Wordnet Crashing

Support
,
1

Hi,

I’m on OpenMandrivaLX Rome 25.06 with KDE Plasma desktop (minimal install).

I try to install Artha dictionary. While the repo doesn’t have it, I tried to manually download the RPM from OpenSuse repo.

I manage to resolve the dependencies (wordnet, hunspell, aspell-en). However after successful install, on trying to search for a word, it crashes to desktop. So I uninstall it.

Then I try to install wordnet-gui from repo. The same problem. Tried to run it from terminal like this:

$ bash -x $(which wnb)
+ exec true
+ wishwn /usr/bin/wnb

Then this

$ journalctl -xe | grep wn

Also, I try to run the terminal version of wordnet:

$ wn hello

Information available for noun hello
        -hypen          Hypernyms
        -synsn          Synonyms (ordered by estimated frequency)
        -famln          Familiarity & Polysemy Count
        -coorn          Coordinate Terms (sisters)
        -grepn          List of Compound Words
        -over           Overview of Senses

No information available for verb hello

No information available for adj hello

No information available for adv hello
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any idea why this happens? Are there any file/dictionary missing/not accessible that causes this?

Additional Info:

If I run this, it doesn’t cause segmentation fault:

$ wn hello -hypen

Synonyms/Hypernyms (Ordered by Estimated Frequency) of noun hello

1 sense of hello                                                        

Sense 1
hello, hullo, hi, howdy, how-do-you-do
       => greeting, salutation
           => acknowledgment, acknowledgement
               => message, content, subject matter, substance
                   => communication
                       => abstraction, abstract entity
                           => entity

The segmentation fault seems to rear it’s head when I do wn <word> without specifying what kind of info to be displayed. However, if the kind of info is listed (-hypen, -synsn, etc), it displayed the info without faulting.

I rebuilt for cooker and rolling repos wordnet to catch up to latest dependencies. Don’t know if this will fix the problem @n1ckla is seeing, The new version is 3.1-6. The rolling version is publishing now and should be available in a few hours or less.

Just for future reference, we don’t suggest or support doing that. If you have done a dnf search, dnf list, or checked on https://abf.openmandriva.org or https://openmandriva.pkgs.org for a package and you don’t see it there, you can make a request in Development > Packages and features requests or on GitHub. You can also see if it’s available in flatpak. All of these are more preferable to using another distro’s RPM’s.

Many of the other distros use older spec file syntax and do not use the features we do. We also use the llvm toolchain which shouldn’t cause issues, but if you are using the devel packages then some may pull in gcc when they really don’t need to.

Some of their dependency and library names are different and they are not using a universal way to check for them (like pkgconfig or cmake). These can cause install errors whether or not we have the dependency.

@ben79:
I’ve updated wordnet to the latest. Seem the problem persists exactly as before. wn still causing segmentation fault if ran with a word without a command (i.e. wn hello) but runs fine if a command/section is given (i.e. wn hello -hypen). This causes any dictionary program that relies on wordnet (i.e. Artha, Wordnet GUI) to crash to desktop as soon as any word is given to search.

@zeroability:

Noted and lesson learned. I’ve tried this approach 3 times. One works flawlessly with Librewolf, one fails miserably with Proton VPN client, one should work (Artha) but there are problems with the underlying official repo package (wordnet).

Proton VPN is available in cooker and will be available in the Rome repos after the next update.

We can start looking into building Artha for our repos, but a formal package request might speed that up. A bug report on github would also be helpful. Most of the devs are too busy to notice all of the discussions on the forum.

We probably need a bug report for wordnet. Y’all want a real developer to try to fix this, and I am a user not a “real” developer. I can do only simple stuff and simple edits to .spec files and so forth.

OK. I’m opening an issue/bug report on OpenMandrivaAssociation GitHub, issue #3375.

It’s better to link it. It will link to the thread in the GH Issue automatically when you do that.
