Re: [suse-security-announce] SUSE Security Announcement: opera various problems (SUSE-SA:2005:034)
Hi, just like all version of 8.01 that I can download from Operas ftp server, the SuSE packages segfault on my SuSE 9.0. Other people seem to have the same problem with SuSE 9.0, look here: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=de&lr=&threadm=20050622193542.6e210a55.localhost%40localdomain.local Anyone running 8.01 successfully on SuSE 9.0? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

Both 8.0 and 8.01 faulted for me too. This is however something SUSE cannot fix, since we rely on the upstream binaries from Opera. We reported this to Opera too already, but no feedback yet. Ciao, Marcus

Hmm, 8.0 worked fine here! Just 8.01 segfaulted.

Sure, I understand that... was just wondering if you had found a magic fix :-)

Let's hope your report has a little more effect than the user reports which seem to be ignored currently... Thanks! cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

I forward a messages from the opera linux newsgroup about this problem. SuSE 9.0 also has two versions of libc.so.6 and switching to the other one makes Opera 8.01 run fine: curry /root/tmp# ldconfig -p | grep libc.so libc.so.6 (libc6, hwcap: 0x8000000000000, OS ABI: Linux 2.4.1) => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.2.5) => /lib/libc.so.6 By setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to 2.2.5 before calling Opera 8.01, it will run fine instead of segfaulting. However, I've no idea what I'm really doing when setting this variable to this value :-) cu, Frank Robt. W. Fletcher Jr wrote

As you can see I have two (2) versions of glibc -- one with linuxthreads and the other with Native POSIX Threads (nptl).

I suspect the above is the seg-fault that Gentoo users (who didn't compile glibc with nptl) were seeing when they tried to run 8.01f. The issue remains in 8.02tp1 -- even though Gentoo users started complaining on the 16th of June. Sigh!
Now I realize this might be a glibc issue, but why does Opera 8.01b work yet Opera 8.01f doesn't?
8.01f and 8.02tp1 both work when the /lib/tls (nptl) glibc version is used -- i.e unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL.

Since Opera is using a wrapper script for starting, we currently try to work out a solution using this hack. (It switches libc to i386 / non-tls mode.) Ciao, Marcus
