[Bug 1852985] Re: X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
I've found that this bugs affects applications other than gitk. I'm developing an FLTK application in Rust, and I get the same problem when my app displays a list of emojis (via hold browser widget). Regarding the solutions: - installing `unifonts` had no effect - installing `fonts-symbola` had no effect - uninstalling `fonts-noto-color-emoji` solved the problem, although the emojis are printed in black and white, and are very difficult to recognize I'm on Ubuntu MATE 20.04.4, for reference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852985 Title: X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/1852985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I hit this problem today (Ubuntu 20.04.03, fully updated) out of the blue. My Python Tkinter program started crashing at startup immediately with the reported error. The problem disappeared the moment I ran the `sudo apt purge fonts-noto- color-emoji`.

`sudo apt install unifont` and restarting the computer does **not** solve the problem for me, and it can still be reproduced via: ``` git init testrepo cd testrepo git commit --allow-empty -m gitk ``` This might be because I also have manually installed `~/.fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf` in order to show color emoji. And the color emoji does show correctly in terminal (see attachment), but it will still crash gitk. ** Attachment added: "correct-color-emoji.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/1852985/+attachment/5497278/+files/correct-color-emoji.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852985 Title: X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/1852985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

>From my research, this appears to be a bug in xorg library "libXft" related to its lack of support for coloured emoji. It's logged as an issue in the libxft project (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/issues/6) and has a pending merge request (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/merge_requests/1). Related discussions: * Bug report on noto-emoji, concluding that it's not a noto-emoji bug: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/issues/183 * On the git mailing list: https://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg379512.html * On StackExchange: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/629281/gitk-crashes-when-viewing-commit-containing-emoji-x-error-of-failed-request-ba/644680#644680 As mentioned by Bernd above, a workaround that seems to work is to uninstall the `fonts-noto-color-emoji` package (`apt remove --purge fonts-noto-color-emoji`). I can confirm that uninstalling `fonts-noto-color-emoji` resolved the problem for me (on Ubuntu 20.04). P.S. Since people talked above about emoji in commit messages, it's worth noting that this bug probably triggers from characters anywhere in the commit's diff, even if no such emoji are present in the commit message. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/issues #6 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/issues/6 ** Bug watch added: github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/issues #183 https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/issues/183 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852985 Title: X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/1852985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
