Gnometris begins launch but fails before the window appears.

[Odin Overland]

Binary package hint: gnome-games

I have played Gnometris on 9.10 distributions on this same MacBook before. I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit, and have installed all of the updates along with some other software from the Software center, and the Mozilla build of Thunderbird 3.0.1. I just attempted to play my first game of Gnometris on this install. After launching from the applications menu, a window appeared in the window list saying that it was beginning Gnometris - but no game window actually appeared. After a short period (maybe 10-15 seconds) the window list bar disappears and the game never begins. I used the Ubuntu software center to remove and then reinstall Gnometris, but I had the same results.

Thanks for the report, what do you get if run gnometris from the command line? may you paste the output to the report? Thanks in advance.

I'm running a MacBook 2,1 - here is what the Terminal reports:

The program 'gnometris' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 27 error_code 1 request_code 135 minor_code 19)
  (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.)

I have the same basic symptoms. When running from terminal I get the following error:

(gnometris:2842): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x4c00027 the current GLX drawable
Segmentation fault

@Odin, please could you check if this issue is still affecting you under latest release included in Ubuntu Lucid? Thanks!

Hello Odin,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with the gnome-games package. You made this bug report in 2010 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 514596
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
G
