GNUmeric crashes, Palemoon old

[TT]

Hi there!

Is it possible to investigate, why gnumeric crashes?

Also, Palemoon is really old (I haven't compared-checked speed/memory consumption under Seamonkey yet).

Happy New Year!

Which version of tinycore are you using and for which architecture?

[TT]

- both 32-bit/64-bit TCL 11.1 (which somewhat more often freezes under VM, contrary to TCL 11.0). The same is true for all the gnumerics 'recompiled for kernel 5.x'.

I'm not surprised that there's a problem with the x86 version of gnumeric.

The x86_64 version of gnumeric was compiled on CorePure64-11.x, so I'm surprised that crashes - did you run out of ram?

[TT]

It never came to my mind since it briefly flashes even when run from a terminal, but not OOM, what are the system requirements, and does it start on your system? I think it is something different. The freezes I was referring to were related to the TCL 11.1 as a whole (and could not be investigated, but try to serf a little longer with palemoon), not to gnumerics.

Were you using Xvesa, Xfbdev, Xorg-7.7 or Xorg-7.7-3d?

If not Xorg-7.7-3d, maybe you could try with that in CorePure64?

Maybe you could start gnumeric from a terminal window to look for error messages?

[TT]

Ah! Yea-h, you have recently updated Xorg-7.7! I've tried it with Xvesa right now.

A: under Xvesa

I've just tried bare TC iso both (32/64-bit) under VM (w/512Mb RAM) now, and no luck with 32-bit, and 64-bit reboots (!) upon "saving 'dbus.tcz'" (sight). Trying w/1Gb…

UPD: Ok, gnumeric installs, and crashes upon run… No luck, as the target host will not have more than 1Gb RAM, sad.

gnumeric works for me in both Core-11.x and CorePure64-11.x using Xorg-7.7 - I didn't try Xvesa or Xfbdev.

Thanks Juanito for saying it's workable. I've naïvely supposed Xvesa was a cut-down version of Xorg for memory sake. Things are clearer now.
