xtrs loops after opening Window

[Ralf Folkerts]

Binary package hint: xtrs

Please note, this happened with Kubuntu 7.04/Beta!

After installation of xtrs, when it's being started it opens it's Window and then loops, i.e. it won't "boot" into the ROM-Image.

Step by step: Install xtrs, then start. I tried with and w/o specifiying a ROM-Image (I also use xtrs on FreeBSD and Gentoo and copied to xtrsrom4p.hex over to the Kubuntu-machine in case the compiled-in-Image was broken (i.e. start with "xtrs -romfile /home/ralf/xtrsrom4p -model 4p"). However , just after displaying it's Window it loops.

I also tried to compile my own xtrs, both with and w/o built-in ROM-Images; however, I get the same Results.

When watching the process with strace it loops somewhere around reading the /tmp/.X11-unix/X0-Socket..

Would be great if anyone had a hint/solution. However, I know the 7.04 is BETA and so it's just
a "nice to have" re. Priority :-)

Cheers & thanks!

Pls. note: After todays (2007-04-03, ~18:00h UTC) xtrs seems to work again! xtrs was not part of the Update but doesn't loop any longer but boots correcly into the (command-line supplied disk). As xtrs did not work yesterday but does today and as xtrs was not updated today it must have been somthing outside of xtrs.

As I cannot change the status, pls. set this to "Fixed"!

Cheers!
