https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652523 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652523#c17 --- Comment #17 from Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@novell.com> 2010-12-07 23:23:57 UTC --- Strangely, the problem goes away for me when I add the following to /etc/init.d/xdm. export LIBC_FATAL_STDERR_=1 Stefan, what do you think the chances are that writing to the underlying vt while the X server is up is causing this issue? When glibc is aborting, at least using these code paths, it writes to the controlling terminal directly - bypassing stderr. gimp was reliably crashing for me. As was totem, usually in the first few seconds of playing a video. With LIBC_FATAL_STDERR_=1, gimp starts (with visual corruption) and totem works fine. -- 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.
