I just used aptitude to upgrade my debian/unstable box (the previous full update was on 2006-03-19), and then several graphical programs are now having one same error. For some it is fatal, for some it only prints an error report.
These errors don't happen _at all_ when I launch windowmaker instead of kde, and I absolutely don't know if this problem is specific to my box, or due to a bug in a package (and then which package..) Just in case it could be hardware-related, my video card is a nvidia GeForce2 with 32MB RAM, and my screen is set to 1680x1050 (16bpp), I'm using latest xorg server, with nv driver. Here are the reports from a few various programs, hoping someone might point me in the right direction : -- firefox and thunderbird : crashes on launch with : The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 418 error_code 1 request_code 151 minor_code 23) (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.) -- gqview : crashes on launch, The program 'gqview' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 143 error_code 1 request_code 151 minor_code 23) etc. -- "gimp --verbose" starts OK, until I click "open" then crashes The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 19546 error_code 1 request_code 151 minor_code 23) - knode : reports errors, works normally X Error: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) 1 Major opcode: 151 Minor opcode: 23 Resource id: 0x3e00004 it seems all KDE apps work (printing a few of those reports along the way), as overall my kde desktop and usual kde apps appear unaffected. -- opera : reports that same error, works normally P.S. : I am resending this mail, as it seems first mail never made it through. If this ends up being a duplicate post, I'm sorry. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
