions in the wiki for configuring it. I checked to make sure the http user exists, and I /etc/hosts looks good (to me). Upon boot, the daemon fails to start and I can't load local web pages, but running "rc.d restart httpd" works just fine. Since I'd rather not start it manually every time I boot, is there a way to fix this? Also, httpd is the last daemon in my DAEMONS array.

    Per the wiki, I also tried commenting out the line that reads

    Either way, it still fails on boot.

    The SIGTERM are from reboots, yes. I'm not absolutely sure that the process isn't running; I just know that I can't access http://localhost immediately upon reboot. I have to restart the httpd daemon, which works fine. How would I be able to tell if it's just hung?
    I checked everything.log, and I don't see anything that leaps off the page to me.

    All I notice is that my system's time is having a few problems, since you'll notice that events occur at 22:00 and change, then 17:00 and change, then back to 22:00 and change afterwards. Could this be the problem? I've had the CMOS batteries peg out on me suddenly in the last few weeks. I would hope this sytem is not also suffering a similar fate. Nothing else was happening on my system except for the standard processes from /etc/rc.conf and other standard ones, since I've just been rebooting, checking the logs, then posting here.

  • Drop Down Deals, MacKeeper and other popups have taken over Safari v 8.0; I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Help!

    Drop Down Deals, MacKeeper and other popups have taken over Safari v 8.0; I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Help!
    Whenever I click on a link or open a page these popups show up.
    I've tried the following:
    Cleared website history and data, and gone to Safari > Preferences > Privacy > and removed all website data.
    then restarted my computer
    In Finder, holding down Option and clicking on Go to find the hidden Library file:
    deleted/moved to trash the following files:
    caches
    internet plugins
    launch agents
    any plist files in safari folder
    Then, restarted my macbook pro and then emptied the trash
    I've Safari > Preferences > Security > blocked pop up windows
    What should I try next?
    PLEASE HELP ME!!
    Thank you,

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
    There may also be a file named
               com.something.helper.plist
    in the same folder.
    If you find files with names that fit the above description, post what you have for "something."

  • How to block MacKeeper and other browser ads

    how to
    block MacKeeper and other browser ads

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
    If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the string something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.
