Description Marcin Deranek 2008-05-20 21:24:30 UTC
After applying http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10725742/grandr-combo-invalid-iterator-fix.patch grandr compiles and works fine on amd64 platform, so could you add amd64 to grandr please ?

Reproducible: Always

Another patch fixing the same crash can be found at http://patrick.wagstrom.net/git/grandr.git.

Relevant bug in x.org bugzilla: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13701


grandr does not work without the patch at my x86 system too.

This patch fixed my problem with grandr crashing after click on left panel on my x86.

Same here (x86): grandr used to crash, but the patch fixes the problem.

Honestly, it looks like grandr is dead. I think it was just a test app until other utilities caught up.

I think I'll treeclean grandr if it really is unusable. If there's still interest in it, please get the patches applied by upstream with a new release.

Until then, it'll stay as-is until I either p.mask it or bump it to a new release.

Thanks
Comment 5 Marcin Deranek 2009-08-24 10:50:18 UTC
I must agree here. To add more: recent enought GNOME already has it builtin, so most probably that's the reason why it's not maintained anymore (grandr).
