Debian Lenny, pidgin 2.4.3-2, skype (via apt) 2.0.0.72-1, libxcb-render- util0 0.2.1+git1-1, libxcb1 1.1-1.1, dev versions of xcb packages are installed (total of 11 related libxcb* packages installed at above versions). As of September, this is still a bug.
However, this is NOT a bug with pidigin, as noted at http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6367 The relevant bug is registered at http://code.google.com/p/skype4pidgin/issues/detail?id=18 A search for the error message revealed this tip: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/blog/Vermind/2008-08-01/Skype_Pidgin_Plugin ... but setting LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1 does not solve this for me (or at least, it doesn't fully solve the issue; either it reduced my crash frequency or I've been less popular since trying it), and I'm less interested in a custom xcb-lacking build of libX11 (which would certainly solve the issue). -- pidgin crashes with _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245017 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
