Bug 131622 – gtkglext crash after closing window

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Brigada 2006-04-28 16:06:00 UTC]

I have gtkglext-1.2 installed.  When I close the window to quit a program I wrote, and then restart the program, my display freezes.  This happens both with the radeon DRM driver (I have an ATI Mobility M9 chipset) and the mesa software rendering.  I also tried one of the gtkglext demos (gears) and the same thing happened.  When I use the "Quit" button on the demo, and then restart it, the display does not freeze.  The window delete_event and the button clicked signals are both connected to gtk_main_quit, so I don't know why one works and the other does not.  Perhaps, the window is closed before gtk_main_quit is called in the former case, so the OpenGL might be left in an inconsistent state.

I cannot reproduce this with 1.2.0 .. a full crash has liekly todo with your driver/kernel setup . Try if the 'normal' glxgears crashes as well, it's in x11-apps/mesa-progs .

[Comment 2 Jean Bréfort 2007-02-25 13:59:38 UTC]

It's worse for me, the whole session crashes (tested with both gnome and xfce).
glxgears does not present this issue.

[Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2007-08-14 21:29:07 UTC]

beware that -O3 can cause serious problems in various libs and as such is not supported by gnome herd nor by upstream.

[Comment 4 Jean Bréfort 2007-08-15 05:52:57 UTC]

In my case, it is -O2, and it still crashes my session (most probably the X server).

[Comment 5 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2007-08-15 10:35:47 UTC]

Jean, what's your graphic chipset ?

I have a radeon 9000 (r200) and it locks up the machine from time to time even with recent kernel/mesa/dri. Although, if you could release some minimal sources to reproduce the crash, that might help ?

[Comment 6 Jean Bréfort 2007-08-15 10:45:49 UTC]

I have nvidia cards o both my laptop (x86) and desktop (amd64). Both are affected.
Any of the samples provided with gtkglext presents the crash, AFAIK. I spent some times trying to understand, but with no success, and as my session crashes each time it is really not trivial to debug.

[Comment 7 Robert Bridge 2007-09-06 10:53:47 UTC]

I had this problem on an nVidia GeForce FX Go5200 using the nv driver on a xen kernel, since switching to the nvidia driver, and the nvidia opengl implementation, I have not been able to reproduce the problem.

[Comment 8 Robert Bridge 2007-09-06 11:06:36 UTC]

I meant to add that I also changed kernel to gentoo-sources when I changes gfx driver.

[Comment 9 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2008-01-20 10:10:06 UTC]

Any updates on this? David? Jean?

[Comment 10 Jean Bréfort 2008-01-20 10:15:16 UTC]

I can't reproduce anymore. My feeling is that bug report might be closed.

[Comment 11 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2008-02-24 12:12:33 UTC]

can't reproduce the crash, closing worksforme
