The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.

[Laurent Bigonville]

Looks like all clutter applications are failing with an error like

This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
  (Details: serial 145 error_code 16 request_code 155 minor_code 17)
  (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.)

Ok that could be maybe even more critical because my firefox crash when going to some sites (ie. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=74601)

Bug in the ATI card driver?

[Jean-Louis Dupond (dupondje)]

After a chat in #ubuntu-x, it seems like it got fixed in mesa:
Change:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=bfc889517ad0d490cce1817eecac146d66bcd923

We should get this in Natty asap :)

[Julien Cristau (jcristau)]

This should be fixed by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=cbe9fc12a64c3ae89fd1b20e9e165aa4b76293a5 in mesa, work around for xorg-server at http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/3987/
There's a couple other patches for mesa in the same vein that should go with that, AFAIK they're all cherry-picked to the 7.10 branch.
You may also want http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/3986/ and http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/3985/ in your X server.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Thanks Julien, I'm pilling cbe9fc12a64 for ubuntu's mesa to fix this bug; I gather as long as we have that we don't need the workaround in the X server. (Let me know if otherwise).

Will look at the other patches you've flagged directly.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

pilling == pulling obviously.

Adding xorg-server task for the two xserver patches, guess this report serves as a good enough reference for them as any.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package mesa - 7.10-1ubuntu2

    to fix leaks in DRI2 screen creation error paths, which causes Clutter
    applications to fail with error, "BadLength (poly request too large or
    internal Xlib length".
    (LP: #714280)

  * Add 211_glx_fix_bindtextimageext_length_check.patch,
    212_fix_request_length_check_for_createglxpbuffersgix.patch:
    - Correct wrong request size match for xGLXCreateGLXPbufferSGIXReq.

I can confirm that the behaviour of Emerillon has not changed after these fixes are applied and X is restarted.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Bummer. Guess next we should try jcristau's xserver workaround patch.

Btw, can someone give me the exact steps to reproduce this crash? I have not seen this myself on natty, and might make it easier if I can verify the fix myself locally.

Not sure if this is driver-related, but I am using the Nouveau driver for my Nvidia Geforce 9600GT, with the experimental Mesa DRI2 driver installed. I am not running Unity, because Compiz currently crashes with the Nouveau DRI2 Gallium3D driver—not sure about the naming here. ;)

The crash should be very easy to reproduce: on an up-to-date installation of Natty, install Emerillon, run it and see it never starts. Launching it from a terminal will reveal it crashes immediately.

[Laurent Bigonville (bigon)]

And for the firefox crash go to: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=74601

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hmm, seems not so easy to reproduce. I installed emerillon on an -intel 945 natty system with unity running, and an -ati natty system without unity; emerillon did not crash when launched in either case, and I was able to interact with it zooming in and out.

I saw some warning messages when running it:

humber:~$ emerillon

** (emerillon:10261): WARNING **: Metadata for error domain "geoclue-error-quark" already registered

(emerillon:10261): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x4c00013 the current GLX drawable

(emerillon:10261): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x4c00099 the current GLX drawable

** (emerillon:10261): WARNING **: Error loading /home/bryce/.local/share/emerillon/placemarks.ini: No such file or directory
Error retrieving the current position: Geoclue master client has no usable Position providers

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

I visited http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=74601 in firefox on both -ati and -intel. Nothing crashed.

Near as I can see, the bug is unreproducible.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Tempted to set back to fixed until there is some stronger evidence the problem still exists. However, setting to incomplete to give folks a chance to try again.

Note that no one has uploaded logs and such for this bug report, which is usually expected and required. Original bug reporter should run 'apport-collect 714280'.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

<dupondje> bryceh: I can reproduce 714280
<dupondje> every single time :s
<jcristau> dupondje: i assume it goes away if you set your locale to something en_*?
<dupondje> LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
 no more crash ...
<jcristau> dupondje: ok, at least that much makes sense.
<bryceh> dupondje, interesting
<dupondje> normally I use nl_BE btw

[Laurent Bigonville (bigon)]

Indeed doesn't crash anymore with LANG=C (I'm usually using fr_BE.UTF-8)

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

The locale dependency suggests something maybe breaking on number format like '1.0' vs. '1,0'

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Aha, looks like I included the git commit mentioned in comment #6 but the real fix is the one in comment #7. Lets try again.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package mesa - 7.10-1ubuntu3

---------------
mesa (7.10-1ubuntu3) natty; urgency=low

  * Add 109_fix_length_of_glxgetfbconfigssgix.patch: Second try at fix for
    "BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length" when using
    non-C, non-en locales. This time with the real fix.

[Jean-Louis Dupond (dupondje)]

I can confirm the issue seems solved :)

[Sense Egbert Hofstede (sense)]

I can confirm that since the latest update Emerillon is working now.

[Laurent Bigonville (bigon)]

Emerillon works for me too, but generate the following errors:

(emerillon:8200): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x5400013 the current GLX drawable

(emerillon:8200): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x5400088 the current GLX drawable

More over when compiling the git HEAD of champlain and trying the demos they still fail with:

X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
  Major opcode of failed request: 155 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 30 (X_GLXChangeDrawableAttributes)
  Serial number of failed request: 63
  Current serial number in output stream: 65

The GTK variants (using clutter-gtk) are working but generate the same errors as Emerillon

[Laurent Bigonville (bigon)]

Related to my previous message.

These errors are happening on my desktop with an ATI card.

On my laptop, it looks like that clutter_init() completely fails (I get a message telling me that the program should call clutter_init(), which it of course does.)

[Julien Cristau (jcristau)]

The rest of this stuff is fixed or worked around in xserver 1.10 rc2.

[locust (marineworks)]

no way I still suffer this very noising bug!!!
(with the latest xserver 1.10 and libglu1)

which debug you need to investigate the issue?

amd64 Natty nvidia m8400 GS

Thanks in advance
David

[locust (marineworks)]

Ok! excuse me i was wrong

It was a nouveau driver interference issue ...

killing the nouveau driver I wasn't aware gave me all right!
So it is Solved (at least for me for me)!.

Anyway, thanks for all.
David
