Hi there.

I have some issues with the latest client, it crashes for no reason from time to time. And I can't find any crash-log to determine why it crashes!

Information

LinuxMint 9 x64 (Based on Ubuntu 10.04 x64)

Mangler 1.2.0 (can't get any specific buildnumber or something)

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz

6 Gb RAM

I'll try to help in any way possible to get it fixed since I rely on it when I raid in World of Warcraft.

While Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, it is not Ubuntu.

The PPA you are using is built with, by, and for Ubuntu.  Personally, the current 1.2.0 has never crashed for me on Ubuntu 10.04, which probably means that you should rebuild this package for your distribution.

 

Since Mint is Debian based, 'apt-get source mangler && apt-get build-dep mangler' should pull and extract the Mangler source code with Debian based changes and install all of the necessary dependencies.  From here you should be able to change to the extracted directory and issue the 'debuild -b' command to build a binary package for your system. (If debuild isn't available, try installing the devscripts package)

 

After this, if you are still getting crashes you should work to provide debugging information.  Ekilfoil or like developers can aid you in this process.

It does use Ubuntu's repos so I have no idea where you've gotten your misinformation? Mangler has always worked fine for me until latest ppa update.

That didn't help much.

Trying with sudo on both, reporting after the "thingie" is done.

Edit

Didn't help. Still same issue.
