Description

Any attempt to get online help (for example x.n?) crashes Sage. I'm assuming this is system-specific because noone has reported it yet. Gdb backtrace:

It might be relevant to mention which kind of terminal you use.

And does the problem occur with all terminals (say, xterm or pure console session at /dev/tty1)?

  • Milestone changed from sage-8.1 to sage-duplicate/invalid/wontfix
  • Status changed from new to needs_review
  • Summary changed from Ncurses crash with x.abc? on OpenSuSE to Ncurses crash with x.abc?

This completely disappeared, somewhat after I deleted my $HOME/.sage directory (which I did because I could no longer start Sage). So I guess the cause was corruption of one of the files in that directory.
