Public bug reported: Repro steps: * Run "Xvfb -ac :99" in a terminal * Run "DISPLAY=:99 xinput list" in a second terminal
Expected: List of input devices appears (XTest, core). Xvfb continues to run. Actual: Xvfb segfaults in first terminal. This problem affects any user of Xvfb who tries to run a client that uses the XInput extension. For example, a user runs a new desktop session, and a session program tries to enumerate the XInput devices (or the user has a startup script containing any "xinput" commands). There is an upstream patch which I've verified fixes the problem: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/hw/vfb/InitInput.c?id=0e7703f9b1927328954a2fc87aac6be244819329 The version of Xorg/Xvfb in Precise has this patch (from inspection of the source tarball for "xvfb" package). We'd like this to be backported to Lucid ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: xorg-server (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #575905 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575905 ** Also affects: xorg-server (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575905 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933745 Title: Xvfb: any use of the XInput extension causes Xvfb to crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/933745/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
