More notes. 1) I ran run this under the same args and sometimes it will fail and sometimes succeed. I am killing the window after each run, so I am not showing hundreds of windows (and so I'm not out of memory).
In this example, you see the same ags and they fail, then work, then fail! [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xterm +vb -sb -sl 10001 -bg black -fg red -fn 7x13bold Segmentation fault [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xterm +vb -sb -sl 10001 -bg black -fg red -fn 7x13bold [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xterm +vb -sb -sl 10001 -bg black -fg red -fn 7x13bold Segmentation fault 2) I noticed that this keeps showing up in .xsession-errors when there is an error. Unfortunately, I'm more of a systems programmer (think commandline), so I'm out of my element on what this means: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 19 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x3800010 ** Summary changed: - xterm segfaults if more than 9999 scroll lines + xterm segfaults randomly ** Description changed: + UPDATE: The fault seems to be totally random since the same args can + succeed sometimes and will segfault on others. See the 2nd comment + below. + Binary package hint: xterm xterm is segfaulting whenever I use more than 9999 scroll lines. I was previously using 50000 lines of scrollback and it worked fine, but now it's broken. I would have to guess that it broke with the latest version (229-1ubuntu1) because it has previously worked for me. I am running 229-1ubuntu1, I will try to run an older version and see what happens. Here is the command line I've used for testing, although the colors don't seem to matter: xterm +vb -sb -sl 5000 -bg black -fg red -fn 7x13bold --> Works xterm +vb -sb -sl 9999 -bg black -fg red -fn 7x13bold --> Works xterm +vb -sb -sl 10000 -bg black -fg red -fn 7x13bold --> segfault xterm +vb -sb -sl 10001 -bg black -fg red -fn 7x13bold --> segfault I will also try to get a core dump and update the bug. -- xterm segfaults randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219294 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
