Segmentation error

[ik8vrq]

Hi, my name is Angelo and I'm using Linux Mint 21.2, Xfce 4.18, i5-2520M (4) @ 3.200GHz. 4Gb Ram

When I start impressive I have the following error:

angelo@T420:~/test$ impressive ./* Welcome to Impressive version 0.13.0-beta2 (SVN r298) pygame 2.1.2 (SDL 2.0.20, Python 3.10.12) Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html Detected screen size: 1366x768 pixels PDF renderer: MuPDF 1.4 or newer Errore di segmentazione (core dump creato)

Xrand output is as follow:

Any advice? Many thank for your support.

Hi Angelo,

you could try

• a different computer with a different graphics card
• or try a newer or older version of pygame

to isolate the cause.

If you have a look at the source code, it is pure python. So unfortunately I can not help with segmentation fault debugging - it must be in some of the underlying libraries or drivers. But you can post your findings here, so at least the known problems are documented

Hi,

the problem was fixed. Instead of install impressive from Linux Mint repository , I installed all dipendencies and installed the application as indicated into documentation. So the steps are:

a) sudo apt install python3-pygame python3-pil pdftk mupdf-tools xdg-utils mplayer ffmpeg

b) download impressive code (... tar.gz) and extract it. Move in this folder (mine is Impressive-0.13.2) and then:

c) sudo install -m 755 impressive /usr/local/bin/

Perhaps this can help someone. Kind regards and happy 2024.

Angelo
