Bug Description
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
Since upgrading my local machine from hardy to intrepid, I am no longer able to interact with any X11-based software from certain remote hosts. The applications will launch fine, but if a widget that can accept any keyboard input has focus and a key is pressed, the app will immediately crash with:
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 151 (XKEYBOARD)
Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (XkbSetNamedInd
Serial number of failed request: 5096
Current serial number in output stream: 5188
The apps in questions are being launched from older Sun Solaris machines:
SunOS 5.9 Generic_118558-39 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
All X apps fail the exact same way. This includes xterm, nedit, etc. These same tools on the same remote hosts still work fine with the X server on another hardy machine that I have. I have tested launching similar tools from other types of hosts, such as Ubuntu dapper and hardy, Debian etch, Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3, etc. They all work fine with the intrepid X server.
