Urbackupsrv crashes on Ubuntu 20.04

Hello,
yesterday I upgraed my Ubuntu 18.04.4 to Ubuntu 20.04 with urbackup installed from the ppa.
I noticed that urbackupsrv is not running and started analysing. Since there is no 20.04 build on the PPA, I uninstalled urbackup and reinstalled it from the OpenSuse build service.

Running it manually starts well, but suddenly crashes with a Segmentation fault:

Any idea on how to debug this problem? Thanks

Edit: In your Wiki I found an instruction on how to provide debug-information with gdb. So here is the output: CodePile | Easily Share Piles of Code

Could you install the debug symbols and rerun this? ( https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/uroni/xUbuntu_20.04/amd64/urbackup-server-dbgsym_2.4.12.0-1_amd64.ddeb )

Of course, here you go: https://www.codepile.net/pile/pwGrMnVb

Hmm, can’t reproduce the problem and it seems to be easily reproducible… (just connect a Internet client)

So two ideas: Perhaps it is indeed your CPU (output of cat /proc/cpuinfo), or your ubuntu has a stale crypto++ lib (apt remove libcrypto++6 then install urbackup-server again…?)

Here is my /proc/cpuinfo https://www.codepile.net/pile/jWPgERM5
I would be surprised if its because of the cpu, with 16.04 and 18.04 I had no problems. I was running the same version of urbackup in 18.04 already before upgrading to 20.04

Reinstalling libcrypto++6 and urbackup-server didn’t help, same segfault.

I disabled my homes firewall rules to deny any access from the internet clients, urbackup is running now . including sucessfully doing backups in my home network. So just no backups of my internet clients for now…

I just had the same issue on upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04. Used to be working without any problems until the upgrade. Now, as soon as an Internet client connects, seg-fault and core-dump. Unfortunately, all my backup clients except one are Internet clients.

As a workaround, what works well, is running the urbackupsrv in the official Docker container. Internet clients can still connect in this case.

Solved installing previous version of libcrypto++6

wget http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libc/libcrypto++/libcrypto++6_5.6.4-8_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libcrypto++6_5.6.4-8_amd64.deb

I can confirm ivan’s workaround works!
Sadly with any apt upgrade or install it will break again, so it’s really just a short term solution to finally do some backups of the online machines.

Is the same occurring with the freshly build 2.4.13? (now also in the ppa)

Yes, firstly I have tried disabling the encrypted transfer in the internet settings, upgraded to 2.4.13 and it fails too.

I also tested yesterday with the very new 2.4.13 and had the same issue

Is there an update to this?

I’ve installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my home server and urbackup is crashing when an internet client connects.

I’ve ran the opensuse version for the debug symbols and got the following:

Seems a pattern that it happens with old AMD Athlon processors?

Also as ivan said, the problem seems to be in in the crypto++ package, which is not part of urbackup server.

In my case it’s an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU.
It quite clearly is related to the packages in 20.04, since running the official docker image works fine (that’s my current workaround).

Dual xeon’s here with same issue once I upgraded to Ubuntu server 20.04 from 18.04. Definitely an issue with the libcrypto++6 upgrade from 5.6.4-8 to 5.6.4-9.

As said, I cannot reproduce the issue when I try it e.g. on a DigitalOcean Ubuntu 20.04 instance.

Ran

wget http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libc/libcrypto++/libcrypto++6_5.6.4-8_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libcrypto++6_5.6.4-8_amd64.deb

like @ivan recommended. Then ran

sudo apt-mark hold libcrypto++6

Seemed to resolve issue. Have multiple backup servers running Ubuntu 20.04, and all of them couldn’t run urbackupsrv. Would crash with Segmentation Fault. Can do other updates after holding the package.

And have Intel and AMD and Server and Desktop processors in use at the moment.

I tried the package libcrypto++6_5.6.4-9 (same version as in Ubuntu) from debian/sid repo and it also solves the issue. So it looks like ubuntu-package-related (not library-version related)

wget http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libc/libcrypto++/libcrypto++6_5.6.4-9_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libcrypto++6_5.6.4-9_amd64.deb
sudo apt-mark hold libcrypto++6
