This is a delayed error, I think? glXCreateNewContext doesn't require a round-trip, but glXIsDirect does (the first time). So I think what's happening is creating the context fails, and then we send the IsDirect reply without first draining the reply queue to look for the error from CNC, I'm at a loss to explain why CreateNewContext fails though. How reproducible is this for you?
I was thinking that by this time the bug can no longer be reproduced but i was wrong. control-center keeps crashing. 3 of 3 consecutive tries.
I have the same problem, please tell me how I can provide info to help tracking this problem down and fix it.
This is the one program that should never fail!!! I've upgraded to Satirical Cow, FC18, and my life is now over! I can't configure or do anything now. I apparently can't switch to KDE either. ~$ export GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 ~$ gnome-control-center Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. (gnome-control-center:6722): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-control-center' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 196 error_code 11 request_code 152 minor_code 24) (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 GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
It crashes in cogl trying to initialise clutter.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
