[Bug 119982] Re: amd64 vncconfig crashes
OK, here's the story. At one point, Debian's maintainer decided to embed XFree86 into the package because it didn't quite work with xorg. But when that version percolated to Ubuntu, we decided we'd rather use xorg, so we rebased vnc4 on xorg. (the particulars are not clear to me -- I'm scraping this together from bug reports and changelogs) Since then, the Debian packaging has changed a lot to keep up with the times. The Ubuntu packaging not so much. Nowadays, there are several issues when building our package (it embeds xorg 1.0.2, while Karmic is on 1.6; its xorg uses obsolete automake scripts which causes errors; it references very old packages in the Build-Depends line (including one that no longer exists)). David's report to Debian got summarily closed because he was using our Ubuntu version. I've opened a new bug about this patch, noting again that Red Hat had the same problem. Hopefully it won't be closed. Will update the Debian bug task when their bts assigns my bug a number. So ideally, our packaging would be updated to the new xorg and fix the various build issues. Realistically, that's not happening before Karmic (we're too close to release and it would not just be a bug fix at that point). It may be possible to get the package into shape, but only on a superficial level (would still use ancient xorg). Omer, thanks for the patch. One tip is that you should use patch tags rather than prose (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PatchTaggingGuidelines). But I was delighted to see any description of the patch at all. :) Also, rather than apply a patch that doesn't unapply itself when running 'clean', it's just as fine to apply the patch directly if the package doesn't have a patch system. So, I'm not applying anything yet. To fix this for Karmic, we'd have to have a patch that removed the mesa-swx11-source Build-Depend (I think it's a safe removal?) and that added a patch to the embedded xorg configure.ac (the current package has an example patch to xorg already -- just copy that pattern) to fix use of AC_SUBST (ala http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg- commit/2008-April/015845.html). There may be more issues lurking. And that's the story of why this bug has managed to stuck around over several major releases. -- amd64 vncconfig crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119982 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

[Bug 119982] Re: amd64 vncconfig crashes
After walking away last night angry and disgusted about the state of vnc4 support in Ubuntu, it occurred to me that I could the regular Debian version of the package. I obtained the Debian source package for vnc4 for lenny from: http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/vnc4 I then manually patched unix/xc/programs/Xserver/vnc/vncExtInit.cc. (I moved the include of XserverDesktop.h to immediately after the include of stdio.h.) Finally, I built the package in the usual manner: debuild -us uc There are only two binary packages built from the Debian version of vnc4: vnc4server and xvnc4viewer. I uninstalled the Ubuntu vnc4server and vnc4-common binary packages (using apt-get purge), and then used dpkg to install the binary packages that I had just built. I am happy to report that everything appears to be working fine. The vnc4config tool no longer crashes on startup, and I can now happily cut- and-paste from my vnc session. -- amd64 vncconfig crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119982 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

Thankfully, since nothing has changed in vnc4server, Dossy Shiobara's Gutsy patch (above) also works just fine for Hardy. I followed a slightly different procedure: - Download Dossy's vnc4-amd64-vncconfig-bug-119982.patch above - Become root - Make sure /etc/apt/sources.list has a deb-src line to match its deb line for the main Ubuntu archive, including the universe label. For example: deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe main restricted $ apt-get update # (necessary if you modified sources.list) $ apt-get build-dep vnc4server $ apt-get source vnc4server # (runs dpkg-source -x automagically) $ patch -p0 /path/to/vnc4-amd64-vncconfig-bug-119982.patch $ cd vnc4-4.1.1+xorg1.0.2 $ debian/rules binary $ dpkg -i ../vnc4server_4.1.1+xorg1.0.2-0ubuntu7_amd64.deb -- amd64 vncconfig crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119982 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

Ditto. This is (still!) broken on amd64 Hardy. Even though the bug was diganosed and fixed in Fedora in Oct 2006 and on this ticket Oct 2007.

It was actually reported on June 12, 2007 (ie a year and a day ago). I don't know how you actually get bugs like this fixed where the program crashes so any changes won't make things worse. (I have another bug in another package again with a one line fix otherwise the program crashes and it too has been in 3 consecutive Ubuntu releases with no update in sight.) -- amd64 vncconfig crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119982 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

I just applied the patch on Gutsy amd64, and I'm happy to say that after restarting vnc4server, vnc4config now works as expected.

[Bug 119982] Re: amd64 vncconfig crashes
It would be nice if the Ubuntu folks actually applied the fix. The program is obviously broken, enough people have seen it, and Redhat have confirmed it and the fix. The issue has been present in 3 Ubuntu releases and now looks like it will also be present in Hardy. Sadly this isn't an isolated incident - another bug I reported has a 5 character fix, program always crashes etc and looks like it won't be fixed for Hardy either. -- amd64 vncconfig crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119982 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

The vnc4 package no longer builds on Hardy. See bug 184225.

This problem still exists in Gutsy 64 bit. I linked to the two line fix in the description (move a #include to earlier in the file). I'll try to update the metadata for this ticket. For importance, the program doesn't even run.
