[gentoo-ppc-user] Xorg problem (ppc64)

2005-08-01 Thread Cameron Blackwood 

Hi,

Im having problems that are X related... mozilla/etc/etc all barf on
some web pages (with international character sets I think) with the
following barfage:

Visiting:
  http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page
Crashes out with:
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ firefox 
  /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Failed to find
  a running server.
  No running windows found

  The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
  This probably reflects a bug in the program.
  The error was 'RenderBadGlyphSet (invalid GlyphSet parameter)'.
(Details: serial 94617 error_code 176 request_code 152 minor_code
  24)
(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.)
  firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (1)
  
Now, it _isnt_ a fire fox thing because im running remotly (ie, it
only displays to my ppc64, this is firefox running off an x86 and it
also barfs, where as its stable if displaying to the x86 display)
(Same behaviour with ppc32 firefox, ok on ppc32 machine, barfs on
ppc64).

I built a ppc32 gentoo chroot on my ppc64 and I can run X and visit 
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page without it crashing.

Rebuilding X doesnt fix it.

So it seems to be an xorg-x11 / ppc64 problem...

Has anyone had anything like this?

Anyone have any ideas?

Google sint very helpful on RenderBadGlyphSet errors.

Im about to try rebuilding Xorg -unicode... ? maybe that will fix it?

*confused and needing help*,
cam

Unless you enable SMP in conjunction with it (yes, even if you _only have one 
CPU_!).

nope. it's off. btw i suspect this very kernel option to be responsible
for massive heat-problems on my powerbook3,3 (which is a gen 2 tibook in
applespeak) but i didn't have proof yet since i was too lazy to build
another kernel with preemtion on after i had a working config that kept

What color depth are you running X in?  I recall having severe problems 
playing any sort of video in 24-bit color, so then I changed to 16-bit and I 
have no problems.  I do notice that when playing most videos the colors of my 
desktop background get messed up, but I consider that a trivial problem and 
ignore it.  (In a couple of hours the background changes, anyway.)


If you run "xine --verbose dvd://" in a command window, do you get any 
helpful information about what it's doing or where it quits?


 

xine doesn't quit, totem does, but xine doesn't, xine just plays a blank 
screen.  I think I am in 24-bit depth and I will look into changing that.

Thanks a bunch.

Have you emerged totem with the xine use flag ? (Maybe try adding the xine
useflag in your /etc/make.conf)

I am new to gentoo so first, let me say I am lovin it.  However I am 
also new to a source distribution, so I may need a little leeway with 
the questions I ask.

I have used now 3 different distributions, ubuntu, debian, and now 
gentoo, and in all of them the same thing has happened, whenever I try 
to play a dvd my screen gets a yellowish tint, my teminals that may be 
open get distoted colors, (usually red) for the text in them, and it 
won't play.  Has anyone gotten this to work?

I have tried totem and xine in gentoo and ubuntu, and the same happens.  
And one more thing.  I emerged totem, and that complained about needing 
the xine backend, so then I emerged xine and re-emerged totem, and it 
said it was using the xine backend, but at the end of the emerge it 
still said that the default backend had been changed to gstreamer, do I 
need to emerge something else?

hi list,

i just did an 'emerge system --deep --newuse -uv' which forced me to
unmerge firefox first since it was blocking something (but the update
went through without problems).

after that i tried to re-emerge firefox but it failed reproducibly.
these were ebuilds last words:

here is what looks like what went wrong:
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-g++: Internal error: Killed (program cc1plus)

but i can't see any hint why this happened. i googled for this error
message but all i found were old posts about ancient gcc versions on
ancient red-hats that threw this error on compiling $foo.
so is there anyone on this list who has seen this before and can give me
a hint what to look for or what to rebuild before retrying to emerge
firefox another time?

regards,

alexander
