------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-04-27 19:13 -------

Unknown version 1.1.x in product nautilus. Setting version to the default, "unspecified".
Reassigning to the default owner of the component, nautilus-maint@bugzilla.gnome.org.
Comment 1 Alexander Larsson 2002-04-28 03:36:56 UTC 
Looks like something is busted with the Xft configuration.
Comment 2 Ben FrantzDale 2002-04-28 05:52:39 UTC 
This may be related: for whatever reason, after a recent apt-get
dist-upgrade, loging in with the Gnome-AA session stopped working---it
would send me back to the login screen basically instantly.

Also, I managed to get nautilus to work for some things: If I run it
with --no-desktop and with a directory other than my home dir, it will
work fine for a while... I can also sometimes hit stop fast enough for
it not to load my home dir, after which I can go on and use it for a
while. There are other non-home-directory locations that will crash
it, though.
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-04-29 14:26:40 UTC 
alex: should owen be cc'd on this, then? It looks like it is dying in
pango, right? [FWIW this isn't the first report of this- see also bug
78766.] Ben: do you have an XftConfig file installed correctly? Is it
possible the dist-upgrade horked your X and/or Xft installs?
Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2002-04-29 14:45:35 UTC 
This is a crash in PangoFT2. It uses the same configuration as the AA
mode, and it seems to crash while reading the config file. I think the
configuration file contains something strange. Maybe it shouldn't
crash though. 

Could you attach you XftConfig?
Comment 5 Ben FrantzDale 2002-04-29 19:46:00 UTC 
Created attachment 8035 [details]
My XftConfig file. I modified it from the dist. version, but not since this bug showed up.
Comment 6 Luis Villa 2002-05-01 12:20:35 UTC 
Reopening, then. Owen, is this xftconfig useful to you?
Comment 7 Owen Taylor 2002-05-01 14:26:12 UTC 
More interesting question is whether it is useful to 
Alex. (I've cc'ed him directly in case he's still way
behind on nautilus-maint mail.)
Comment 8 Alexander Larsson 2002-05-02 19:31:53 UTC 
The crash is repeatable with this XftConfig file at least.
Comment 9 Alexander Larsson 2002-05-02 19:35:50 UTC 
Looks bad. With that config file even gtk-demo crashes when i run it
in Xft mode:

Seems we should pass this on to keithp.
Comment 10 Ben FrantzDale 2002-05-02 20:59:13 UTC 
I just tried some things:
First, I tried incramentally commenting out my XftConfig file. Even
after commenting it out entirely, Nautilus would crash.

Then I downloaded http://www.keithp.com/~keithp/fonts/XftConfig, which
worked perfectly. What's weird is, I just commented out all of *that*
file, and it still works. I suspect it has something to do with Xft
not re-parsing it's file every time I run Nautilus... If anyone knows
how to force Xft to re-read the file, I'd be happy to try to narrow
down what's breaking it.
Comment 11 Keith Packard 2002-05-03 06:17:00 UTC 
Well, the good news is that there's no way it will crash in
XftConfiglex with current XFree86 CVS, or in MinXftConfiglex
once Pango has migrated to Xft 2.  Neither of those functions exist
anymore.

This (oddly) leaves me less motivated to find the actual source of the
problem, but I'll see about getting a fix applied to the 4.2 branch of
XFree86 sometime soonish.  Of course, if someone else had a suitable
patch it would get done faster ...
Comment 12 Luis Villa 2002-05-13 06:51:34 UTC 
That sounds an awful lot like WONTFIX, which I guess is fine with me...
Comment 13 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-06-06 17:56:47 UTC 
So is this won't fix than???
Comment 14 Luis Villa 2002-07-02 17:19:20 UTC 
Owen: I'm reassigning to gtk since this also crashes gtk-demo; based
on keith's comment I'm guessing this is wontfix but it is up to you.
