[Bug 1341829] Re: Cannot start vncserver in PPC Ubuntu 14.04 LE
Please attach patches in unified diff format where possible. I have extracted the changes described in comment #3 on this bug into a diff locally, and applied them to the version of tighvnc source in Ubuntu 15.04 (version 1.3.10-0ubuntu1). After applying these changes, Xtightvnc still fails with the same error as before: $ tightvncserver :1 *** Error in `Xtightvnc': free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0100231b5170 *** Couldn't start Xtightvnc; trying default font path. Please set correct fontPath in the tightvncserver script. *** Error in `Xtightvnc': free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0100041e8240 *** Couldn't start Xtightvnc process. [...] So it doesn't appear that this is a complete fix for a 64-bit build. The changes to Xvnc/programs/Xserver/dix/pixmap.c don't look correct to me, either. Relevant type declarations: typedef struct _Pixmap { DrawableRec drawable; int refcnt; int devKind; DevUniondevPrivate; #ifdef PIXPRIV DevUnion*devPrivates; /* real devPrivates like gcs windows */ #endif } PixmapRec; (Xvnc/programs/Xserver/include/pixmapstr.h) typedef struct _Pixmap *PixmapPtr; (Xvnc/programs/Xserver/include/pixmap.h) Relevant block of code (after patching): PixmapPtr pPixmap; #ifdef PIXPRIV [...] DevUnion *ppriv; [...] pPixmap = (PixmapPtr)xalloc(pScreen-totalPixmapSize + pixDataSize + sizeof(DevUnion)); if (!pPixmap) return NullPixmap; ppriv = (DevUnion *)(pPixmap + 1); pPixmap-devPrivates = ppriv; So pPixmap is supposed to be a pointer to an object of type struct _Pixmap; but it doesn't allocate it as a multiple of sizeof(struct _Pixmap), so what ensures that the further references aren't walking off the end of the allocated memory? In practice, it looks like the answer may be nothing. Has this patch been submitted to upstream? As it doesn't fix the bug when applied against 1.3.10, it would be good to see a fix accepted upstream before we try to patch this in Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1341829 Title: Cannot start vncserver in PPC Ubuntu 14.04 LE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tightvnc/+bug/1341829/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1341829] Re: Cannot start vncserver in PPC Ubuntu 14.04 LE
--- Comment From cha...@us.ibm.com 2014-07-29 13:54 EDT--- There are 3 major problems with VNC on Ubuntu LE. First, when compiling with gcc you have to use a compiler that contains a fix for gcc bug 61300 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61300 Second, there is a storage allocation error in Xvnc/programs/Xserver/dix/pixmap.c when it does not allocate enough storage. 129c129 pPixmap = (PixmapPtr)xalloc(pScreen-totalPixmapSize + pixDataSize); --- pPixmap = (PixmapPtr)xalloc(pScreen-totalPixmapSize + pixDataSize + sizeof(DevUnion)); The above two things will get vncserver to run if it is compiled as a 32 bit program. There is one additional change if you need a 64 bit vncserver. The header file Xvnc/include/Xmd.h does not properly detect a 64 bit compilation and uses the wrong typedefs/defines 55c55 --- #include limits.h 62c62 #if defined(__alpha) || defined(__alpha__) || defined(__x86_64__) --- #if defined(__alpha) || defined(__alpha__) || defined(__x86_64__) || ((defined(__WORDSIZE)) (__WORDSIZE == 64)) After getting the server to run I ran into problems getting any window managers to start properly (I tried several). I did not determine if that was from further problems in vncserver or in the window managers. ** Bug watch added: GCC Bugzilla #61300 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61300 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1341829 Title: Cannot start vncserver in PPC Ubuntu 14.04 LE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tightvnc/+bug/1341829/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
