Amahi Forums

After a couple of Ubuntu updates ago, Ruby 1.8 crashes shortly after a reboot. Does Amahi use Ruby for anything?
It hasn't been functioning for a few weeks now, and coincidentally SAB no longer downloads my Sickbeard wanted lists.
Different problems?

Yes. Amahi is based on Ruby. The update should not have broken anything, but there is always a first time.

Can you provide details on error messages or from the logs?

After last nights kernel update, Ruby has not crashed yet, but here is the crash report error log.
Hope it helps.

Let us know if the issue reappears. Sounds like it might be resolved.

Hi Big
unfortunately this problem has resurfaced. Shortly after a reboot, Ruby crashes as before.
Are there any checks you need me to provide to narrow down the problem?

You can check the log files in /var/log directory for issues. I am unsure why you are having problems.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04.2 with all updates and Ruby works fine for me. Did you do any manual configuration changes to the OS?

I had a look at the crash report last night, and same as previous post, a number of communication failures resulting in Ruby quitting.
I am using the stock standard 12.04.2 with current updates.
I also have a suspicion that a ram module may be faulty as I have had recent problems starting the machine. I'll swap that over on the weekend and see how it performs.

I installed new ram, computer reboots and performs well.
However, Ruby still crashes shortly after startup.
I noticed a lot of info on the net re Ruby crashes on Linux systems. I'll troll thru that and see if I can find a solution.

research so far points to broken/corrupt library files causing Ruby to shut itself down to avoid further damage.
For a layman such as myself, is it possible to reload dependent library files for Ruby? Or is it not as easy as that?
Some suggested fixes were updating the Ruby library to a newer version. I am hesitant to do this as Ruby 1.8 is ancient and current libraries (1.9+) may not be compatible.
