Emelfm2 just dies with BadLength error...

Message

Hi,

Emelfm2 just dies after hitting... well anything. The easiest way to show this is to hit on the configure button. Wham, emelfm2 dies with this message:

Code: Select all

This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
  (Details: serial 7376 error_code 16 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I haven't seen this anywhere else on the forums, except in a sort of related gdk post but the solution doesn't apply because one cannot emerge xft2 any more.

I have no idea what is causing this, but I know I've tried recompiling it a number of different ways with different configurations, updating, and even tried it again after I had to reinstall my system (for something unrelated, a hd config issue). Still the same problem persists.

Here is my emerge info:

(Let's hope that bbcode doesn't hate me and will actually post this correctly)

Any help? I really love this program, its the most useful for me for managing files.

I used to have a similar issue with this app, although I don't remember seeing the error message you posted.

Anyway, another user gave me the following tip (original thread) which solved the issue for me;

aveightor wrote:I was having the same problem with emelfm2 in Archlinux.
I know emelfm2 worked fine in Gentoo, so I booted Gentoo and
same problem. After changing some configs, click apply and then OK
emelfm2 crashed with no error message. Found a post on a Archlinux
maillist that fixes this problem. Bring up emelfm2, click on config, click on panes
click on scrollbar position, select one ...anyone... if you notice its blank, click apply and OK.
Thats it

Does that make any difference?

I saw your thread about emelfm2 but I don't think its the same issue since I can't click on anything without that happening. Especially the config button.

If I double click on an icon, it can crash randomly. If I try to configure it, it crashes definitely.

I'll try to find out an action that *doesn't* cause the huge crash, but I dunno how successful I'm going to be

Have you tried without any config files or editing the config files manually?

Anyway, I'm running a similar system, and emelfm2's working fine for me on amd64 (I don't think I could manage without it) so here's my emerge info, if it's of any use;

The ebuild itself doesn't lend itself to any obvious things I'm doing wrong. I have nls enabled, but it doesn't even check for it, just sets a compile flag. Very small ebuild.

I don't notice a huge difference in our emerge info aside from some use flags. I'll keep trying at this, as I also can't live without emelfm :-p

As far as editing the config files, what exactly am I supposed to edit? Unless you mean do all my editing of config stuff from a text editor, which isn't what I had in mind in terms of "using" emelfm2

I meant setting "scrollbar-position=bottom-right" manually just in case that was the problem, but I doubt it is.

Anyway, here's my config, if you want to try it (comments removed);

On a side note, before this did you get occasional crashes when creating a new directory with the mkdir dialog box?
That's something that plagued me even on my p III machine.

Anyway, if all else fails, you could try own of the later versions, they worked okay for me when I had my problem.

Well, the config change didn't change much, however, I made a new ebuild for the latest (0.1.1) based off of the old ebuild and it works really great. In fact, it looks like ten times better than the version I last used, and it has more functionality that I had to implement myself last time (like a trash bin instead of direct deleting).

Also, there is apparently more functionality that can be compiled in if fam has been installed, but I'm pretty rusty on ebuild syntax. Like for one thing this doesn't check for nls (I think), it just sets it automatically. If I can get this cleaned up, I'll submit it to bugzilla. Here's the ebuild I quickly hacked together:

Also, it'd probably be a good idea to check if the locale patch could be applied. Then again, I'm on UTF-8 here and it seems to work fine without that patch, so maybe it was already added to the upstream package.

Thanks for the help nonetheless though, I appreciate it!

Slightly better version of the ebuild:

Code: Select all

# Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $

inherit eutils toolchain-funcs

DESCRIPTION="A file manager that implements the popular two-pane design based on gtk+-2"
HOMEPAGE="http://emelfm2.org/"
SRC_URI="http://emelfm2.org/rel/${P}.tar.gz"

LICENSE="GPL-2"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~amd64"
IUSE="nls"
# Also seems to have fam, gettext(il8n), and marshalls support...
# And can compile and install plugins

DEPEND=">=x11-libs/gtk+-2.4"

src_unpack() {
	unpack ${A}
}

src_compile() {
	local nlsconf
	
	export CC="$(tc-getCC) ${CFLAGS}"		
	if use nls; then
		nlsconf="NLS=-DENABLE_NLS"
	fi
	emake PREFIX=/usr ${nlsconf} || die "emake failed"
}

src_install() {
	local nlsconf

	if use nls; then
		nlsconf="NLS=-DENABLE_NLS"
	fi
	dodir /usr/bin

	make PREFIX=${D}/usr \
		${nlsconf} \
		DOC_DIR=${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF} \
		install || die "make install failed"
	prepalldocs
}

The makefile can still be parsed for things relating to gettext, fam, and some other stuff, but for now this seems to do the job. Someone better than I at making ebuilds could probably do it in like 2 seconds. Anyway, anyone see any big issues with this if I were to submit it to bugzilla?

Btw, this new emelfm2 is really cool, I love it

I tried the later versions before, and I didn't like them, so I stuck with what was in portage.

I don't suppose you could post a screenshot, let me see what it's like now before I try it?

Anyway,

Code: Select all

cp -r /usr/portage/app-misc/emelfm2 /usr/local/portage/app-misc

just in case you cause the portage version to be replaced.

It doesn't have a gazillion new features, but I like the addition of a trashcan, as well as some other nice gui additions up front. It also looks nicer, but maybe that's just me

Oh yeah, and thanks for the note on portage. I think I'll submit the ebuild to bugzilla so we have at least more than one version in portage.

Actually, I meant using something like http://imageshack.us/, but thanks for putting the screenshot up.
I have to ask, though, what gtk theme are you using? It looks like something from gtk 1.2.

This is how it should look.

Anyway, I (obviously) tried your ebuild, and other than segfaulting with my original configs, it works fine.
Thing is, it's missing two of my favourite features, the ability to use the right cursor key to navigate directories and open files,
and the ability to select multiple files with a simple click an drag.
And I don't really want to use a trash can.

I'll be sticking with 0.0.9 for I while I think, but I don't see any reason why they wouldn't add your ebuild to portage.
Nice job.

Okay, it crashes a bit still, but only very occasionally when I'm changing permissions, and it doesn't seem to give an explanation and it actually does do the perm change. But crashing rarely is still better than not being able to use it at all

But I also noted that drag n drop has been put in as well (at least I didn't know you could do it before). So that's pretty cool, hope it'll be useful.

Elsipkitch9809 · Post by **Elsipkitch9809** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 12:07 am

Oh, as far as the style, I just used the default one without any configuration

I think the click and drag thing has been swapped out, yeah, I do remember doing that. I guess its drag n drop now, or maybe you can configure that. I'll have to take a looksee. I liked the idea of a trash can, since I don't want to worry about accidentally deleting a file, but that's just me

Well, it has its ups and downs I guess, but like I said, it works instead of crashes, so I'm going to stick with this for a while. At least until I can figure out why the one in portage now was crashing...

Anyway, back to emelfm goodness

Whoops, I guess I didn't look hard enough before, since this has already been done
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90476

They have one for 0.1.0 there, with much better ebuild syntax than mine

Oh well, at least someone's still working on emelfm2 udpates

Sadako · Post by **Sadako** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 12:28 am

Drag and drop works in 0.0.9, you just have to use the middle mouse button, you can even drop into rox-filer windows (and presumably nautilus too).

About the ebuild, there's no reason you can't put yours together with the one on bugzilla and submit it to the same thread.
Seems to have been forgotten in the last two weeks, might catch someones attention again.

Edit;
Just out of interest, have you seen this?
I haven't tried it yet, as emelfm2 fullfils my needs quite nicely, but I think it's worth a look.

Only problem is the last update was january '04, so it's probably kinda dead.
