I had Ramme installed by Deb on Ubuntu 18.04LTS and it worked quite well with occasional flakiness, but no hanging the computer. I have upgraded to Ubuntu 20.4 LTS and now Ramme does not fire up. Starting it from the terminal I get only "Segmentation Fault".
Does it say anything else? Have you run gdb on the core file to see where it crashed? Have you tried running strace on it to see what it was doing before it crashed? One thing you can do is use systemd-nspawn to create a chroot setup running an older version. On my workstations I have many old versions of Debian in chroots via systemd-nspawn. I have configured it to run sshd in the chroot and then I give each chroot a different address so I can ssh to any of them. A single sshd process takes hardly any resources so having a dozen chroots running at the same time is no big deal. Here's the systemd service file I use to start a wheezy chroot. If I wanted the home directory bind mounted (which you probably want) I'd add --bind=/home # cat /etc/systemd/system/wheezy.service [Unit] Description=wheezy [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemd-nspawn -D /chroot/wheezy -M wheezy --bind=/tmp / usr/local/sbin/run-sshd ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID StandardOutput=syslog KillMode=mixed Type=notify RestartForceExitStatus=133 SuccessExitStatus=133 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Here's the script that is used to start sshd. # cat /chroot/wheezy/usr/local/sbin/run-sshd #!/bin/bash mkdir -p /var/run/sshd exec /usr/sbin/sshd -D -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
