I observed this message as well, but since I'm using startx, switch to tty1-tty11 very often, and update only occassionaly and only some packages, I thought it was my fault. But I'm curious what does the message mean. (Wild guesses: update dbus? make sure you rebooted since your last hal update?) Hmm, I don't know much what to do about this -- seems kind of too abstract. Could I get at least ~/.xsession-errors from both of you (plus versions of xorg-x11-server-Xorg, dbus, hal, libX11), please? Thank you Created attachment 329089 [details]
xsession-errors
I did startx 2>.xsession-error, and I'm attaching the result.
the rpms are:
dbus-1.2.4.2permissive-1.fc11.i386
hal-0.5.12-19.20081219git.fc11.i386
libX11-1.1.99.2-2.fc11.i386
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-6.fc10.i386
Created attachment 329155 [details] ~/.xsession-errors at a desktop session beginning I do not think that you will see very much in ~/.xsession-errors but here it is. If I will open, say, emacs, then immediately more of incriminated lines will be added to the fray but this is how it looks like just after I brought a session up. xorg-x11-server-Xorg is currently at 1.5.3-6.fc10.x86_64. See bug 478608 for reasons. But when I had 6.9.0-65.fc11 installed, and things still worked in some fashion, this was not making any difference. dbus-1.2.4.4permissive-1.fc11.x86_64 hal-0.5.12-19.20081219git.fc11.x86_64 libX11-1.1.99.2-2.fc11.x86_64 (which was clearly stated in the original report). An update to libX11-1.1.99.2-3.fc11 appears to make incriminated messages to vanish from ~/.xsession-errors and when starting applications from local terminal windows too. It also seems to solve, at least for me, bug 480867. OTOH when trying something like 'emacs' from a remote with X forwarded via ssh I still see: Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0". and after that an emacs window does show up. (In reply to comment #5) > OTOH when trying something like 'emacs' from a remote with X forwarded via ssh > I still see: > > Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Well, it just describes the reality -- you don't have the extension when running remotely. But we shouldn't repeat ourselves so much. *** Bug 477677 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Fixed in libXext-1.0.99.1-3. Thanks for reporting. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1308449 Peter, were you going to send out a F11 bodhi update for libXext? oops, must have forgotten about that. thanks for reminding me. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libXext-1.0.99.1-3.fc11 libXext-1.0.99.1-3.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
