Subject: X11 errors with Firefox on Ubuntu 18.04.3
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hello community, I hope someone can help me with my problem.
I login to a Ubuntu machine running 18.04.3 kernel GNU/Linux
4.15.0-58-generic x86_64 using "ssh -X -o ServerAliveInterval=60".
When I start Firefox I get the following:
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
[Parent 30374, Gecko_IOThread] WARNING: pipe error: Broken pipe: file
/build/firefox-qCOyDf/firefox-68.0.2+build1/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc
<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fipc_channel_posix.cc&data=02%7C01%7CRandy.Burrow%40unt.edu%7Ce4e4d1e113854ec2eb0408d724e23fd5%7C70de199207c6480fa318a1afcba03983%7C0%7C0%7C637018426478802054&sdata=zho0PfHUfFduRt2xtjBxPjEcxy5zVOo6HV5iSaD%2Bdh4%3D&reserved=0>,
line 727
Firefox continues to work for awhile or I quit and restart it or I
start another X11 application then I get this:
Unable to init server: Broadway display type not supported: localhost:10.0
Error: cannot open display: localhost:10.0
I can logout and then log back in and Firefox and other X11
applications will work again for awhile.
I verified there is a libgl installed and is the most recent. The
hardware is a Dell 7425 with Dual 16-core APYC processors, 128 GB
memory and the software was installed last week. Our sysadmin logged
into the machine with X forwarding from his Ubuntu workstation and did
not have any issues with firefox or other X applications at all. This
makes it seem that it is something Mac related.
Should I be looking for a different libgl library? Could there be a
Mac X11 configuration item that I could look at? I am running MacOS
10.14.6 on an iMac Pro that is 8 months old. I downloaded the X11
package last week with XQuartz indicating version 2.7.11
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I can continue to logout
and login, but doing that every 15-20 minutes sorta disrupts the work
flow.
THANKS!
Charles

Hi,
Known issue, many discussions on the web, e.g.
https://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/blog/2017/05/24/x-windows-and-xquartz-archer
Also, Note xquartz from
https://www.xquartz.org/
Is effectively no longer maintained and out of date. Instead the
recommendation is now to install it via MacPorts
https://www.macports.org/
sudo port install xorg-server

Hi,
interesting.
Let me check.
My Xquartz : version 2.7.11 (xorg-server 1.18.4) ? 2003-2016 Apple X.org
From https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201341
"
X11 server and client libraries for macOS are available from the
XQuartz project
at www.xquartz.org. Download the latest version available.
"
xorg from Macports https://ports.macports.org/port/xorg/summary
version 20090316
xorg is older than Xquartz.
I have installed xorg from Macports
"
xinit has the following notes:
To use MacPorts' X11 as the default server, install xorg-server,
log out,
and log back in.
"
Now how to use it practically without breaking XQuartz ?
Best regards.

Hi
xorg from Macports https://ports.macports.org/port/xorg/summary
version 20090316

Wrong place. I said install xorg-server.
https://ports.macports.org/port/xorg-server/summary
I have installed xorg from Macports
"
?xinit has the following notes:
??? To use MacPorts' X11 as the default server, install xorg-server,
log out,
??? and log back in.
"
Now how to use it practically without breaking XQuartz ?
first do what I said. install "xorg-server"
Then log out and in again.

Done.
After login, the X11 application automatically opens.
It is actually installed in /Applications/MacPorts
and could be opened also in the command line with "open -a X11".
About X11 yields "XQuartz 1.20.5 (xorg-server 1.20.5)"
which is indeed more recent than XQuartz advertised by Apple at
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201341
Finally, we are back to X11 as it was before XQuartz.
Thanks.

I have had a lot of annoyances with MACports and finally weeded my
systems of anything macport. Is there a way to build the Macports
version of XQuart to be "native" on my system without needing all the
Macport symbols and duplicate libraries?
