|
|
Hi, I have done an emerge -u world and now doing certain actions in the opera web browser (such as clicking on the bookmarks button) cause the X server to immediately crash. I am on amd64. Does anybody else have this problem, or a suggestion on how to fix it?

The last part of the xorg log:
Code: | (**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "evdev brain" (type: evdev brain)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse0" (type: MOUSE)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "NVIDIA Event Handler" (type: Other)
(**) Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
(**) Option "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:10.0-1/input0"
SetClientVersion: 0 8
(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768"

Can you tell from this if it's xorg that crashed, or just kde? Suggestions? Thanks.
edit: and where are the kde logs? |

Does this happen if you use the 'nv' driver? |

Yes it does.
Hmm I am trying different things and sometimes (like now) it doesn't seem to crash... I have disabled all the risky options for the nvidia driver in xorg.conf (composite etc), I have moved my .opera directory etc, and I can't seem to find what is making it crash.
Also I get this error (unrelated?):
Code: | ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Fontconfig error: "conf.d", line 1: no element found |
Oh, and now I'm sure it's X and not kde that is crashing (since I'm testing opera in a separate X server with no kde). |

I think this may be a font-related problem. Probably I messed up something when doing etc-update, and now X crashes when it tries to display certain fonts-characters-encodings (still, it only happens with opera). Anybody got an idea on what it may be?
Especially look at this error: Code: | Fontconfig error: "conf.d", line 1: no element found | , does anybody know what it means?
EDIT: now I'm sure it's a font-related problem. In my bookmarks I had a japanese page with a japanese title, and the X server would crash every time I tried to display that japanese text (hence the crash when I clicked the "bookmarks" button). After manually editing opera6.adr to change the title of the bookmark, opera stopped crashing in this case. It still crashes when I try to view certain pages. Any ideas?
EDIT: opera crashes X when it tries to display japanese text and in other circumstances; other programs (konqueror) display japanese text with no problems.
...edit again: if I try to change the encoding (for ex. to southern european), X crashes. If I set the encoding to western iso-8859-1 and I try to display a jap page, it crashes after a few seconds instead of crashing immediately like it does if I leave encoding to auto detection. |

It's even worse in my system. Whenever I start a freetype1 application, such as xmms, my whole system is frozen completely. The only way to recover the system is to press the power button. After that, sometimes, my laptop complains a bios error and losts the clock. Opera uses freetype, not xft, to display some CJK characters occasionally. So it harms my system too. |

Thanks for the suggestion, I have tried to run xmms (I use amarok usually ) and it works fine for me (no crashes), so maybe my problem is different; anyways I'll try to downgrade freetype and see what happens (I already downgraded fontconfig but with no results).
quhv, are you on ~x86?
***SOLVED***
echo =media-libs/freetype-2.1.10 > /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
emerge freetype
(and then restart X)
