Description Klaus Ethgen 2022-07-23 13:18:03 UTC
I use X inside of a qemu system on gentoo linux.

Since version 21.1.3 and 21.1.4, I only get a crash with segmentation fault:

Why+is+the+title+written+like+this?
Comment 2 Klaus Ethgen 2022-07-24 05:50:24 UTC
Oh, cause I had to again fish out the content from the dev console as I missed again the component (Which is always the same) and bugzilla is so stupid and would drop all I already described.

And I just forgot to replace the + by spaces.

Comment 5 Klaus Ethgen 2022-09-17 08:21:11 UTC
Today I seen the following mask:
---
!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.20-r2::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Matt Turner <mattst88@gentoo.org> (2022-08-29)
# Unpatched security vulerabilities. Bug #857780.
# Removal on 2022-09-29.

- x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.14-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
---

As this packages are the last working inside qemu using qxl I strongly request to remove that masks and not removing that packages!
Comment 6 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-09-17 18:01:29 UTC
Can you report the issue upstream please?
Comment 7 Klaus Ethgen 2022-09-17 18:03:21 UTC
How? I do not know how to report it upstream.

Comment 10 Klaus Ethgen 2022-09-17 18:21:14 UTC
I seems to have no access to their gitlab issues as it is all empty for me.

I also don't have an account there.

Moreover, I am not native english speaker...
Comment 11 Klaus Ethgen 2022-09-17 18:21:56 UTC
Could you show me that patch? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-qxl/-/merge_requests/9 doesn't show anything useful.

This is probably because you have JavaScript disabled.

After applying the patch to /etc/portage/patches/x11-base/xf86-video-qxl-0.1.5_p20200205/9.patch I get the same error:

Hrmpf, I find out it is a different group.

Lets try again.
Comment 16 Klaus Ethgen 2022-09-18 07:50:56 UTC
So, After applying the patch to the right package (x11-drivers/xf86-video-qxl) it starts but the screen is only size 720x400 and is fully color ocker.

The logfile shows now:
