Bug 12033 – Galeon refuses to run after Xft-2 + mozilla update

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Spider (RETIRED) 2002-12-12 12:28:47 UTC]

After a recent update to mozilla 1.2.1-r1, Xft-2 and gtk 2.1.x (ie, the whole
~x86  emerge -u world shebang)  galeon is more or less unusable.

I have rebuilt galeon afterwards.

I'm running a prelinked system (oh great, more factors to add to it) and that
actually doesn't appear to be the case.

calling "galeon-bin"  alone, will give me a browser that actually works, but
using the galeon script (/usr/bin/galeon) it will crash with the following message:


Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkentry.c: line 442 (gtk_entry_set_text): assertion `text
!= NULL' failed.
Gdk-ERROR **: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro
  serial 5662 error_code 16 request_code 157 minor_code 20
Gdk-ERROR **: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro
  serial 5663 error_code 16 request_code 157 minor_code 20

(yep, they are cut that way, really odd.. might be my term spooking me)


when launching galeon-bin only things appear to work.

same here; don't have a prelinked system

[Comment 2 Spider (RETIRED) 2002-12-14 06:12:14 UTC]

appears to be mozilla as well.. *cough*

spider@Darkmere> /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla                                     ~
Gdk-ERROR **: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro

spider@Darkmere> /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin                                 

something goes wrong there... uncertain of what.

Spider, any chance of recompiling them with:

  # RESTRICT="nostrip" DEBUG="yes" BUILDDEBUG="yes" CFLAGS="-ggdb"
CXXFLAGS="-ggdb" emerge ....

And debugging them ?  They work fine this side ...

Also maybe check that you have fontconfig-2.1, xft-2.0.1, freetype-2.1.2-r2 or 
later, pango-1.1*, gtk+-2.1*, etc.

all versions match as latest, really odd this one.

Will try the debug builds.

[Comment 5 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2002-12-14 14:16:48 UTC]

Spider, before you get too far with the debug stuff .. try mozilla-1.2.1-r2 ..

okay. the new moz revision fixed this nicely. all works!
