Please install vnc-debuginfo-4.0-0.beta4.3.2: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/debug/vnc-debuginfo-4.0-0.beta4.3.2.i386.rpm and run vncviewer like this: gdb --args vncviewer localhost:1 (gdb) run ... (gdb) bt and tell me what it says. Created attachment 100904 [details]
Output from gdb --args vncviewer localhost:1
This is the result of running gdb --args vncviewer localhost:1 on my system:
Dual PIII 550, 512MB, scsi, 2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp smp, XFree86 4.3.0-55, ATI
Radeon 9200LE
Okay, I installed the source, too. It seems to crap out on line 73/4 of tx/TXWindow.cxx: defaultFS = XLoadQueryFont(dpy, "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"); On the next line, the returned value is used as a pointer, defaultFont = defaultFS -> fid; but defaultFS is NULL, hence the crash. So for some reason, I don't have "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" on my system. I can provide a list of the font packages I've installed, if required. I assume the fix is to use a font that does exist, but I know nowt about X font programming, so I'll have to look this one up. Over to you guys? What does '/sbin/chkconfig --list xfs' say? Yes, the fix will be to fall back to something else, but I'd like to be sure about the reason the first choice isn't working. Created attachment 100949 [details]
Output of chkconfig --list xfs + others
I've put the output of the command requested in the attachment, along with some
other info that may be useful.
So according to xlsfonts the font request ought to have been granted, since you have fonts that match! So it's still a bit of a mystery that it failed in the first place. But besides, I have seen situations in which that particular font pattern can't be provided, so perhaps it should fall back to 'fixed'. *** Bug 131357 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Hi! I have exactly the same problem. But additional info. It used to work a few months ago. I constantly update packages I think important using yum or up2date. => Some update breaks some font aspect? Also!! I can still connect to my server from windows-client. And if I then start vncviewer from there ... It works! Clarification: Running vncviewer when the X-environment is vncserver appears to work! Running fc2 with updates on my server and workstation. Both behave the same. Machine is P4 (i686) /Jonas Please try the test update for FC2 announced here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-September/msg00049.html Does that fix the problem? I had exactly the same segfault after I upgraded xorg to xorg-x11-6.7.99.903, and it is solved by the update which works for me. I have apentium III. Looks good with vnc-4.0-5, thanks a bunch. |
