Deluge crashes since Ubuntu update

Post by Wcool »

Hi,

Since updating my homeserver (HP Proliant Microserver 36L) with standard updates from Canonical I have troubles with Deluge.
I run deluge-ui and it started to crash randomly but normally within 3 minutes. It also crashes a lot more if there is more than 1 torrent downloading.

If there is only 1 stream downloading and I put all the rest on pause, it often works but not always.

It's quit frustrating, does anyone else have the same problem?

Some info:
uname -a
Linux pepper 3.2.0-48-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 6 19:43:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

apport.log:
ERROR: apport (pid 3114) Mon Jul 8 19:39:18 2013: called for pid 3089, signal 11

kern.log

Anyone any idea?

Thanks,

Jeroen

Interesting, further analysis and experimenting suggests it might not be related to the Ubuntu update but a specific torrent.
It looks like I have no problem if I set a certain torrent in the queue to Paused.

Could there be some malicious peers out there that deliberately make lib crypto crash?

There is an issue in libcrypt, search for more details.

Thanks for that, it seems many people have the same issue.

For instance: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=705218

I will see if I can find a workaround
