Python crashes running these two lines. I can only reproduce it in a dell laptop. from Tkinter import * root = Tk() It happens on a newly installed latop, with Fedora 10 x86_64 updated. It doesn't happen when connected via ssh -X, only in the console or with vnc. I have installed python-debuginfo and libX11-debuginfo and ran python inside gdb. The output is this: (gdb) run gui1.py Starting program: /usr/bin/python gui1.py [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0x7ffff7fe46f0 (LWP 8025)] warning: the debug information found in "/usr/lib/debug//usr/lib64/libX11.so.6.2.0.debug" does not match "/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6" (CRC mismatch). warning: the debug information found in "/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6.2.0.debug" does not match "/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6" (CRC mismatch).

Perhaps this is related https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480742
Other tcl/tk applications are crashing also: wish, ds9, etc. I'm changing component to tk. Version: tk-8.5.3-4.fc10.x86_64
The bug #480742 show up after upgrade of libX11, which is not the issue here. In F-10 is libX11-1.1.4-6.fc10.x86_64. Could you tell me more about those crashes? I tried wish, ds9 and they are working fine. I have: ds9-5.4-2.fc10.x86_64.rpm libX11-1.1.4-6.fc10.x86_64 libX11-1.1.4-6.fc10.i386 tk-8.5.3-4.fc10.x86_64.rpm tcl-8.5.3-1.fc10.x86_64.rpm
Exactly the same: ds9-5.4-2.fc10.x86_64 libX11-1.1.4-6.fc10.x86_64 libX11-1.1.4-6.fc10.i386 tk-8.5.3-4.fc10.x86_64 tcl-8.5.3-1.fc10.x86_64 What's very strange is that apps only crash inside the gnome session (be it in a console or vnc). In remote with ssh -X they work just fine
Oh my, I always forget to check it in Gnome ;-)
Could you please try test it with the patch from rawhide? You can download it here: http://mmaslano.fedorapeople.org/tk/tk-8.5.3-5.fc10.x86_64.rpm or http://mmaslano.fedorapeople.org/tk/tk-8.5.3-5.fc10.i386.rpm
Yes! Applications are working now in gnome.
Thank you for testing. The F-10 update will be following.
tk-8.5.3-5.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tk-8.5.3-5.fc10
