Description Manfred Knick 2023-11-10 17:06:13 UTC

Successfully running a 2x2 Wayland / wlroots / dwl desktop for a long period
on an otherwise essentially "stable" system,
dev-libs/bemenu-9999 suddenly fails after a re-emerge.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start dwl
2. <Alt>-p

Actual Results:  
no reaction

Expected Results:  
show bemenu selection bar

Calling bemenu-run from a command line:

. . . $ /usr/bin/bemenu-run

. . . wayland: mmap failed
. . . could not get next buffer

Re-emerging the tool-chain listed below succeeds without any errors at all,
but nevertheless fails expectations.

Cleanly re-emerge with only one singe thread grants no improvement.


Switching back to "~" dev-libs/bemenu-0.6.16:0   <-----      :-)
re-provides the expected behaviour.

You'll have to see if there were any recent upstream changes or what packages changed since you last emerged it.

My suspect so far:

Does reverting it help? I wouldn't expect it to but it's possible (I can't see the context easily on mobile).

Comment 4 Manfred Knick 2023-11-10 18:31:44 UTC

upstream: https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu/issues/370

Comment 5 gentoo 2023-11-13 14:54:41 UTC

Ran into the same issue.
I reverted wayland and wayland-protocols back but still got the same error.

It seems bemenu commit c22cc64 is causing the issue.

Bemenu works again after rebuilding with commit eb92e7b.

Comment 6 Leonardo Hernández Hernández 2023-11-20 05:57:16 UTC

This is fixed by https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu/pull/368
