sorry, but I do not believe this has anything to do with java. The "sed fix" workaround has been implemented with no joy
Hello, I had The same bug. So I used the woraround. This worked probably and all my java applications worked fine again. Now, I wanted to update my BOINC-client form v5.8.2 to 5.10.2 but when I want to start the boincmgr I get again this error. Workaournd dosn't work. As far as I know BOINC is NOT written in Java, but in GKT1 Greetings, Michi
Apparently, they have decided the only problem they have is a java bug. Im my case there is no java on the install CD. We dont seem to get the picture that this problem is larger than a java bug. We will as others try to install software. I am waiting for the pressure to mount from the user community. bug marked as dup, life is good, "move along folks nothing to see here".
I have already begun writing apologetic comment in the sense that everybody can screw up (especially when dealing with hundreds bugs at once), but now I am not that sure. Take a look at the upstream bug for bug 301691 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11390#c3) -- it explains that the problem is by far not with java itself, but it could be probably reproduced with any program which statically compiles some X libraries and not others (well, it can happen to any program which is not correctly statically linked). So, reopening and it will need further investigation, whether the problem is on our side, or with broken statical linking.
I dont believe any of us now think its a Fedora/Redhat issue. We are in hope that perhaps Redhat may have more influence with xorg that we (user community) do. From the xorg mail list it doesnt appear to be a priority with them. The latest editions of Suse & Ubuntu also have this problem. Somehow we need to get xcb patched in a way that will make everyone happy (if thats possible) otherwise 100's of commercial & open source programs will not install/run.
I upgradedto f8 and x-plane 8.64 now fails with xllib.lock error too. It was installed with f7 about a year ago. [ph@hal9000 X-Plane 8.64]$ ./X-Plane-athlon-xp X-Plane-athlon-xp: xcb_xlib.c:41: xcb_xlib_lock: Assertion `!c->xlib.lock' failed. Aborted The java workaround is useless here I think.
Hi, have the same problems with BOINC. I think the libxcb has to be patched with the sloppy_lock patch from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/libxcb.html. Would be nice to get this patch integrated in the next libxcb packages. Cheers, Markus

(In reply to comment #8) > Would be nice to get this patch integrated in the next libxcb packages. I wouldn't expect this (originally OpenSuSE) patch will be used as a permanent solution for Red Hat packages -- it explicitly mentions that it won't be accepted as upstream patch, and we try to be as close to upstream as possible.
A new version of libxcb (1.1) was released Nov 4 which permits the use of "sloppy_lock" environmental variable. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2007-November/003041.html Will this version of libxcb make it into Fedora 8? If not how long must one wait for a fix?
An update to Fedora 8 has been made recently (libxcb-1.0-4.fc8) that fixed the *lock* issue with java (finally). It may fix the lock issue with x-plane. (A patch references in Freedesktop 11390 was applied)
Great, thanks! BOINC is working now again on my PC.
I already got libxcb 1.1 from the dev repo & installed it. set the "sloppy_lock" environment variable and viola, x-plane installs and runs fine. Other than the spew of backtrace info that appears in the terminal window all seems well. Have not checked with version 1.0-4.fc8. To repeat, this is not just a java problem.
I am not saying that it is Java problem only. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 390261 ***
