 Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2009 1:58 am Post subject: [SOLVED]xorg-server-1.5.3-r4 crash with KDE 4.2 |
 |
|
bugs.gentoo.org seems to be down at the moment, I'll try to post a bug when it's back.
Anyway, I recently upgraded to xorg-server-1.5.3-r4. It seems to work fine for KDE 3.5.10. I also installed KDE 4.2.1 (having not used KDE 4 before), and found that it caused X to crash. While I have managed to get it to crash doing a fair few things, one reproducible way I found was this:
1) Start a KDE 4.2.1 session
2) Click the "thingy" at the right of the panel which brings up the panel menu.
3) Click "Add Widgets"
4) Click the dropdown menu at the top of the "add widgets" window, which for me says "all widgets".
At this point X crashes (to kdm/console depending on how I started it).
So my default setup uses x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.16 with my GeForce FX 5500, with composite enabled. That gives me this in the Xorg log:

So I switched to the "nv" driver (x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.12). Same result with a slightly different backtrace:

It looks like the addresses have moved and item 3 from the first trace has disappeared.
So I tried again with Composite turned off (still nv driver), and got the same result with an identical backtrace.
I also had a similar crash with xorg-server-1.5.3-r3 (didn't test "nv" and without composite though). In all cases, the X log only complained about some font paths not existing and the freetype module not existing, no other errors apart from the crash.
Does anyone have any hints on how the get better debugging information? It looks (to someone not familiar with the codebase at least) like the crucial line is item 2 which doesn't contain a function name. Or is this a known problem?

| Have you tried a revdep-rebuild lately? I just tried the procedure you listed, but it didn't crash for me. Sounds like you have a component (shared library) that me need to be recompiled and linked. It's an outside shot, but you can eliminate that remedy if it doesn't work. |

| I have fixed this by turning off "BackingStore" in xorg.conf |
