Hi all
I just tried to upgrade my qemu virtual machine to glib 2.68.0, which
lead to lxdm/X not starting anymore. /var/log/lxdm.log reports:
MESA-LOADER: failed to open bochs-drm:
/opt/X11/lib/dri/bochs-drm_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory (search paths /opt/X11/lib/dri)
failed to load driver: bochs-drm
The file /opt/X11/lib/dri/bochs-drm_dri.so really does not exist, but
with older glib (2.66.8) this is no problem.
A downgrade to glib 2.66.8 does actually fix the problem, so glib 2.68.0
really seems to be the problem here. I will try to investigate further,
but for the moment, I would advise people to stay away from glib 2.68.0,
at least on qemu vm's running X.
Just to be sure: the VM has been updated, but the host has not been
touched (no
upgrade of glib2/qemu/whatever on host).
Correct. I now read a bit about that bochs thingy, it seems to get
triggered by
qemu -vga std
I now switched to
qemu -vga virtio
which makes the message disappear. However, lxdm still fails to start.
dmesg now shows:
[ 9.140449] lxdm-greeter-gt[2868]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f0b73b4c73d
sp 00007ffefc16b600 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.6800.0[7f0b73b21000+87000]

So, there seems to be an incompatibility with glib 2.68.0 and lxdm. I
try to re-build lxdm with glib 2.68.0 and see if that fixes the problem.
If not, I have to revert back to 2.66.8 again.
I re-built lxdm with glib 2.68.0, it didn't help, so the problem clearly
lies with lxdm/latest glib, tne bochs thing probably just was a warning
and not the cause of the error. I assume therefore, it is not related to
qemu at all, but only to lxdm. I try to find out something on lxdm
forums or whatever, maybe there's a patch.
Bye
Tim
