Hello list, Since installing the latest xorg updates for OpenSuSE 10.2, some applications fail to start. One example I was able to verify is eclipse (ver. 3.2). Here is the error message: ------------------------<cut>------------------------------ guest@duerer:~> The program 'Eclipse' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 582 error_code 11 request_code 144 minor_code 5) (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.) ------------------------<cut>------------------------------ Other reportedly affected applications are 'VLC' and 'xchm'. I was not able to verify that. The offending packages are: ------------------------<cut>------------------------------ xorg-x11-server-7.2-30.11 Fri 18 Jan 2008 08:39:33 CET xorg-x11-devel-7.2-25 Fri 18 Jan 2008 08:39:08 CET xorg-x11-libs-7.2-25 Fri 18 Jan 2008 08:39:00 CET ------------------------<cut>------------------------------ Similar packages were distributed this morning via apt-get for Ubuntu users and have the same detrimental effects. Is anyone here aware of this issue ? Ph.
