Bug 88445 – windowmaker-0.91.0-r1 crashes when starting some applications

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Róbert Čerňanský 2005-04-09 02:48:03 UTC]

Windowmaker 0.91-r1 crashes when starting some applications (Mozilla Firefox, WPrefs).

Reproducible:
Always

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start firefox

Windowmaker then crashes and is restarted automatically. According to 'ps ax' Firefox is running but its window is not displayed. In file ~/.xsession-errors error message appears:

wmaker: raster.c:51: RCreateImage: Assertion `width>0 && height>0' failed.
/usr/bin/wmaker warning: Window Maker exited due to a crash (signal 6) and will be restarted.

The same it is with WPrefs (original application for setting Windowmaker preferences).

This is probably amd64 specific bug because on my old Pentium, Windowmaker 0.91 works fine.

wmaker strace -f output

[Comment 2 Róbert Čerňanský 2005-04-10 02:40:22 UTC]

Yesterday I forgot to add my emerge --info.

I've also made strace -f of wmaker. Here are the steps what I've done during strace run:

1. login
2. start WPrefs by double clicking on its icon (Windowmaker crashes and restarts itself)
3. kill X by Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (to make strace output shorter)

Strace output is included in attachment.


Here is emerge --info:

Can you try -r4?  It's going to go stable soon, and contains amd64 and lots of other fixes.  Please let me know if things work for you.

[Comment 4 Róbert Čerňanský 2005-04-11 10:39:53 UTC]

Excellent! -r4 works fine. Thanks.

[Comment 5 Armando Di Cianno (RETIRED) 2005-06-19 15:46:21 UTC]

Closing bug, -r4 reportedly fixes issues.

-r5 will be out soon-ish, fixing up some problems of the earlier fixes, then
hopefully a stable and fixed windowmaker ebuild can be key'd.
