New kernel breaks applications claws mail and pidgin
by lucmove from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DE5B)
On Debian 9, I changed from kernel 4.9 to 4.19.
Now claws-mail won't run:
Code:$ claws-mail
/tmp/claws-mail-0: mkdir: No such file or directory
Error creating socket_dir /tmp/claws-mail-0: No such file or directoryIf I create /tmp/claws-mail-0 manually, the application fails silently. No output.
They have a mailing list, but I can't access it because I can't use email.
They have an IRC channel, but I can no longer run pidgin either:
Code:$ pidgin
libdc1394 error: Failed to create juju: opendir: Permission denied

Pidgin 2.12.0 has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.
This is a bug in the software and has happened through
no fault of your own.
If you can reproduce the crash, please notify the developers
by reporting a bug at:

Please make sure to specify what you were doing at the time
and post the backtrace from the core file. If you do not know
how to get the backtrace, please read the instructions at

fish: ipidgini terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)I rebooted back with the old kernel and the problem remains.
Any ideas to make either work? Claws is more important.
