Bug 60159 – grip 3.2.0 always crashes with unexpected async reply from Xlib

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jonathan Geisler 2004-08-12 11:20:07 UTC]

Whenever I put a disk in my CDROM player, grip will error out with a line like:

Xlib: unexpected async reply (0x6df)

This is not an exact error message, since I've downgraded to grip 3.0.7 to confirm that the newer version was the problem.  The error is not immediate, but seems to be whenever I try pressing a button or when grip regains focus.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -u grip-3.2.0
2. grip &
3. put a CD in the CDROM
4. move the mouse around or press a button

Actual Results:  
Grip segfaults, but Gtk seems to try catching the error and offers to restart
the program.  Unfortunately, that doesn't work either and so the window just
hangs doing nothing while the CD continues to play. kill(1)'ing the grip window
does work.

Expected Results:  
run withouout problems.  see grip 3.0.7 for an example

Could you include the emerge info output? Are there cases where you can operate grip 3.2.0 without triggering this bug?

I have not found a single positive case where grip 3.2.0 would run without crashing.

works for me...  I think you're going to have to talk with the upstream devs about this as we can't reproduce the problem.  Please reopen this bug when a fix is found.
