Description Matthias Clasen 2006-11-04 23:26:22 EST

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #213419 +++

Description of problem:
If you add a second keyboard layout (eg: US International), you get a seg fault.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-applets-2.16.0.1-10.fc6.i386

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add keyboard indicator to panel
2. right click, keyboard preferences
3. layouts tab -> add
4. select any other keyboard layout (I use US International)
  
Actual results:
Crash dialog

Expected results:
no crash

Additional info:
I see this on my up to date FC6 machine, both i386 and x86_64.  I have applied
the gnome-applets update (ie: 2.16.0.1-10).

Novell bug that sounds exactly like my problem:

Created an attachment (id=140032)
bug report from gnome-keyboard-applet

Confirm bug with gnome-applets-2.16.0.1-10.fc6

Okay, Sergey found the problem.  It is with libxklavier, not gnome keyboard
indicator.

See this:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370038

To fix, you need to recompile v3.0 of libxklavier changing line 264:

if (nodes != NULL && nodes->nodeTab != NULL) {
to
if (nodes != NULL && nodes->nodeTab != NULL && nodes->nodeNr > 0) {

There is an src rpm made available (see the
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370038), and I've also created x86_64 rpm.

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2006-11-04 23:28:24 EST

I've built the one line fix for this possible crash in FC6 and rawhide, and I
think we should also take it for RHEL5.

Comment 2 RHEL Product and Program Management 2006-11-04 23:44:13 EST

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2006-11-06 12:04:48 EST

fix is in libxklavier-3.0-2.el, r-e mail sent

Comment 4 Nicole Dai 2006-11-09 20:45:56 EST

Reproduced a crash with gnome-applets-2.16.0.1-10.el5 and libxklavier-3.0-1.fc6
with the following steps:
1.add keyboard indicator to panel
2.right-click-->keyboard preferences
It crashes immediately.
Retested the following steps with gnome-applets-2.16.0.1-11.el5 and
libxklavier-3.0-1.fc6 on RHEL5-Client-20061108.nightly:
1. add keyboard indicator to panel
2. right click, keyboard preferences
3. layouts tab -> add
4. select any other keyboard layout (Iuse US International and France Alternative)
No crash was found. Verified the crash has been fixed.
