~kennylevinsen/greetd#18: 
greetd segfaults [tuigreet keeps showing 'Please Wait...']

Hello,

I installed greetd and tuigreet on Calculate/Gentoo and sometimes it works (starts sway) and sometimes it doesn't. tuigreet keeps showing 'Please Wait....' and in dmesg I can see: greetd[11550]: segfault at 7ffcba2bacb8 ip 00007fc93d9f9a07 sp 00007ffcba2bacb0 error 6 in libc-2.32.so[7fc93d9b5000+149000] Leaving tuigreet out of the equation and just using the default agetty shows a similar result.

Entering a wrong password also has the same effect.

I tried both versions in the Calculate/Gentoo repository (0.6.1 and 0.7.0) although with 0.6.1 it's slightly different, when entering a wrong pw there it return to a blank console screen with just a blinking cursor in the left corner. No message about the pw being wrong.

Regards,

Angelo Machils

Please share the following generated from a debug build of greetd (i.e. no --release flag to cargo build, or the --debug flag to cargo install):

  1. Stderr when running greetd with RUST_BACKTRACE=full set
  2. Stacktrace from the coredump

Hello,

Is this what you're looking for?

You're running greetd as non-root, which doesn't work.

Either run it as root or temporarily add the environment variable to your existing init scripts.

~angelus1969 3 years ago

Okay, and where to find the result afterwards?

~kennylevinsen 3 years ago

Redirect stderr whereever you'd like with "2>/tmp/greetd.log" if you are not already capturing stderr somewhere.

~angelus1969 3 years ago

There is only one entry: warning: PAM 'greetd' service missing, falling back to 'login' (and this is when greetd failed)

~kennylevinsen 3 years ago

In that case it sounds like it crashed in C code. You should have a coredump somewhere depending on system configuration (/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern).

With coredumpctl, do as root:

# coredumpctl debug greetd
(gdb) bt full

If you have a bare core file, do as root:

# gdb PATH_TO_GREETD_BINARY PATH_TO_CORE
(gdb) bt full

In both cases, share the full output, including the initial output when gdb opened the core.

~angelus1969 3 years ago

I have one file core_pattern in /proc/sys/kernel but the command gdb ..... and then bt full only gives me: 'no stack'.

~kennylevinsen 3 years ago

/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern is the file configuring what the kernel will do with core files. It is not a coredump itself.

You might want to go to #kennylevinsen on freenode.

There were several processes running with regards to greetd/tuigreet:

22008 greetd

22049 /usr/bin/greetd --session-worker 15

22072 /usr/bin/greetd --session-worker 14

22073 tuigreet --cmd sway

I've made a coredump of process 22008, I hope that's the correct one. See: https://pastebin.com/nDWbb4Hb

Angelo
