Simply try it with X :1 -query <suse111beta2> from a SLES10. (tested SP-1) The kdm greeter comes up, if I login my X11 server crashes: The X11 Sever segfaults: *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not *** be the reason for the server aborting. Backtrace: 0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x7e) [0x44895e] 1: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x2b4c435f3c10] 2: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x2b4c43630d24] 3: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x2b4c43631cc6] 4: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_realloc+0x11c) [0x2b4c4363310c] 5: X(Xrealloc+0x1b) [0x4ad44b] 6: X(SrvXkbResizeKeyType+0x3b1) [0x502d41] 7: X(ProcXkbSetMap+0xb0b) [0x4e6cfb] 8: X(Dispatch+0x195) [0x488765] 9: X(main+0x3fe) [0x4958fe] 10: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x2b4c435e1154] 11: X [0x430e89] The reason cost me some time of debugging, and here is the solution: In SuSE 11.1 (and most likely 11.0) the file: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common contains the lines: # Fix keyboard layout (Bug #368673) setxkbmap -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY This goes horribly wrong because xkbcomp uploads a _binary_ file into the remote X11 server -> crash. One possible fix is to remove that line in SuSE 11.1, I would vote for this. But as mentioned the line was added to fix another bug, I dont like to read the whole thread, so removing the line is a clean solution :-) Here is the thread for the bug in xinitrc.common: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=368673 I think crashing the remote X11 server on SLES10 is a major bug, so I marked it as "major". regards, Martin -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
