As soon as I run the program "hugin", it displays the
main canvas then crashes. If "tip of the day" is enabled,
I can see the tip, but as soon as I close the info window
the program crashes. In both cases with "segmentation fault".
I suspect it has something to do with the libwxgtk library,
since I find the following message in /var/log/messages:

.... kernel: hugin[31242]: segfault at 1d8 ip

Would you mind checking whether you can still reproduce this with
2009.2.0+dfsg-2 (available in experimental)?

Yes, it does; I installed

  hugin_2009.2.0+dfsg-2_amd64.deb
  hugin-tools_2009.2.0+dfsg-2_amd64.deb
  hugin-data_2009.2.0+dfsg-2_all.deb
  libboost-thread1.40.0_1.40.0-2_amd64.deb

and observed the same behaviour
(segmentation fault). The most recent
release that does not seg-fault is

	0.7.0~svn3191+beta5-2

Does your testing include 0.7.0-2?

Could try to produce a backtrace?

Deleting .hugin as an experiment did not help.  Rather than crashing at
startup for me, with an empty config it crashes after closing the tip of
the day (which I have disabled in my config).

I actually found the problem.  I was running the fglrx driver without
the ATI proprietary libGL.  This does not work for all apps and after
installing fglrx-glx, the problem disappeared.

Hello,

Andreas Bombe has experienced a similar problem and found this to be
the cause:

Can this be related your crash, too?

This bug is caused by m_parent in wxWindowGTK::DoSetSize being null.

See the backtrace; I can provide the coredump upon request.

Hello,

could you provide some info on the system, especially regarding OpenGL
drivers? It boggles my mind that I do not see any sign of this bug
here, either on i386 or in the amd64 chroot. (Using Intel G33, i.e.
libgl1-mesa-glx, libgl1-mesa-dri)

$ dpkg -l *glx*
ii  libgl1-mesa-glx 7.6-1...

but that's all just a red herring.

Most likely you're not using a tiling window manager, so
panoramaChanged doesn't get called at the same point. [This particular
segfault has nothing to do with openGL.] The reason it segfaults is
pretty simple; m_parent is NULL, and DoSetSize in libwx dereferences
the null pointer. It's most likely a bug in hugin somewhere that
results in m_parent being NULL.

Here's a fun data point: If I run X in 16bpp mode, Hugin segfaults in
DoSetSize() just after the “align” step, every time (tried 5/5). If I run X
in 24bpp mode, however, everything is fine.

FWIW, I'm using bog-standard GNOME and Metacity, i945 with KMS. No tiling WM,
no non-free drivers.

Hello,

it still does not crash for me with

startx -- -depth 16

Did you do something else to get 16bpp mode? This is on lenny, though.

Hello,

I am sending this mail to the various people who were hit by this bug:

Could you you please check whether it is still reproducable in
2010.4.0+dfsg~beta1 [1]? If this is the case, does moving away
~/.hugin solve the issue?

thanks in advance, cu andreas

Available in experimental, backports for lenny (which require some
stuff from backports.org) are available on my personal site on

I am experiencing this behaviour on a fresh install of sid.
  I am running it from a headless machine (i386) over ssh.
