Bug#763895: cinnamon crashes when a window opens

2015-07-14 Thread Michal Suchanek
Package: cinnamon
Followup-For: Bug #763895

Hello,

I upgraded the system with this problem to Jessie release and booted the stable 
kernel and the problem did not go away.

So I upgraded kernel, libdrm, mesa, cogl, cairo, muffin and Xorg to latest 
versions in Debian and the problem went away.

I can run a terminal and it shows a dropshadow and cinnamon does not crash.

So that's it. I guess kernel, libdrm and mesa are most important here.


Thanks

Michal

 It's dying at the time a window opens. Is starting a compositing manager

 Either way, it looks like Mesa sends something unintelligible to the

 I don't know why you are running gnome-panel, but that's not cinnamon

 It starts automagically when cinnamon fails.

 Can you please let us know if you can use any composite window manager at 
 all?

 Presumably I am running a compositing manager because xcompmgr refuses
 to start on the excuse that a compositing manager is running.

 Is metacity doing compositing?

 Also, there are no traces of evitvte or the file manager failing in this 
 log.

 They aren't really failing. They just open a window that makes cinnamon
 crash and keep running.

 The file manager is running anyway so there would be no trace of it in the 
 log.

 Can someone test with cinnamon 2.6 please? Cinnamon and muffin have
 commits with fix/improvements probably related.



I'm unable to reproduce crashes in recent cinnamon builds.
If I understand/remember good about bug reported here was solved
upstream but is possible that may still occur with some video card/driver.
I tried with integrate intel video card.
Can someone try cinnamon 2.6.12-1 (and all other components updated) in
sid and report if still happen?
If still happen and you have nvidia or ati card can you try also both

Bug#763895: cinnamon crashes when a window opens

2014-10-03 Thread Michal Suchanek
Package: cinnamon
Version: 2.2.16-3
Severity: important

Hello,

after finally running cinnamon I tried to open a terminal (evilvte) and
cinnamon immediately crashed. I tried restarting it grom that fallback mode
dialog but it crashed immediately again. Closing the terminal window allowed
cinnamon to be restarted. I suspected evilvte is in some way truly evil and
kills cinnamon but I created a new folder on the desktop, opened it, and
cinnamon crashed again when the file manager window opened.

Is it possible to run applications in cinnamoni as packeged in Debian?

Thanks

Michal

 I think the video driver you are using is dying when the composite manager
 tries to start.

It's dying at the time a window opens. Is starting a compositing manager
delayed until that point?

Either way, it looks like Mesa sends something unintelligible to the
GPU.

They talked about reworking and adding some new features to r100 so
maybe there is an awesome new bug there.

 Mmh, and it also dies in the fallback mode.

  Sorry
 
 That's the end of the cinnamon session.

 I don't know why you are running gnome-panel, but that's not cinnamon related.
 So, this seems to be another desktop environment session, did you start it or
 was automatically started?

It starts automagically when cinnamon fails.

 Can you please let us know if you can use any composite window manager at all?
 

Presumably I am running a compositing manager because xcompmgr refuses
to start on the excuse that a compositing manager is running.

Is metacity doing compositing?

 Also, there are no traces of evitvte or the file manager failing in this log.
 

They aren't really failing. They just open a window that makes cinnamon
crash and keep running.

The file manager is running anyway so there would be no trace of it in the log.

Thanks

Michal
