One part of this bug is WontFix - Xinerama disables RANDR. Xinerama has been deprecated upstream, so this isn't likely to change.
The second part of the bug - where some apps crash when the RANDR extension isn't available - is where efforts should be directed. You should be able to get a useful backtrace by installing the gtk dbgsym packages, then running “gdb gedit | tee gedit.log” and, at the gdb prompt, typing """ set pagination 0 break gdk_x_error (say “yes”) run --sync (gedit starts, then crashes) thread apply all bt full (lots of backtrace text is produced) quit """ and then attaching the “gedit.log” file to this bug. -- Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0" while using -nvidia with Xinerama turned on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157319 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
