Hi,
Just done an upgrade and I keep getting randomly logged out of XFCE and returned to my login screen. The only pattern I can acertain is that it's related to press buttons, for instance clicking on recover documents in libre office booted me out twice, as did trying to stat emacs from the command line. I was if any of you had found something similar? Also suspend has also stopped working,

Thanks for your help, sorry about the less than helpful instructions,
James

Here's a fragment of my message log over the time of the crash.

This might be the suspect:

Looks like we may need to submit a bug, and use this as the URL: periodic crashes of xfce4-session

Your bug will follow the upstream bug...

According to the bug, lets try downgrading glib. What version of dev-libs/glib do you have installed :?:

If you need help writing the bug let me know, as there are 2 patches that need to be included.

This is the version I'm running, had to jump a few versions due to a horrible case of the blocks (emerge -uND).

You need to downgrade from 2.36.4 to 2.34 as per the bug from before.

Same problem here...

Quote:

Unfortunately, that's actually not so easy to do:

Code:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     UD~] dev-libs/glib-2.34.3-r1:2 [2.36.4-r1:2] USE="-debug (-fam) (-selinux) -static-libs -systemtap {-test} -utils -xattr" ABI_X86="(-32%) (-64%*) (-x32%)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 -python2_6" 6,187 kB

Total: 1 package (1 downgrade), Size of downloads: 6,187 kB

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

dev-libs/glib:2

  (dev-libs/glib-2.34.3-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    =dev-libs/glib-2.34.3-r1

  (dev-libs/glib-2.36.4-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
    >=dev-libs/glib-2.36.0:2 required by (net-libs/libsoup-2.42.3.1::gentoo, installed)
    (and 10 more with the same problem)

So do I need to downgrade libsoup and the "10 more" packages as well? I'm afraid this will create a long chain of required downgrades... are there any other options for working around that xfce bug? Or should I look into slotting glib?

If you do, please keep http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml in mind such that you can provide more detailed debugging information.

PostPosted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 7:36 pm    Post subject: XFCE crashes after world update Reply with quote

I'm using stable and after a world update I get segfaults in XFCE when I click on the panel. Things such as starting a program with a shortcut on the panel or clicking the "log out" icon results in X restarting (before actually having selected I wish to shutdown, of course).

dmesg gives me errors like this:

xfce4-session[2295]: segfault at ffffffff02664960 ip 00007f39ecd64535 sp 00007fff7a0ca8a0 error 5 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.4[7f39eccff000+125000]

I have tried doing another world update to see if this was just an intermittent issue that would be resolved quickly in a new update.

Merged the above post, in case additional solutions are desired.

looks like this bug is fixed in xfce4-session-4.10.1 which is currently in portage unstable. no more crashes for me so far. someone should make it stable as the current stable version is unstable (breaks system).
