Description of problem: after while bittorent crash Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bittorrent-4.4.0-5.fc7 + bittorrent-gui-4.4.0-5.fc7 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start bittorrent gui 2. wait about 30 minutes to crash Actual results: first, this warnings is printed: looks like bittorrent doesn't uses recommended thread-schema /usr/bin/bittorrent:3761: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.threads_init is deprecated, use gtk.gdk.threads_init instead gtk.threads_init() /usr/bin/bittorrent:2745: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.threads_enter is deprecated, use gtk.gdk.threads_enter instead gtk.threads_enter() /usr/bin/bittorrent:2945: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.threads_leave is deprecated, use gtk.gdk.threads_leave instead gtk.threads_leave() /usr/bin/bittorrent:3768: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.threads_enter is deprecated, use gtk.gdk.threads_enter instead gtk.threads_enter() /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/BitTorrent/GUI.py:28: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.threads_enter is deprecated, use gtk.gdk.threads_enter instead gtk.threads_enter() /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/BitTorrent/GUI.py:30: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.threads_leave is deprecated, use gtk.gdk.threads_leave instead gtk.threads_leave() bittorent crashes with this error: The program 'bittorrent' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 7684048 error_code 1 request_code 0 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Expected results: nice full night downloading without crash Additional info: I'm using x86_64 always updated rawhide but I don't think that this is 64bit specific problem. Do you have any hints how get more debug information? Regards, -A-
The version of bittorrent in Extras is quite an old one so there's little to no chance of this getting fixed upstream. Unfortunately the latest upstream version has even bigger problems (see Bug #223623) and that's why we're stuck with the old version. The best suggestion I can offer really is either to use the curses client (bittorrent-curses) or try one of the other GUI clients in Extras.
