RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2016:2291 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE matchbox-window-manager bug fix and enhancement update 2016-11-03 13:37:44 UTC

Description Marc Sauton 2015-11-24 03:06:45 UTC 
Description of problem:

trying to get a working lightweight window manager on RHEL 7.2
as I cannot find fluxbox nor blackbox nor i3 for RHEL 7.2 and in EPEL 7, I tried matchbox-window-manager, but it systematically crashes shortly after a vncviewer launch, when clicking in the top bar.
This is a KVM guest.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo)
Linux ipaserver1.example.com 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 29 17:29:29 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
libmatchbox-1.9-15.el7.x86_64
matchbox-window-manager-1.2-15.20070628svn.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
everytime

Steps to Reproduce:

1. install RHEL 7.2 from first release, from released ISO file
   RHEL-7.2-20151030.0-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso
2. yum install matchbox-window-manager
3. optional: edit /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients to add /usr/bin/matchbox-window-manager instead of /usr/bin/twm
3. xinit via a vncserver command
4. start a vncviewer session
5. optional: do if step 3 was not done: run matchbox-window-manager either from already launched xterm
6. click on top bar of the activated window, in my case it was Firefox

Actual results:

Floating point exception
Nov 23 11:44:00 ipaserver1 kernel: traps: matchbox-window[28700] trap divide error ip:7f60fb9ddcfb sp:7ffc71fa8bf0 error:0 in libmb.so.1.0.9[7f60fb9ce000+17000]

While this is a bug in libmb which should not try to compute new proportions of a pixmap image when one of them is 0, matchbox-window-manager could detect if img data is correct and use the generic icon when there's 0 height or width:

SELinux sandbox for X windows uses this window manager. I'm going to test it, if nobody complains.
