I have the same problem in Kubuntu 11.10 64bit

confirmed in fresh oneiric 64 and 32 bit installs.

Same problem : Segmentation fault (core dumped) on Kubuntu 11.10 beta AMD64.

I also get a crash. Tried to build it from source, and this is what happened. Oneiric 32-bit, all packages up-to-date to this day.

This bug report from Redhat seems to have more about it. I tried this solution in the source and works.

For a quick fix: I have downloaded the Fedora RPM from here:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/16/i386/os/Packages/krename-4.0.7-2.fc16.i686.rpm
and converted it to DEB with alien. Seems to work fine. Please find it attached in case you want it.

Thanks so much, Vlad. That works great!

fixed package uploaded to revu:

To Vlad Lungeanu: yes it works. Thanks!

I just downgraded to natty's version.

Hi, Does anyone know if there is an easy way to use apt-get to downgrade Krename? I had the same crash as in this bug report. I removed the package that crashes but I can not seem to locate a good name to get an older version with apt-get.

Q: Hi, Does anyone know if there is an easy way to use apt-get to downgrade Krename?

A:
1. Remove the current package
2. Download an older package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=krename&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
3. Install an oder package (QApt).
4. Pin/ lock the package version: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3117254.0

I'm using a patched version (fix_crash_on_static_initialization.diff). It seems to work. It is available from the PPA: https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ppa

Also affects Precise 12.04

Segfault on startup krename 4.0.7-1 downloaded from Software center today. Ubuntu 11.10

When will this get pushed out as an update? The existing version is useless, and the fix is known. Change 1 line of code.

I got in touch with the author of KRename yesterday, and he fixed this specific bug, along with a bunch of other potential re-occurrences of this bug in KRename release 4.0.8 (which was just released this morning)

http://www.krename.net/Stable.6.0.html

The hack fixes recommended here can be skipped entirely, if someone can package up 4.0.8 properly for ubuntu.

Fixed in 4.0.9-1 upload.

This bug was fixed in the package krename - 4.0.9-1

---------------
krename (4.0.9-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - fix segfauls on startup. (Closes: #653892)
    - fix crash with SIGSEGV in __libc_csu_init(). (LP: #849882, #903593)

krename (4.0.7-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add find_libpodofo.patch to build with podofo support. (LP: #889425)

krename - 4.0.9-1 available only for precise, can we backport it to oneric?

4.0.9-1 does not satisfy dependencies oneric.
My solution to the problem:
1. download http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/16/Everything/i386/os/Packages/krename-4.0.7-2.fc16.i686.rpm
2. sudo alien --scripts krename-4.0.7-2.fc16.i686.rpm

The download.fedora.redhat.com link is dead (at least right now).
Here is the main page from rpm.pbone.net to get links to mirrors:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/17647451/dir/fedora_16/com/krename-4.0.9-1.fc16.i686.rpm.html

1- download
2- alien: converts the rpm to deb: sudo alien --scripts krename-4.0.9-1.fc16.i686.rpm
3- install the deb: sudo dpkg -i krename_4.0.9-2_i386.deb

Thanks for the tip Vlad

I don't know whye there are still (so long) no official update for oneiric. If you want working version now you can just use this unofficial DEB: https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ppa/+files/krename_4.0.9%7Eoneiric%7Eppa1_i386.deb (for other architectures check https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ppa/+packages

Thanks Pastor, it works ok. :-)

Thanks Pastor. Worked for me as well (ubuntu Oneiric 64-bit)
Which step is missing to promote the working deb under to the normal repository for ubuntu Oneiric?

Backport to Oneiric requested:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959103

Package uploaded to oneiric-proposed, in queue for a SRU.

Hello Paul, or anyone else affected,

Accepted krename into oneiric-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

TEST CASE:
1. install krename 4.0.7-1ubuntu1 from oneiric -proposed
2. start krename
3. verify that it starts without SEGV

VERIFICATION DONE:
- krename starts cleanly

confirming that krename 4.0.7-1ubuntu1 is starting without error.

As the originator of this bug report I can say that I have removed 4.0.7-2 installed as per comment #24 and installed 4.0.7-1ubuntu1. krename now starts, thank you.

This bug was fixed in the package krename - 4.0.7-1ubuntu1

krename (4.0.7-1ubuntu1) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low
