Package: vim-gtk Version: 2:8.0.0197-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Either command in a terminal consistently crashes the X server: # gvim foo.txt $ gksudo gvim foo.txt I upgraded from Jessie to Stretch, which is when the problem started. The error message in the text console that appears after the crash is this: "glamor_largepixmap.c:1448: glamor_composite_largepixmap_region: Assertion `0' failed. xinit: connection to X server lost" Interestingly, starting gvim from within the file manager running as root (via context menu's "Open with") works fine. Also, these work fine: # pluma foo.txt $ gksudo pluma foo.txt $ gvim foo.txt It seems the problem is isolated to launching gvim as root from the command line. glamor_largepixmap.c is part of the xorg-server source package. If I should report the bug there instead/in addition to here, please let me know. I don't want to create noise. These are my package versions: vim-gtk 2:8.0.0197-2 xorg 1:7.7+18 If you need any further information, please let me know. gvim is my favorite editor and I'm in a terminal most of the time, so I'm highly motivated to help. Thanks. -- Package-specific info: --- real paths of main Vim binaries --- /usr/bin/vi is /usr/bin/vim.tiny /usr/bin/vim is /usr/bin/vim.gtk /usr/bin/gvim is /usr/bin/vim.gtk -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vim-gtk depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.52-3+b1 ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.4-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.2-2 ii libgpm2 1.20.4-6.2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1+b1 ii liblua5.2-0 5.2.4-1.1+b1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libperl5.24 5.24.1-1 ii libpython3.5 3.5.3-1 ii libruby2.3 2.3.3-1 ii libselinux1 2.6-3 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b1 ii libtcl8.6 8.6.6+dfsg-1 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20161126-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii vim-common 2:8.0.0197-2 ii vim-gui-common 2:8.0.0197-2 ii vim-runtime 2:8.0.0197-2 vim-gtk recommends no packages.
