Description Richard H. 2022-09-03 10:30:29 UTC
Since x11-libs/gtkglext got removed from my system, net-misc/anydesk does not work anymore. The service starts, the tray starts, but the interface doesn't come up. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install net-misc/anydesk
2. run anydesk
3. try to open gui
Actual Results:  
double free or corruption (fasttop)

Expected Results:  
gui should pop up, as expected

reinstalling x11-libs/gtkglext restores function

Just to be sure: You are talking about net-misc/anydesk-6.2.0?

Yes, sorry.
Comment 4 Richard H. 2022-09-03 15:36:38 UTC
On another machine, I tried 6.1.1 and 6.2.0 both.

Although they don't seem to link to gtkglext directly, AnyDesk seems to be a GTK+ 2.0 application in full and therefore maybe the requirement. I can't find any support for GTK 3 in it.
Comment 5 Richard H. 2022-09-03 15:40:54 UTC
The README file in the downloaded distfile also explicitely states gtkglext as a dependency.
Comment 6 Jaco Kroon 2022-09-05 07:44:47 UTC
plastiekpoot [09:39:25] ~ # for p in $(pidof anydesk); do grep [.]so /proc/$p/smaps; done | awk '{ print $NF }' | sort -u | grep -E 'libgdkglext-x11|libgtkglext-x11'
/usr/lib64/libgdkglext-x11-1.0.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib64/libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0.0.0


Unfortunately I can confirm.  Trying to engage upstream.

If I explicitly uninstall gtkglext and try to run anydesk I get this:

[1] jkroon@plastiekpoot ~ $ anydesk 
Gtk-Message: 09:43:29.130: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 09:43:29.202: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
[1] jkroon@plastiekpoot ~ $ double free or corruption (fasttop)
Gtk-Message: 09:43:41.148: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"


anydesk --tray does run in the background, but it's absolute no-go on functionality.
Comment 7 Jaco Kroon 2022-09-05 08:33:21 UTC
Obviously I cannot re-add a dependency on a masked package.

Suggestions?  upstream is most likely not going to be helpful here.
Comment 8 Joonas Niilola gentoo-dev 2022-09-05 10:26:04 UTC
There seems to be a bump available, from 6 to 7 which looks pretty major judging from the number. Would that hold an update that helps us?

We'll either going to have to unmask gtkglext or mask anydesk along with it.
Comment 9 Jaco Kroon 2022-09-05 11:02:19 UTC
https://anydesk.com/en/downloads/linux#linux-downloads

That still lists 6.2.0 - I only see a v7 for Windows and IOS.

Would really appreciate if we don't end up masking anydesk.
Comment 10 Seong-ho Cho 2022-09-05 11:15:29 UTC
Thank you Richard H., and sorry to late replying.

I solved canberra-related problem by recompiling media-libs/libcanberra with gtk2 use flag.
I still did not find any dependency related on peripheral(?) libraries which are needed to run anydesk.

I guess that anydesk seem to have "direct dependency" to x11-libs/gtkglext,
I doubt whether there is way to ask Anydesk Software GmbH to rewrite Anydesk code based on the gtk3, gtk4 or not.

I can trivially add this as a dependency, it affects audio only as far as I've read up this morning (so I'm guessing USE=sound => libcaberra[gtk2]).  It's moot though if we can't solve gtkglext.  There is also mention of libpulse in the README.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.  But the one big issue currently is gtkglext.

If someone has access to the support channels yes we can ask.  So far I've not been able to log a query.
Comment 12 Richard H. 2022-09-05 14:07:26 UTC
This is the only open form I could find. All other channels seem to be for subscribers only. Maybe someone who has a subscription can chime in?

Even that link requires a customer id.

We'll unmask it if required, even if unfortunate.
Comment 15 Matthew Smith gentoo-dev 2022-09-06 11:37:18 UTC
Sorry for getting a bit carried away - I just checked with lddtree and did not double check with the readme or to see if it was loaded at runtime.

I will unmask gtkglext and re-add gtkglext as a dep.

Let's keep this open to block the tracker for x11-libs/gtkglext.
