New Mac client crashes after install

[bdmeyer]

I allowed the automatic update to to the install today, and it crashed. I downloaded the latest from the Adium web site which the installer said 'a newer version already exists, do you want to replace?' Which I did. It also crashed on every 'reopen.'
I downloaded 1.4.5 and it runs perfectly.

I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8 all patches and updates applied.

I just thought I would pass this on since I didn't see any other posts on this. Adium is a good client. Much better than the other I have tried on the Mac. 'It just works.'

I've been experiencing the same behavior. Attached is a crash dump.

You are seeing the current crash with the 1.5.1b1 beta: http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=24266.

bdmeyer, a crash log would be appreciated.

Adium installer updated this morning to 1.5.1. Since then I have experienced two crashes. Attaching crash log from Console.

EvenStranger, your crash log looks similar to http://trac.adium.im/ticket/15984. It's a pretty common crash related to the Transcript Viewer. It is currently under investigation.

Hope it will be fixed soon. The crashes are irritating
p.s. Robby, is it Frusciante on your avatar?

[Robby]

Yes, it is. Can't wait for the new album to be released.

I haven't had a significant issue with Adium that I can think of in over 5 years, but after this update the program crashes immediately on startup every time. I gave it a week or so thinking this would be resolved, but I'm guessing this isn't common and you haven't received enough crash dumps to isolate the problem.

Back to 1.4.5 for now.
Crash dump attached. Thanks!

Just an update on my crashes. For the most part, 1.5.1 has been fairly stable with normal use. However, I can pretty much count on a crash within a few minutes after I open my chat log and close it. Hope this helps you guys narrow things down a bit.

For those experiencing crashes related to the Transcript Viewer, please try this build: http://nightly.adium.im/adium-adium-1.5 ... 1r4873.dmg and let us know how it works for you.

You are my king Adium was crashing since few days each time I tried to start it without reasons, and now gone works again with that build Keep up on great work

[vincen]

Hum I was too fast, it's better as it doesn't crash at startup but it freezes after few minutes running without reasons so unusable for now How is that possible that suddenly it doesn't work anymore (no mac osx update recently !).

Thanks,

Vincèn

Oh, that build shouldn't exhibit any hangs. Please post a sample (http://trac.adium.im/wiki/Sampling).

thanks for info but problem resolved, it was due to an issue with OpenGL libraries in Mac OSX
