Update: After several days of stability, I had another sawfish lockup shortly after filing this bug... My next move was to mv all of /lib/tls out of the way and reboot, so that all applications use either /lib or /lib/i686... more sawfish lockups resulted. So I guess this bug can be closed, or perhaps amended to just "the sawfish RPM don't work so good." I am going to try rebuilding sawfish from source. Update: it turned out to somehow be related to xfs. I turned off xfs and put static FontPaths in the XF86Config. My desktop has been solid ever since. Sawfish has been dropped from Fedora Core 3, see http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2004-May/msg00054.html for some more discussion. Closing all Sawfish bugs for this reason. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Galeon/1.3.10 Description of problem: When I set up the GNOME environment to use sawfish instead of metacity, I was getting frequent lockups with sawfish. The X session would not crash, but the window manager would lock up and take the keyboard focus with it. I experiemented by preloading libc and libm from /lib instead of /lib/tls when I launched sawfish. It is stable when loaded this way. However I cannot use the key binding "run shell command: gnome-terminal" to create a new terminal window, I get this error in an existing window: gnome-terminal: relocation error: /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0: symbol errno, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference (The binding works if sawfish is loaded with the /lib/tls libs.) Creating new windows in other ways (the panel, command line) still works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sawfish-1.3-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. killall metacity; sleep 10; sawfish 2. sawfish will soon lock up 3. Alternatively do killall metacity; sleep 10; LD_PRELOAD='/lib/libm.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6' sawfish to see stable sawfish, but the gnome-terminal error. Additional info:
