Bug#457100: xscreensaver: cannot allocate any color - crashes X
Package: xscreensaver Version: 5.04-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Launching xscreensaver-demo gives this: $ xscreensaver-demo antmaze: couldn't allocate color black: using black. antmaze: couldn't allocate black either! When xscreensaver timeouts and tries to launch a screensaver it also crashes the X server. An strace reveals that xscreensaver tries to read /usr/lib/X11/Xcms.txt which is not available in any of the Debian packages -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.9 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xscreensaver depends on: ii libatk1.0-01.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.12-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libglade2-01:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-02.12.3-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice62:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-5Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml22.6.30.dfsg-3 GNOME XML library ii libxmu61:1.0.3-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm41:3.5.7-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender11:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii libxxf86misc1 1:1.0.1-2 X11 XFree86 miscellaneous extensio ii libxxf86vm11:1.0.1-2 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii netpbm 2:10.0-11 Graphics conversion tools Versions of packages xscreensaver recommends: ii libjpeg-progs 6b-14 Programs for manipulating JPEG fil ii perl [perl5] 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii wamerican [wordlist] 6-2.1 American English dictionary words ii xloadimage4.1-16 Graphics file viewer under X11 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

In that case I'm usign X.Org 1.4.0: Hi Jose, There was nothing wrong with xscreensaver, please close this bug. I've traced my problem to this: kernel was compiled with gcc-4.1 while the nvidia module was compiled with gcc-4.2. I've recompiled the nvidia module with the same compiler and everything is fine now. -- Regards, Emil -- Hal 9000: Dave, put those Windows disks downDave...DAVE! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
