Description Stephen Isaac 2004-04-25 09:24:24 UTC
On running Gnometris from command line or application menu, gnometris fails to start with 'The Application "gnometris" has quit unexpectedly. I've got AMD 64 processor and emerged Gnome 2.6 a week or so ago from 2004.0 base build. I'm quite new to Linux (1 year) and Gentoo (two months) so hopefully this isn't something I've screwed up myself.

Running from the Command line I have a few warnings about:
 Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "redmond95", (four times) and 
 Gtk-WARNING **: Ignoring the separator setting
All other Gnome games launch OK. 
Have tried changing my desktop themes a few times, but still get the warnings. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start game.
2. It crashes
3.

Actual Results:  
error window came up immediately.

Expected Results:  
Shown gnometris application.

amd64 guys, any thoughts on this bug?
Comment 4 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-21 15:36:16 UTC
gnome-games is maintained by gnome.
Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-21 16:40:57 UTC
Jason are you seeing the same thing ? Also on amd64 ?

Can you get a backtrace with full debugging output ?

Comment 7 Benjamin Schindler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-05 10:24:51 UTC
I just tried to trace through the program and foud some things, but not enough to resolve - I just would like to share:

I'm now working on gnometris from gnome-games-2.6.1 - it also crashes on startup.

Jason brought in that backtrace, and it failed on:

#5  0x0000000000407c5c in Field::updateSize(_GdkPixbuf*) ()

It's in field.cpp, it fails on line 61, where it calls gnome-canvas-new. The function updateSize gets called twice until the program crashes, it crashes the second time. The first time, field->w is not void, however, when called for the second time, w is zero which is most likely why gnome_canvas_item_new crashes. 
What I have not yet figured out: There is only one Object of type field in class  tetris and I haven't been able to figure out when the w member of field gets set to 0x1 (That's the value the debugger showed me)
Suggestions?

gnometris patch

replace 0 with NULL to terminate gnome_canvas_item_new
Comment 9 Jonathan Briggs 2004-08-14 03:38:42 UTC
The bug is because gnometris uses 0 instead of NULL to terminate gnome_canvas_item_new calls.  gnome_canvas_item_new is a variable argument function so it is very important that each argument is exactly the expected size.  0 is a integer.  NULL is a pointer.  On 64-bit systems like AMD64 these are different sizes.
Comment 10 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-19 16:03:54 UTC
amd64 please test & patch, thnx
Comment 11 Benjamin Schindler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-20 00:00:17 UTC
Sorry for not coming back to this - but I can confirm that this patch is working.
Comment 12 Richard Hoelscher 2004-08-23 11:37:34 UTC
I'm pretty sure this is the same as upstream http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148618 . Added link to this bug from there.
Comment 13 Callum McKenzie 2004-08-23 23:51:52 UTC
This has now been fixed in CVS upstream. Thanks for tracking this down.
Comment 14 Stephen Isaac 2004-10-16 06:05:23 UTC
Can confirm that this has been fixed and works in gnome-games 2.8.1 on AMD64
Comment 15 Stephen Isaac 2004-10-16 06:14:44 UTC
Sorry. Am new to bugzilla. Just realised that I shouldn't have closed this as am needs to be changed for everyone else that is sticking with gnome 2.6. Sorry - too keen. 
Comment 16 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-17 12:04:22 UTC
added patch to gnome-games 2.6.3
