segmentation fault while using aria2

[wisetube]

hi all,

could you please help me with the following?

I've installed optware (http://b-rad.cc/binaries/opt.bin.tgz) and then aria2 (aria2_1.14.2). Then for any attempt to do anything with aria2c I get the error "segmentation fault". It's interesting that when I enable aria2 listening for RPC it continues running until any attempt to send a command to aria. It looks like the error occurs each time when aria tries to write something to disk. do you have any ideas how to fix that?

I would do appreciate any advice. Thanks,
Andriy.

Need more infos...

Which device are you talking about?
Which firmware is running on the device?
What does the config for aria2 look like?

Most likely the app tries to write somewhere to the filesystem except /tmp which won't work!
The whole filesystem on WDTV is read-only except for /tmp which is a ramdisk and mounted drives under /tmp/media/usb.

hi recliq, thanks for answering.

Spent some time to figure out the problem considering your input. But no success. I am struggling with WD TV live on 0.4.7.3.
to minimize a risk of writing to read only directories, I tried the following string on my device:
aria2c -x2 --no-conf=true --disable-ipv6=true --dir=/tmp/media/usb/USB1/EE6074066073D435 --ftp-user=***@gmail.com --ftp-passwd=*** --log="" "ftp://**"

result was the same: segmentation fault.. Please advise in which direction to dig?

cheers,
Andriy.

You could try to run the command with strace and see if a system call causes the segmentation fault... You could at least see what it tries to do before dying.

Have you tried compiling it for WDTV?
optware is known to have a couple of issues on Live/Plus.


PS: I'm just trying to compile it... will let you know if this worked, then I can give you an app.bin to test.

hi all,

it's a shame on me but unfortunatelly I am not really experienced enough to either compile of trace the program by myself..

Unfortunately the link on rapidshare from here doesn't really work: http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=494
So, I would really appreciate the app.bin, probably the missing squeeze filesystem image from the post above or any other advice how to proceed.

thanks,
Andriy.

Compiling in squeeze rootfs doesn't work and the drive I kept my virtualbox cross-compiling images on seems to be corrupt .

hi recliq,

looks like a bad luck But thanx for support and for the comment on squeeze. It looks like you saved a lot of my time on it.

have a nice evening,
Andriy.
