xnest segfaults in xorg 6.8.0, the given url points directly to the solution, the patch found there is already applied to the xorg-tree. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Xnest :1 2. 3.
This is fixed upstream guys, so do we want to pull the patch down?
well, how long to the next release? i need xnest to have a develop environment. why not release a -r3 and change that one file in that one line now?
I'll add it to 6.8.0-r2 as soon as I get a chance. It's still hard-masked specifically for this purpose -- so I can add patches like this before it hits the general public. While you're waiting, you can easily apply it manually. ebuild /path/to/ebuild unpack cd /var/tmp/portage/packagename/work patch -p0 < /path/to/patch ebuild /path/to/ebuild qmerge
yep, my "personal" xorg-ebuild does this already but i know some other guys who are really waiting for a working xnest again :) so, cheers if it will be included in a new ebuild.
I can't get the patch because freedesktop.org is down. Does anyone have it around?
Nevermind, google found one. http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:lPXShnb-CIAJ:https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi%3Fid%3D939%26action%3Ddiff+inurl:https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi%3Fid%3D939&hl=en
Added to 6.8.0-r2 in patchset 0.2.7.
Donnie, does this patch work for you and if so what type of machine is your client and which type is the server? Going from an ~x86 box to a stable sparc box with 6.8.0-r3 still segfaults for me (this did work before the original bug here showed up).
-r3 only has a security patch from -r1. You'll need -r4 for this.
