Same as Richard here: Updating libc6 to 2.6.1-1ubuntu10 broke stuff, doing sudo aptitude reinstall libc6 fixed it.
I do have one extra piece of info, though: I used to get memory corruption on my feisty installation before, which I got rid of by removing powernowd and any CPU core frequency changing. Since this bug is only a problem for AMD64, maybe it could be a faulty CPU series or something? Here's the top of my /proc/cpuinfo, if you want to compare: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ stepping : 10 -- 2.6.1-1ubuntu3 makes apps crash with Bus error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137179 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
