Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2004 3:22 pm Post subject: gtk2 programs crash X |
|
|
For the last little while some gtk2 programs will crash X.
Pan will load up just fine, but when I click on a newsgroup it'll crash X about half way loading the headers.
gDesklets will load, but when I goto to a config to change a colour property it crashes X.
evolution will crash X just after the splash screen.
however, galeon, gaim, the gimp, beep media player all work without any probs. This is all under gnome 2.6.2, but if I switch to enlightenment 0.16.7.1 every gtk2 program will crash X.

Thats the few lines from my log file. I can post the whole if its needed.
I'v tried recompiling the entire world, just to see if that would fix anything.
I am using gcc3.4.1, but wasn't having anything at all until recently. |

OMG this happened to me just today. I'm still looking trying to find out what's wrong.
I was relating this to yesterday when I backed up my / and un-tared it back and had some permission problems. But I guess this isn't the case >_<;
Gaim suggests to add the "debug" USE flag and trace what happened last (like I know how to do that eh?). But I found something interesting (no cookies?), for now only Gaim crashes on me with the exact same error. I did a "startx -- :1" on a second console (while X was already running on F7), and then ran gaim, and it didn't crash!!
Is that the same with you? Please answer back. Maybe we'll work this out together ^^
Thank you.
EDIT: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=214973 This guy fixed his problem with gtk apps crashing, I asked him for the solution too. Let's keep an eye there xD |

Hrm.. last night I read up on Gaim's FAQ and followed the procedure to debug gaim.
Since gaim takes X down along with it, there's no way I can debug it so (well maybe there is, start gdb from console and work gaim in X but I don't know if that works .. anyways), I left the idea of trying to fix it and went to bed.
Today morning I ran gaim again (hoping for it to crash my X), and it didn't >_<; Was it a simple RESTART that fixed it, or was it a logout? I can't tell, but I haven't had any problems all day long today. Gaim hasn't crashed once (I re-logged in many times, tried to make it crash and it wouldn't).
How about you guys?
Edit: well to be entirely truthful, we also get the error about "libdri" right, so I was thinking let's compile xorg again too. And I did,although I had no immediate changes, here I am after a reboot and it's working alright. There's another thread I found https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=20910 and the guy has the same error as us.
You said that you recompiled world, but you didn't logout or reboot right after it right? Are things working out for you today? |

um
what are your cflags?
GCC 3.4.1 does NOT like -O2/3 -march=pentium4 in its CFLAGS for Xorg 6.7.0-rX
my suggestion is to either use -march=pentium3 in gcc, or drop to GCC 3.3.x for Xorg.
I had to the same thing.
Xorg 6.7.99.904 compiles cleanly though. _________________ GCC 3.4.2-r2
Glibc 20040808 +NPTL +Prelink
Linux 2.6.9-rc2-love4

Ohh please don't say that it was a really painstaking process to re-compile everything just to get gcc 3.4. And how can it be that I ran xorg for 2 whole days without any problems, and this suddenly happened, and then it got fixed on its own?
My flags are -march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe
Sigh.. and what about nagzi, you got the same CFLAGS?
And I can live without gaim for a while, untill 6.8.0 is released ^^. I just hope this doesn't happen again, sigh. |

This was happening to me. When I would put my mouse on a tree in a GTK2 program, X would just crash. It stopped when I didn't use GDM. I later discovered that the problem didn't happen when I toggled the "Always disallow TCP connections" off in gdmsetup. Then again, my problem may be completely unrelated to what you are having. |

Yes what you say could be related. Because by default TCP isn't used on xorg (at least that's what the ebuild says after a successful compile), but I didn't change anything and this problem went away.
Perhaps nagzi should try your suggestion!
Thank you for your kind post ^^ much appreciated. |

I had the same problem, and it went away after I recompiled gtk+ with CFLAGS="" and CXXFLAGS="". I'm sure it was a specific flag which caused the problem, but I was too lazy to track it down. _________________ There is no substitute for experience.

Thank you for your post Darckness. Yeah I know it can get really troublesome tracking down stuff like that, oh well, as long as things are working out fine for us ^^ |

Hm. So it's a GCC-3.4 and Xorg-6.7.0 issue.
Well, I'm upgrading to 6.8.0 anyway so hopefully this will resolve the dead gaim problem for me. Nothing else was bothering my X server. Now just to wait for an Xorg compile... _________________ Athlon XP 2600+ (1.9gHz)/1024MB DDR333/Asus A7V880/Samsung 160GB SATA HDD/Chaintech GeForce FX5500 256MB |
