#74946 — Unison Now a Crashmeister

Unison crashes 8-10 times a day for me now.  Always with an error 
indicated as Exception: SIGSERV and exception type of SEGV_MAPERR.

Any ideas of how to make it go away?

slrn?

Sorry, being a pain in the ass attempting to be funny.  Since Unison is 
no longer supported by its developer, there may not be much hope here.

I find the older version of Unison (1.8.1) to be less buggy than V2.  
You might give that a try... it isn't all that different.

And it's easier to read, as well...

It's 2.1.10 that I'm using as 2.2 is too buggy.  Still, I've been using 
2.1.10 since it came out with no difficulties...

I find 1.8.1 is more stable, and the message list is much easier to 
read, since you can increase the font size.

Later versions restrict you to one font size.

This is likely a memory usage problem.

> Any ideas of how to make it go away?

You could try deleting the cache files (assuming there are some,
I don't know).  And perhaps catching up (marking all articles as
seen) all the newsgroups, as those data can become quite large.

Thanks, I've start fiddling with the magic of cache cleaning.  I think 
such programs could be called "who knows--it might help", but probably 
not much marketing punch that way.

Thanks for the input, I have onyx malingering somewhere on my system 
because of loyalist's statements.  But while going through other 
miseries I recently got Yosemite Cache Cleaner which seems vast in 
scope.  Vast enough to then avoid using it.  I just gave it a shot and 
we'll see what happens.

Got the wrong link twice! I tried to correct it.

Here's the good one:

I'm using Unison 2 under Yosemite 10.10.4 and everything is working fine.

Just to clarify--you're using Unison 2.1.10 with OS 10.10.4 (beta), right?

Acording to the presented information I'm running Unison 2.2 and OS X 
Yosemite 10.10.4.

I didn't know 10.10.4 was released yet.  In any case I've never managed 
to make Unison 2.2 work without crashing.  Perhaps it was/is also cache 
or cache-borrowing related.

1. Reinstall it.  Do you have the .dmg?

    Use "AppCleaner" to remove it.  It finds associated files and nukes
    them.

    Make a screen shot of your favourite groups first ...

2. Clear the cache (~/Library/Caches/Unison[ 2])

3. There is no "Preferences" folder for Unison that I can find.

No.  I have a zip of the application.  I don't think it came with a .dmg.

I don't have that one, but may consider it if my current approach doesn't hold.

By "clear" do you mean, delete this file?

> 3. There is no "Preferences" folder for Unison that I can find.

My current approach was to do a "light" cache cleaning via Yosemite 
Cache Cleaner.  As part of the process, it restarts the computer.  Last 
week I restarted the computer, with no cache cleaning, and it seemed to 
be helpful for a few days.  This time too, it has stopped crashing 
incessantly, but it was only 22 hours ago.  Since I've never had these 
kinds of problems before, the idea of a cache cleaning seems like it 
might be helpful.

And I got a crash now at the 24:36 mark.

I assume you did, in any case I just deleted the 
~/Library/Caches/Unison_2 file.  Let's see if that helps...

Fear not - a new one will be created in its place.

Oh piffle--got me a crash out of the deal anyway.
