Bug 259442 – stabilize net-irc/xchat-2.8.6-r2

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 329835
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2009-02-18 04:05:26 UTC]

This version is stable, adds a useful crash prevention patch for EXA/nvidia users. Has been in the tree for months. Can we get it stable?

I've done it on amd64 (been using it for months).

Unfortunately bug 246138 never got fixed, so the xchat input line now looks quite ugly by taking up too much space.

I guess I should say it never got fixed properly since the bug is currently closed.

then let's put out a -r3 with the *one line change* reverted.  xchat atm is unusable on stable nvidia x86 systems and the patch in -r2 fixes things.

$ xchat
The program 'xchat' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
  (Details: serial 389 error_code 17 request_code 148 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

IMHO, this bug should depend on bug #286146.
