Public bug reported: Binary package hint: goldendict
Goldendict hotkey scanning mechanism fails due to RECORD extension missing in Lucid. The bug is known upstream and elsewhere, but it really affects only goldendict for me. Would be nice to see it fixed as a lot of users rely on this package. Startup notification: Failed to initialize hotkeys monitoring mechanism. Make sure your XServer has RECORD extension turned on. Here is the console output: $ goldendict <snip> Xlib: extension "RECORD" missing on display ":0.0". Checking for the extension itself: $ xdpyinfo | grep -i record $ The reason seems to be the following: $ grep -i ^record /var/log/Xorg.0.log record: RECORD extension enabled at configure time. record: This extension is known to be broken, disabling extension now.. record: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20500 ** Affects: goldendict (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Failed to initialize hotkeys monitoring mechanism https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529117 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
