Bug 22517 – xfree-4.3.0-r3 does not allow ipv4 connections after ipv6 patch

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Slinski 2003-06-09 16:12:35 UTC]

After rebuilding the latest xfree, I am no longer able to use XNest or import
(image magick). Doing so results in a protocol error. While I do not need the
ipv6, I was merely testing it, I thought I would file this report since the
patch seems to stamp on ipv4.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="ipv6" emerge -u xfree
2. startx
3. import -silent -display (address) -window root address:display test.jpg

Actual Results:  
_X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for tcp
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for tcp
_X11TransOpen: transport open failed for tcp/192.168.10.10:0
import: UnableToOpenXServer (192.168.10.10:0) [Address family not supported by p
rotocol].
ERROR: Something is wrong. Please check your config

Peter, suggestions?

[Comment 2 Paul Slinski 2003-06-10 07:52:28 UTC]

I happened upon this via Google. Could this be more relevant?

well, basically, the patch does that.  before xfree-4.4 comes out, the ipv6 patch should get integrated.  x.org knows about the issue, and they're going to patch the patch.  nothing to do but wait, really.

[Comment 4 FieldySnuts 2003-07-18 08:45:03 UTC]

I also have ipv6 enabled in this xfree. Could this explain why it seems to take a much longer time for most apps to open? Seems to be a much larger delay than -r2 with ipv6 enabled as well.

[Comment 5 Paul Slinski 2003-08-24 17:09:13 UTC]

Since it should be apperent to anyone using the ipv6 flag that some apps wont work without the module loaded I'm going to suggest that a notice be placed before the build starts reminding folks to load the module first or some stuff wont work (Xnest, import (ImageMagick), etc.).

This really isn't a bug per-se anyway ;-)

This is well over a year old without a comment. Does anyone object to this being closed?

[Comment 7 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2004-09-09 11:23:56 UTC]

not really a bug, so closing
