Vmware View Horison and Segmentation fault

[ahmjrd]

Hi Guys

i have a problem with Vmware View client (all versions i'll give you the details)


when i run Vmware-view i can see the vmware login windows open adn after that i got the ERROR : SEGMENTATION FAULT . and the program exits.
this problem happens on my Ebox D300  hear is the Hardware Details :
processor : 0
Vendor_id : Generic RDC
cpu Fammily :5
mode l :8
cpu : 1GHz
clflush size : 32 bit
address size 32 bit


this happens on even tinycore and core plus / Version 5+ / i didnt check the oldest versions


hear is what i did to run the program :


i convert lots of Vmware versions as listed below :

vmware-horizon-view-client_2.1.0-2_amd64.deb  --> convert to tcz with de2tcz
vmware-horizon-view-client_2.1.0-2_i386.deb
vmware-view-client_2.1.0-0ubuntu0.12.10_i386.deb
vmware-view-client_2.2.0-0ubuntu0.12.04_i386.deb
vmware-view-client_2.2.0-0ubuntu0.14.04_i386.deb
vmware-view-client_4.6.0-366101-1_i386.deb

but when i run them on a 64 bit thin client every thing is fine

i also can PXE boot the tinycore and also can redirect the USB devices via Thinclient / zero client - but in this spesefic ebox-d300 i cant even run the vmware view client


i did lots of things
i installed the tiny core on the machine / i run live usb tiny core - i run via PXE / same Error .

i also don't know where can i read the system logs to find out what is the real problem

any help will be grate

I can't find a single English website for that product.
I suggest you try it on better hardware, and if that doesn't work, post a request in the "request an extension"  thread.

thanks for the reply

you can check this web site for hardware specs

1. What is the source of the software in question?
2. Have you tried to run same software with same hardware on any different system?

Boot with code "syslog", then in a terminal run

Code: [Select]

tail -f /var/log/messagesthen try to run your executable.

hi
1- yes it works on 64bit processor and also it works on Vmware virtual machine / Sony Vaio laptop and also Dell inspiron Laptop/
2- i did try several ways for the Source :
       a. I did download the RPM package and download all the Dependencies in centOS , then i used alien to convert them to .deb and then i convert them to .tcz
       b. i download .deb file from http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/v/vmware-view-client/ and convert them to .tcz
       c. i download .tar.gz file and convert it to .deb and then to .tcz
i will post you the syslog in the next post
thanks for helping me
       

[ahmjrd]

let me tell you the procedure for installing Vmware view horizon client
 
1-  download the http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/v/vmware-view-client/vmware-view-client_2.2.0-0ubuntu0.12.04_i386.deb
2-  Install findutils.tcz and squashfs-tools.tcz
3- convert the .deb file to .tcz
4- tce-load -i vmware-view-client_2.2.0-0ubuntu0.12.04_i386.tcz
5- after that when i run vmware-view i got this error and i have to install zenity :
       /usr/bin/vmware-view: line 17: zenity not found
6- so for installing zenity i have to install these items too :
     - Xorg-7.5-lib.tcz   
     - graphics-libs-1.tcz
     - libxft.tcz
     - dbus.tcz
     - dbusglib.tcz
     - libnotify.tcz
     - zenity.tcz
7- after installing zenity when i run vmwar-view i got this error :
        zenity : error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: can not open shared object file : no such file or directory
8- so i search for the libpng and this is the result :
    /usr/local/lib/libpng.so
    /usr/local/lib/libpng16.so
    /usr/local/lib/libpng16.so.16
    /usr/local/lib/libpng16.so.1.2.0
    * and also same files in the /tmp/tcloop/libpng/usr/local/lib
9 - i run this command : ln -s  /usr/local/lib/libpng16.so.16   /lib/libpng12.so.0
10- after that when i run vmware-view the EULA screen pop up opens and after clicking the CLOSE bottom i got this error
   vmware-view.bin : error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8 : can not open shared object file : no such file or directory
11- again seraching for the libssl and this is the result :
    /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0
   /usr/local/lib/libssl.so
12- next command is :    ln -s  /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0   /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
13- after that when i run vmware view this is the next error :
       vmware-view.bin : error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8 : can not open shared object file : no such file or directory
14-  next command is :    ln -s  /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0   /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
15- so now when i run vmware-iew the VMWare Horizon View Client login page appeares .
16- after typing the ip address of my server or what ever in the text box and clicking on the connect  :
     Segmentation fault




hear is the vmware-view log :

You appear to be using extensions from tc-4.x with tc-5.x - it would be best to either use tc-4.x with extensions from the 4.x repo or tc-5.x with extensions from the 5.x repo.

There have been signifcant changes to Xlibs, libpng and openssl between tc-4.x and tc-5.x, hence the need not to mix the extensions (see tc-5.0 release notes for more details).

[curaga]

Your libpng and openssl links are likely the reason. The versions are not ABI compatible, you are asking for crashes by doing those symlinks.

[ahmjrd]

Dear    curaga
Thank you for your reply
1st : waht is ABI ?
2nd what can i do about that ?

[ahmjrd]

Dear  Juanito
Thanks for the rely

i didnt find ZENITY for TC5.
now i'll try to install this on TC 4 and let you know the result
thanks again

Hi ahmjrd
It stands for  application binary interface  and it basically defines the types of variables being passed to a software routine
in a library. If a routine expects to be given  variable1, variable2, variable3  but you are using an older program that only
passes it  variable1, variable2  it will still pop  variable3  off of the stack and try to access some random memory location
which can lead to a segmentation fault.

[ahmjrd]

Dear Rich
Thanks for the tip
that was a nice bunch of info

now i am working on TC 4.7.7 it seams that things are better hear
now i'm facing some new errors about the display protocol ,
i'm working on it and let you guys now about the results
