exiting a slideshow crashes f-spot

[Roel Huybrechts]

Binary package hint: f-spot

Ending a slideshow crashes F-Spot. I'm using up-to-date Ubuntu Gutsy.

Thanks for your report, Do you have enabled the Visual Effects on your desktop? Does it happen without them? thanks.

[Roel Huybrechts (rulus)]

Visual effects are not enabled since my graphics card (ati mobility x700) is blacklisted according to bug #115283.

[Stuart Bishop (stub)]

All requested information has been given, so updating status. I too am seeing this crash, with visual effects turned on.

Looks like my problem, at least to some degree.
When i start a slideshow the images are colored green and f-spot crashes after exiting the slideshow. Both errors don't happen in the normal fullscreen view. When i turn the visual effects on, i only get a small (green again) image on the top left part of the screen. It crashs too.

The program 'f-spot' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 7900 error_code 2 request_code 145 minor_code 9)
  (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.)

Could you please attach a crash dump?

[Roel Huybrechts (rulus)]

I don't know if this is the wanted crash dump, but it's a little more detailed than previous logs.

[Roel Huybrechts (rulus)]

I have to add that it now crashes immediately when starting the slideshow. At the time I report this bug, it crashed when ending the slideshow.. I have no clue what has changed since..

[fixor (gormaengda)]

Same problem. Exiting from a slideshow crashes f-spot and my entire system. Mouse freezes, keyboard does not respond. I have to press the reboot button on my machine. I really hope someone can solve this.

[Martin Atkins (martin-mca-ltd)]

I've got the same problem - exiting fullscreen or slideshow modes both crash F-Spot.
fortunately, they don't crash my machine (yet).

I'm using the test ati driver that fixes bug #152312, from http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11839430/xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.197%2Bgit20080208.8606c1bd-0ubuntu0tormod%7Egutsy_i386.deb
should that be relevant.

[Roel Huybrechts (rulus)]

This is fixed in Hardy for me. I tested with 4 cases: both the opensource 'ati' and closed source 'fglrx' drivers and Compiz turned on and off. The bug is not reproducible anymore in any of the four cases. Can anyone else confirm it's fixed?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

ok, thanks.
