Description jamie 2018-05-25 19:40:34 UTC
Description of problem:
xscerensaver-getimage crashes 


How reproducible:
Very 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait for the wrong screensaver to be displayed 
2. It will crash
3.

Actual results:
Crash

Expected results:
It works 

Additional info:
Note sure the priority since I have not tested it with a lock screen.(so I don't know if people's computers could become unlocked when it crashes).

Sorry, the backtrace always ends up being unusable but this happens frequently enough that I was hoping someone can fix it just the same.

Comment 1 Mamoru TASAKA 2018-05-28 07:47:36 UTC
Well, unless useful backtrace, I cannot debug the issue because for me xscerensaver-getimage works.

BTW current debuginfo rpms seems broken - it should be fixed in xscreensaver-5.39-5.fc27 so please use it:

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xscreensaver/5.39/5.fc27/

(I won't push the above package into testing repository for now - first I will wait for that you gain backtrace information using the above)

Comment 2 jamie 2018-05-28 13:58:19 UTC
Ok, I'll let you know when it crashes again with the new package.

Comment 3 jamie 2018-05-28 14:09:02 UTC
I don't know which screensaver is causing it too crash and have a bunch of them which appear at random times.

Comment 4 Mamoru TASAKA 2018-05-28 14:18:03 UTC
Then why do you know xscreensaver-getimage is crashing?

Comment 5 jamie 2018-05-28 14:24:54 UTC
Because it generates a 'Problem Report'. As you say 'debuginfo rpms seems broken', so I can't get a good stack trace. I am installing the new version. Oh, I accidentally checked the 'I am submitting the needed info' button.

Comment 6 Mamoru TASAKA 2018-05-28 14:36:39 UTC
Then with new package (xscreensaver-5.39-5.fc27), abrt should be able to generate proper backtrace and then it should be that you can submit such report.

Comment 7 Mamoru TASAKA 2018-05-28 14:43:43 UTC
If abrt are to open a new bug report, I can mark this bug as a duplicate of such new bug ticket.

Comment 8 jamie 2018-05-28 14:50:15 UTC
Ok, I have the package, so next time it crashes, I'll submit the report via abrt.

Comment 9 jamie 2018-05-31 19:55:09 UTC
Not seeing the crash with the new RPMs. Maybe it's an issue with the old version, in which case we should probably just wait.

Comment 10 Mamoru TASAKA 2018-06-04 07:37:39 UTC
If you still fail to see this bug with -5.fc27, once I am going to close this bug.

Comment 11 jamie 2018-06-04 13:39:41 UTC
Good thinking.

I'm seeing similar crashes on SciLinux systems that have xscreensaver-5.39-3 installed.

Unfortunately, this log is not useful.

Now once I am closing this bug. Once you can reproduce this issue with good backtrace, please file a new bug. Thank you anyway.

Comment 14 Mamoru TASAKA 2018-06-06 12:40:30 UTC
By the way, as I said in the comment 5, current xscreensaver rpm (xscreensaver-5.39-4) cannot generate backtrace properly. I've now submitted -5:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-9a7432f63c
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-94d01495e6

so that abrt can generate backtrace properly.

Actually now I guess I've reproduced this issue, and I believe -6 should fix this issue.
