Description of problem: Geeqie is not responding when started with the -r (--remote) option. Similarly, if an existing instance of Geeqie is already running and another one is invoked with the option the existing window freezes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.1-4.git26c4dad.fc33 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Geeqie with the -r option. $ geeqie -r Actual results: The Geeqie window appears but it is not responsive. The console output shows something like this: Remote Geeqie not running, starting... (geeqie:5742): GLib-CRITICAL **: 23:18:14.789: g_io_channel_set_line_term: assertion 'length_size > G_MAXUINT' failed (geeqie:5744): GLib-CRITICAL **: 23:18:14.789: g_io_channel_set_line_term: assertion 'length_size > G_MAXUINT' failed At this point I can hit Ctrl+C. If I do so an output such as the following appears and the Geeqie window becomes responsive. (geeqie:5744): GLib-WARNING **: 23:27:19.615: ../glib/giounix.c:410Error while getting flags for FD: Bad file descriptor (9) (geeqie:5744): GLib-WARNING **: 23:27:19.615: Invalid file descriptor. (geeqie:5744): GLib-WARNING **: 23:27:19.615: Invalid file descriptor. (geeqie:5744): GLib-WARNING **: 23:27:19.615: Error flushing string: Bad file descriptor Expected results: The Geeqie window appears and is responsive without having to intervene with Ctrl+C in the console. Additional info: There's been a GLib update recently. I wonder if it has anything to do with it. My glib2 version is 2.66.6-1.fc33.x86_64.
I see similar since an update the last 2 days. trying to open an picture (jpeg) from nautilus get's me an black window in geepie and empty boxes on the left side. running journalctl -f shows: ... geeqie[3965]: g_io_channel_set_line_term: assertion 'length_size > G_MAXUINT' failed ... geeqie[3969]: g_io_channel_set_line_term: assertion 'length_size > G_MAXUINT' failed doing "geeqie <name>.jpeg" in an terminal geeqie works as usual !
my case seems to be fixed with glib2-2.66.7-1 thanks
