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.

Description Debarshi Ray 2018-04-11 14:15:28 UTC
libepoxy-1.3.1-1.el7 crashes inside epoxy_glx_version if GLX is not available. eg., x2go or xvfb. This leads to gtk3 applications crashing on start-up. Here's an example crash from gnome-terminal:

This was found by tpelka in the context of bug 1502788.

Note that bug 1502788 is specifically about crashes with X servers that use gtk3's RandR 1.3 code path, and xvfb uses RandR 1.5. All versions of gtk3 shipped in RHEL 7.x were fixed as far as RandR 1.5 servers are concerned. However, RHEL 7.x has a relatively old libepoxy so the start-up fails in a different way with RandR 1.5.


This was fixed in the following upstream commit:

commit a15a92c2cbe0a8f45a1ff6258b22957c17c7118e
Author: Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi>
Date:   Mon Dec 12 14:18:15 2016 +0000

    Ensure we don't assert if GLX is not available
    
    Certain X server do not have GLX enabled or supported, such as x2go. We
    can handle this case gracefully inside libepoxy.

Comment 3 Tomas Pelka 2018-04-11 14:36:30 UTC
Note that the same happen with nautilus and gedit, originally found when testing bz1565096.

Comment 4 Tomas Pelka 2018-04-11 14:47:14 UTC
Unfortunately with 
libepoxy-1.3.1-2.el7.x86_64
gtk3-3.22.26-4.el7_5.x86_64

Some more relevant fixes:

commit 7a1a79ec3b68857f8a0b1d26811fec2d00ea4fb2
Author: Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi>
Date:   Wed Dec 7 15:12:15 2016 +0000

    Avoid C99 declaration after statement
    
    The rest of the library is C89-only, so we should keep it that way.

commit 31a1fd9d6dcf298b7ed61ac06d54e6f9cd2dee03
Author: Yaron Cohen-Tal <yaronct>
Date:   Fri Jul 29 17:55:49 2016 +0300

    Check for NULL extensions string
    
    Some X server not supporting any OpenGL feature, glXQueryExtensionsString
    will return NULL and causes the function to fail.
    
    Thanks to Emmanuel Stapf (manus) for the original patch.
    
    This was verified running an application on macOS while the X server was
    running on Windows Xming 7.5.0.10

I believe bug 1395366 is the Fedora equivalent of this.

Ideally, we'd rebase libepoxy to >= 1.4, and use this gtk+ fix from gtk4:

Here's another scratch build:

Comment 8 Tomas Pelka 2018-04-12 08:57:07 UTC
Scratch build works. Are we going to incorporate into the same z-stream erratum for gtk3?
