Public bug reported: Binary package hint: awesome
I recently upgraded from 8.04 to 9.10 I had a manually installed awesome 3.1-rc5 installed previously and it worked well. after dist upgrade, I removed /usr/local/bin/awesome, awesome-client and awsetbg, also removed /usr/local/share/awesome I removed my .xinitrc on login, I choose "awesome" as the session type, but it fails to login and I go back to the gdm login screen. xsession-errors shows a segfault. if I login using a plain xterm session and manually start awesome, it either segfaults immediately or runs until I start an xterm from within awesome, at which point it segfaults. my hardware is unchanged since running ubuntu 8.04 w/ awesome 3.1-rc5 I have 4 monitors on 2 dual head nvidia video cards. I have tried re- enabling xinerama but it makes no difference if that is enabled or not. I am running 2.6.28-17-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 1 21:27:25 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux I want to rebuild awesome from the source package, using this command: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt" fakeroot apt-get -b source awesome however that fails due to unmet dependencies: -- package 'xcb-event>=0.3.6' not found -- package 'xcb-keysyms>=0.3.4' not found -- package 'xcb-icccm>=0.3.3' not found perhaps the ubuntu package maintainer had installed something else on his machine to get this to build? ** Affects: awesome (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- awesome segfaults on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500915 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
