Description Igor A Tarasov 2007-11-09 03:00:18 UTC

Description of problem:

I'm using Sun Java and Fedora 8 release:

[root@linux fedora]# rpm -q jdk
jdk-1.6.0_03-fcs
[root@linux fedora]# java -version
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)
[root@linux fedora]# rpm -q libX11
libX11-1.1.3-4.fc8

And no one Swing application work:
[root@linux fedora]# jconsole
jconsole: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.
Emergency stopped

Workaround is to rollback libX11 to package from Fedora 7 :
[root@linux !backup]# rpm -U --force libX11-1.0.3-8.fc7.i386.rpm

And all working fine again.
Please, fix the bug in libX11.

This bug also makes the Sun Java plug-in in F8 Firefox unusable. See e.g.
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373 or bug 353081, which
I'm going to close a dupe of this one too.

Comment 3 Luigi Tarenga 2007-11-11 18:44:51 UTC

instead of forcing the installaztion of the libX11 i prefer another
workaround.

install java in /opt/java from the .bin distribution then execute:

[root@bug1 java]# /opt/java/jdk1.5.0_12/bin/jconsole 
jconsole: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.
Aborted
(here you hit the bug...)

[root@bug1 java]# find /opt/java/jdk1.5.0_12/ -name lib\*awt\* -exec grep
XINERAMA \{\}  \; | while read a b c d ; do  sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' $c ;
done
(here you fix it, note: this is a workaround)

[root@bug1 java]# /opt/java/jdk1.5.0_12/bin/jconsole

and now it works :)

i hope that the future java 7 will work by default.

Comment 4 Luis Felipe Marzagao 2007-11-13 02:06:00 UTC

Same problem here:

[duli@localhost ~]# yum list | grep -i libx11
libX11.i386                              1.1.3-4.fc8            installed 

[duli@localhost ~]$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

This command line fixed the issue for me:

[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g'
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_03/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so

Thanks.

Comment 5 Aaron Hagopian 2007-11-26 15:48:22 UTC

Same problem for me too.  This is really annoying because the sed fix makes all
java swing apps totally unaware of my multiple monitors.

Please give this issue some attention.

I would use icedtea but it does not work properly with netbeans.
