[Bug 1658344] [NEW] Disabled display outputs may cause crash or hang at startup
Public bug reported: Here is the upstream bug report: https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/issues/618 It affects tint2 in all Ubuntu versions. It's a use after free, which leads to a crash or aberrant behaviour. The fix is trivial: https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/commit/f438ef712bbb673d58a448774446f148ebec4d8d Would it be possible to get this patched in Ubuntu? What should I do (I'm the upstream dev)?

[Bug 1448939] Re: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver
Regarding 3, I tried to fix this problem in the latest version (I'm the current dev of tint2). However there is no package available for 14.04, nor a PPA, so if you would like to try it out the only way is to compile from source. Normally I don't recommend this unless you know what you are doing, as it is sometimes difficult to remove from the system software installed from source and there are other things that can go wrong. In the case of tint2 it should not be so complicated. If you want to do it, here is a page with instructions: https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/wikis/Install#install-from-source You will have to configure tint2 in your startup applications to run from the new path (/usr/local/bin/tint2) and remove the sleep then relog. If it has problems please let me know. If you don't want to try this it's perfectly fine. I am just curious if this solves the problem in your case, which is a bit strange -- normally tint2 should just draw itself without transparency if the compositor is not detected correctly at startup; it should not dissapear completely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448939 Title: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can you reproduce this problem if you start tint2 from a terminal? If yes, it might be helpful to also see the output of tint2 when it does not appear on screen correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448939 Title: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1448939] Re: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver
I see. Most people add a sleep of a few seconds when starting it at startup (e.g. sleep 3 && tint2), because tint2 tries to use the compositor; however the startup applications might be executed before the compositor finishes initializing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448939 Title: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
