Bug 354953 – xfce-extra/xfce4-xkb-plugin segfault with xfce-base/xfce4-panel-4.8

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sergey S. Starikoff 2011-02-15 06:23:03 UTC]

I'm using xfce-extra/xfce4-xkb-plugin in _text_ mode.
The issue appeared after upgrade to XFce-4.8.0.
But for the first time xfce4-xkb-plugin was successfully restarted by xfce-base/xfce4-panel.

Now (after yesterday's upgrade of the system) xfce-base/xfce4-panel-4.8.0 fails to restart xfce-extra/xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.5.3.3-r9
But re-adding xfce4-xkb-plugin to the panel works as it should.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start xfce4-xkb-plugin with XFce-4.8.0;
2. Switch xfce4-xkb-plugin in text mode display;
3. Wait (from about 1 hour up to 2-3 hours).

Actual Results:  
xfce4-xkb-plugin crashes (currently xfce4-panel fails to restart it).

Expected Results:  
xfce4-xkb-plugin should work without any crashes

In default configuration I see the following records in syslog:
Feb 15 09:03:53 ftn kernel: xfce4-xkb-plugi[4072]: segfault at 1606 ip b6f9e5f3 sp bfd64e8c error 4 in libc-2.11.2.so[b6f29000+13f000]

Should I try to get some debug info (USE="debug" for xfce-extra/xfce4-xkb-plugin) and what should I do?

[Comment 1 Sergey S. Starikoff 2011-02-16 14:19:26 UTC]

Excuse me.
It't my mistake.
Ysterday, while check before reporting this bug I've rebuilt (emerge -av1 xfce-extra/xfce4-xkb-plugin) the xfce-extra/xfce4-xkb-plugin, but not restarted XFce.
Today, after complete system restart (I'm using Gentoo on workstation), during more than 7 hours I've seen no crashes of xfce-extra/xfce4-xkb-plugin.

The most strange here is that I remember, this plugin was rebuilt while upgrading to XFce-4.8.
But for the first time it don't help. What looks strange...

Please, unmask it and mark this bug as something like INVALID.

Hello!

xfce4-xkb-plugin works great for me on AMD64 and fresh xfce.
Maybe you can leave this software in tree?

Thanks.

[Comment 3 Vasiliy Yeremeyev 2011-03-02 13:28:43 UTC]

xfce4-xkb-plugin dropped part of its configuration sometimes (not reproducible) but it works fine. I'd like to vote for leaving it in the tree. May be I can help a little if there is no maintainer.

Closing per Comment #1.

[Comment 5 Sergey S. Starikoff 2011-03-14 06:49:26 UTC]

(In reply to comment #1)

But...
On x86 it still sometimes (much more rarely than at the time, I've opened this bug) it still crashes.
