immediate segfault of LV2014 if VPN

[ensegre]

On my laptop, I just discovered that LV2014 (but not 2011SP1 or 2013) segfaults at launch, even before the splash, if I connect to my institute via VPN, while it works and worked all the time if I'm just linked to WAN. Haven't seen that before, I wonder if it has anything to do with a latest ubuntu update.

Any idea why that would happen?
 

$ labview &
[3] 7297
[1]   Done                    labview
owner@xxxxx:~/Desktop/yyyyyy$ 
LabVIEW caught fatal signal
14.0 - Received SIGSEGV
Reason: address not mapped to object
Attempt to reference address: 0x(nil)

[3]+  Segmentation fault      (core dumped) labview

with ddd I see an uninformative backtrace:

 

 

ETA: just upgraded to 14.0.1 (spring 2015) and the problem vanished....

This also happens to me. It happens when the VPN is active.

I am using Ubuntu though I know Ubuntu is not officially supported by NI.

It will be interesting to know if this also happens with Redhat Linux.

Since the day I upgraded I haven't seen the problem any further, so perhaps that would be your best option too. It is ubuntu 14.04 here.

Seven years later, another incarnation of VPN and ubuntu 20.04, still the very same problem hit me again for LV14.0: immediate crash if started while Checkpoint snx is running, no crash if snx is started afterwards  Not with LV2019, not 2021 in the same conditions... Since I need specifically LV14 for a legacy project, I have to remember where I put the 14SP1 installation media.
