Arch linux core dump

[CDinger]

I think this is an Arch issue but just in case will post here as only NextPVR is affected as far as I can tell.  It appears by my limited knowledge to be dotnet that is causing the problem. Below is screen output when starting NextPVR using

Code:

/opt/dotnet/dotnet ./NextPVRServer.dll

Code:

craig@Arch ~/NPVR/  $ /opt/dotnet/dotnet ./NextPVRServer.dll
Process terminated. Couldn't find a valid ICU package installed on the system. Set the configuration flag System.Globalization.Invariant to true if you want to run with no globalization support.

 Here is a snipet of the journalctl just before a core dump.

I haven't used non Debian linux but the ICU message indicates to me you need to install libicu

Martin

[CDinger]

Thank you Martin,

I also have been primarily on Debian/Ubuntu. I decided to boot into Arch just because. I updated and notice that NextPVR was causing problems.

I installed icu, Arch version of libicu to no avail.

Thanks again,
Craig

I think setting the following before running dotnet fixes it

export DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1

[CDinger]

Oh wait a minute, icu is libicudata.so=71-64, libicui18n.so=71-64, libicuio.so=71-64, libicutest.so=71-64, libicutu.so=71-64, libicuuc.so=71-64. So I looked in the Arch AUR and found libicu50. I installed the AUR package and NextPVR is running properly.

Thanks,
Craig

Sub,
In my search for help I found fix icu problem. But couldn't figure out how to do anything with the info. Export ....didn't think of that.

Thanks to Martin and yourself,

Craig

Oh wait a minute, icu is  libicudata.so=71-64, libicui18n.so=71-64, libicuio.so=71-64, libicutest.so=71-64, libicutu.so=71-64, libicuuc.so=71-64. So I looked in the Arch AUR and found libicu50. I installed the AUR package and NextPVR is running properly.

The Arch website says you need 71.1-1 for dotnet 3.1, which should install your first set of files, I am surprised it didn't work. I checked here and I have libicu67 and libicu63 installed.

Martin,
I can only say that installing icu didn't work. Installing libicu50 from the AUR package worked flawlessly.

Sub,
Out of curiosity I removed libicu50 and verified that NextPVR stopped working and had a core dump. I then did

Code:

export DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1

started NextPVR and it worked perfectly.

Thanks again,

Craig

[Iriman]

Yeah, Having the same issue here with the latest arch. Same logs. There was an update to icu, harfbuzz-icu and harfbuzz that kills nextpvr.
Libicu50 works perfect. thanks for the tip.

export DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1 did not work for me at all.

[CDinger]

Iriman,
I'm not sure how you were using the export. I have tried it 2 ways and both work for me.

Code:

export DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1

followed by

Code:

/opt/dotnet/dotnet ./NextPVRServer.dll

I have also used it in a systemd unit file. The key here is to use the following Environment setting.

Code:

Environment="DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1"
