Hello, After compiling sugar with jhbuild in Fedora 16, I'm tryin to run the emulator but I'm getting this error: "Failed to start server. Please check output above for any message" A window appears and dissappears twice with the title "Sugar in a window" and then this: * http://www.diigo.com/item/image/1msf9/rojc?size=o I'm running Fedora 16 inside a VM with QEMU (kvm). Do you know what's happening here and how to solve it?
Manuel (and other folks CC'ed), Based on your screenshot and the fact that you're running Xephyr inside KVM, I suspect that you're running into the (still open!) Xephyr-in-KVM-segfault bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32765 in its Fedora form: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518960 If I'm right, then you can probably fix the segfault you're seeing with a patch similar to the one attached to the second ticket. As for getting this fixed upstream: @Matthew: according to bugs.fd.o, #32765 is assigned to you. Are you in fact the right owner for this ticket? @Keith: in http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/1327/, you asked Ajax for a tweak to his patch. Could you please spell out a little bit more explicitly what changes are needed, e.g., for those of us who are not yet expert X hackers but who might nevertheless be able to rebase, tweak, and test the patch...? @others -- I've added you to the CC list since you've all been previously involved in conversations about this bug...
