Can't play Quadrapassel over X11 forwarding

[Delan Azabani]

Most programs work just fine over X11 forwarding, but not Quadrapassel. Even with a full gnome-session loaded so that gconf will work, quadrapassel just crashes and refuses to start over X forwarding.

stdout:

(quadrapassel:18658): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x4000005 the current GLX drawable

(quadrapassel:18658): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x4000006 the current GLX drawable
Segmentation fault

Reassigning to gnome-games.

I launched quadrapassel a few weeks ago and it worked, now it does not. I have been installing all the Maverick Meerkat package upgrades for the past few weeks and am assuming it is a regression error, if not in the gnome-games package then in a package it depends on.

I am launching it in a very vanilla fashion - I am sitting at my 10.10 desktop, go in the default GNOME to Applications -> Games -> Quadrapassel and it fails to load. I then go to a gnome-terminal and try to run it from there, and the message I see is shown below. This seems to be failing for people whether or not they have X11 forwarding, as the original bug submitter says he has turned on. I do not have X11 forwarding turned on, yet it is still broken for me.

I asked a few people on the IRC channel #ubuntu+1 if they could launch the program, the two that tried could not. I am assuming this is failing for almost everyone, I have not found an up-to-date 10.10 system that quadrapassel works on.

Here is the error I'm getting.

$ quadrapassel

(quadrapassel:2545): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x4800005 the current GLX drawable

(quadrapassel:2545): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x4800006 the current GLX drawable

(quadrapassel:2545): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x4800005 the current GLX drawable

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'quadrapassel' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 69 error_code 9 request_code 137 minor_code 12)
  (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.)
aborting...
Trace/breakpoint trap

I downloaded an old version, gnome-games_2.31.4-0ubuntu1, and quadrapassel seems to be broken in that as well. It probably broke on some changed library it depends on.

That is weird. I can play quadrapassel - just not over SSH/X11.

[Dennis Sheil (dennis-sheil)]

Quadrapassel works for me again after getting the latest Meerkat updates.

I changed the title back to what it was.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
