Bug#838586: roxterm false on start up segfault

2016-09-22 Thread Tony Houghton
I've discontinued roxterm because the amount of work needed to fix 
outstanding bugs and continue to maintain it was more than it was worth. 
gnome-terminal is pretty good these days, and there are other terminals.


This bug looks like it's caused by an ABI change in VTE, which you would 
need roxterm version 3 for, but there was also another nasty 
incompatibility with GTK 3.20, hence its removal from Debian.


If you really badly want to keep using roxterm and don't mind missing 
some features you could try roxterm-gtk2.

Bug#838586: roxterm false on start up segfault

2016-09-22 Thread fisherman
Package: roxterm
Version: 2.9.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

When I start roxterm from gnome-terminal, it crashes with tons(>1000) of
strings like
"** (roxterm:28783): WARNING **: VTE's inner-border property unavailable"
and segfault. Numbers after "roxterm:" are the same in all strings, but new
after each crash.
Thats realy stange, becouse I hadn`t changed any options in my system or
roxterm for a while
when I found roxterm doesn`t work. May be problem is in my new themse for GTK+
(Flat - Plat)
and Gnome Shell (Sequoia-ng). I installed them in 3-4 days before first crash
so it looks like wrong idea.
Also I installed some packages for themse:
albatross-gtk-theme blackbird-gtk-theme bluebird-gtk-theme greybird-gtk-theme
gtk2-engines-murrine murrine-themes
but deleting them with aptitude purge, reinstalling roxterm, restarting gnome,
creating and reloginig to a new user
(with standart themse: Adwaita) and evean rebooting don`t fix my problem.
So I don`t know, what caused that error. According to the error string the
problem is in VTE,
but it doesn`t looks broken. Gnome terminal, for example, works with no
problem.

I forgot to say, I have transparent background in roxterm. May be that`s
important.

Thank you for your consideration.
