Pgadmin3 (postgresql administrator GUI, I presume GTK+ program)
My home desktop has been upgraded, probably since FC-4 or FC-5 and now
on F9
If I launch Pgadmin3, it sticks at the splash screen and never
progresses and I can only kill it. It upgraded a month ago or so, same
thing.
I have removed the rpm and re-installed (both the one from F9-base and
F9-updates) but either way, same issue.
Obligatory question: Have you tried it with a fresh user account,
too?
I asked the list and others report having no problems running
pgadmin-i386.
If I launch (as user or even as root), it hangs the same way, with nary
anything to standard error or standard out.
I can't strace it because by the time I launch it, get the pid and try
to strace it, it's already hung.
You can launch it via strace: strace pgadmin3
Ruling out that damaged packages cause this is one thing to do, too.
"rpm -Va" should not report any damaged files.
Anyone have suggestions on how to troubleshoot it?
debuginfo-install -y pgadmin3
then run it, attach gdb to it (gdb -p $PID) and backtrace it,
"thr app a bt" (means "thread apply all backtrace"). That could
help with finding out where it waits.
