Fwd: Re: [arch-general] [trinity-devel] x86_64 kdesktop.kcrash [SOLVED - it is glibc]
by David C. Rankin 12 Apr '11

Tim, All, Below is a backtrace and links to the full backtrace I get in Trinity kdesktop. There may be more than 1 bug here, but it looks like at least part of it may be in the Trinity code. Let me know if there is something else you think may help isolate the issue. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [arch-general] [trinity-devel] x86_64 kdesktop.kcrash [SOLVED - it is glibc] Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:10:41 -0600 From: David C.

I have just dumped a prior arch install on my X86_64 laptop and did a fresh net-install. Nothing but xorg (and dependencies) on the box. I loaded the latest Trinity binaries - no kdesktop crash, and it ran fine from startx. But the X resolution was 1024x768 due to xf86-video-fbdev being the only driver on the box at the time.. After going through all the kcontrol settings I normally use, I exited the desktop to install xf86-video-ati. On restart of the desktop, the resolution looked great, the desktop looked great, the kde useful tips window was fine -- then I cliced the 'Close' button on the useful tips window and my display ripped into little pixels wrapping the display around itself at least 10 times (the staggered checkerboard pixelation) Clicking in the blind, I was able to log off and was greeted by a backtrace on the console window. I started X again with the output redirected into a file to catch the error. The basic error is: <snip> COP: unregister 'kaccess' X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 7 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x2000006 X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 6 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x2000006 *** glibc detected *** kdesktop [kdeinit]: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00000000019b4020 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6(+0x71b96)[0x7fabc07e2b96] /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x6c)[0x7fabc07e796c] /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeinit_kdesktop.so(_ZN18KBackgroundManagerD0Ev+0x24)[0x7fabbac2fdfe] /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeinit_kdesktop.so(_ZN8KDesktopD1Ev+0xe8)[0x7fabbac23ba8] /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeinit_kdesktop.so(kdemain+0xc27)[0x7fabbac04dff] /opt/trinity/lib/kde3/kdesktop.so(kdeinitmain+0x20)[0x7fabbae9c77c] kdesktop [kdeinit][0x408728] kdesktop [kdeinit][0x409f75] kdesktop [kdeinit][0x40a866] kdesktop [kdeinit](main+0xa64)[0x40c1c1] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd)[0x7fabc078fdcd] kdesktop [kdeinit][0x4064b9] ======= Memory map: ======== 00400000-00411000 r-xp 00000000 08:06 904841 /opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit 00611000-00612000 rw-p 00011000 08:06 904841 /opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit 018a1000-0200f000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7fabb4000000-7fabb4021000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fabb4021000-7fabb8000000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 7fabb9847000-7fabb98b3000 r-xp 00000000 08:06 813482 /usr/lib/libmng.so.1.0.0 7fabb98b3000-7fabb9ab2000 ---p 0006c000 08:06 813482 /usr/lib/libmng.so.1.0.0 <snip> The full error is: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/arch/err/X/startx-messages.txt The corresponding Xorg.0.log: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/arch/err/X/startx-messages.txt No (EE). I have no idea what this error is. Something is going wrong somewhere on x86_64 with either glibc or libxcb. I don't know if the output from the startx command and its backtrace will help narrow this down, but it seems to be a generic X/glibc/libxcb issue. When using the fbdev video driver, there was *no corruption* at all. Then when I loaded the ati driver all heck broke loose. I don't know what Virtualbox relies on to create its virtual display driver, but this glibc/libxcb issue is present on both nvidia and ati based host computers. When the current build in the x86_64 laptop is done, I'll load fluxbox and see what it does on top of the ati driver, but I suspect it will be exactly the same. I saw this same display pixelation a week ago on a suse 11.3 box after the xorg files were updated. I had to downgrade the xorg files there to recover. The pixelation/display wrapping was exactly the same there. I'll follow up with the fluxbox results (expect the same), but in the mean time, if you have any suggestions of what additional information could help, let me know and I'll go chase it down. Thanks -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Some Paper Cut Bugs
by Darrell Anderson 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Anybody interested in patching a few bugs? The most serious 3.5.12 bugs affecting me are limited to kdelibs/kdebase. I would backport the patches to 3.5.12 and rebuild to test. Here is a short list of bugs that affect me. 293, Kde-config Incorrectly Creates a Profile Folder in the System root directory 385, Unmounted removable device icons do not appear on the desktop 387, Kicker/Panel Clock Font Display Looks Weird 388, KDESU Dialog Box Behavior 393, Incorrect kdesu Behavior When Opening Kate 394, Problems with DCOP After Using kdesu 427, NumLock light does not reflect actual state I use kdesu a lot. Those bugs are especially hindering. Please let me know. I'll test any patches immediately. Thanks everybody for your devotion and work. Darrell

Cmake: Help please
by Castro 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

One way to learn about Cmake is starting from scratch. So I started with kdeadmin, it didn't look like to big a project. Nothing like getting your feet wet by jumping in at the deep end. :-D The trouble is the water is above my head. :-( I have spent many hours on this one. A pointer in the right direction would be appreciated. [ 29%] Building CXX object ksysv/CMakeFiles/ksysv.dir/OldView.cpp.o /home/castro/Work/trinity-build/trinity-kdeadmin/src/kdeadmin/ksysv/OldView.cpp:22:20: fatal error: config.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [ksysv/CMakeFiles/ksysv.dir/OldView.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [ksysv/CMakeFiles/ksysv.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

Tim, Serghei, I know you both are working hard, but would one of you please provide an estimated date when the porting to cmake will be complete for all Trinity packages? Thanks. Darrell

Hi serghei, Hi all, This is my second day of learning about cmake. You may find these changes more to your acceptable than my first attempt. :-) See mods-kdebase.tar.bz2 Castro.

tqtinterface build system
by Serghei Amelian 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Hello, tqtinterface build system was massively reworked. Available options: QT_VERSION=3 or USE_QT3 - activate Qt3 support -------------------- QT_VERSION=4 or USE_QT4 - activate Qt4 support -------------------- QT_PREFIX_DIR - the place where qt is installed default: /usr For Qt3, QT_VERSION inherits QTDIR, _if_ QTDIR environment variable is set. -------------------- QT_INCLUDE_DIR - the place where qt headers are installed default: ${QT_PREFIX_DIR}/include/qt${QT_VERSION} -------------------- QT_LIBRARY_DIR - the place of qt libraries default: ${QT_PREFIX_DIR}/lib${LIB_SUFFIX} For Qt4, libQtGui.so presence is checked, if is not exists in ${QT_PREFIX_DIR}/lib${LIB_SUFFIX}, ${QT_PREFIX_DIR}/lib${LIB_SUFFIX}/qt4 is checked as well -------------------- QT_LIBRARIES - list of qt libraries required for linking Default for Qt3 - qt-mt Default for Qt4 - QtCore QtGui -------------------- QT_BINARY_DIR - the place where qt tools are installed (moc and uic) default: ${QT_PREFIX_DIR}/bin -------------------- MOC_EXECUTABLE - absolute path to moc default: ${QT_BINARY_DIR}/moc -------------------- UIC_EXECUTABLE - absolute path to uic default: ${QT_BINARY_DIR}/uic -------------------- Note: PKGCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR is defaulted to /usr/lib${LIB_SUFFIX}/pkgconfig, to avoid tqt detection problems. Note: these options are available only for tqtinterface, the rest of packages inherits it automatically from tqt (for example, you do not need to pass argument QT_VERSION=3 to kdelibs' cmake). -- Serghei
