Description Stephen Gordon 2011-10-06 04:29:11 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

empathy-3.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:

Very.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start GNOME 3 in fallback mode.
2. Attempt to launch empathy (from console to view stderr/stdout).
  
Actual results:

failed to create drawable

(empathy:2425): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to select the newly created GLX context

(empathy:2425): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'empathy' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 160 error_code 13 request_code 60 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:

Empathy opens.

Xorg.log

Not sure if this is useful or not, but based on a layman's interpretation of the error I am including the Xorg.log for the most recent session where I have encountered this (it happens every time, effectively I haven't been able to use Empathy on F16). Let me know if there is any other log/debug info that would be more useful.

Comment 2 Debarshi Ray 2012-03-07 08:36:27 UTC
Does Totem 3.2 work in fallback mode on the same machine? (Totem 3.2 uses Clutter too.)

Comment 3 Stephen Gordon 2012-04-02 15:40:35 UTC
Re-checked with empathy on the same machine in fallback with most recent stable updates for F16. Issue no longer presents.
