** Changed in: cairo (Ubuntu Precise)
Status: Triaged => Fix Committed
** Description changed:
TESTCASE: unsure, upstream defines the issue happening with "weird
pixman formats", test that the update doesn't break anything and let
users who had the bug see if that fixes it for them as well
+
+ Regression potential: cairo is used by lot of softwares through gtk, the
+ patch mostly changes handling of errors which were leading to a code
+ stop to be less strict though which shouldn't impact on any normal run
+ case
Ubuntu 10.10
Apps that start fine on the console will not start when you connect via
Remote Desktop.
Examples: gnome-terminal, "add or delete button" in users-admin
Unfortunately, no errors messages are shown (reminiscent of MS Windows)
and there are no clues in files in /var/log.
I managed to start an xterm and then tried to run "gnome-terminal" from
there.
Here's the error message:
gnome-terminal: /build/buildd/cairo-1.10.0/src/cairo-image-surface.c:1294:
_pixel_to_solid: Assertion `!"reached"' failed.

+ experimental and quantal and is coming from upstream stable serie git)
