Binary package hint: f-spot

The program '/usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.

  (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.)

Thanks for the report, could you run f-spot in gdb as:

gdb f-spot
break gdk_x_error
run --sync
(reproduce the crash and:)
thread apply all bt

then attach that resulting backtrace to the report, thanks.

I also am getting an error similar to this. Originally the problem was fixed by not using the new Wave theme'. However, after a recent system update via the update manager the fault returned - all the themes tried have produced the same result - a crash after a few seconds of runnning. I have also posted a report on bug 411941.

Using KK 9.10, 2.6.31.-19
Nvidia drivers
Gnome 2.28.1

I have tried with desktop effects on and off.

Machine is an Acer Revo with Atom 230 processor, 3GB RAM.

Error as follows :

I have not been able to run in gdb as yet - if i get the chance I wil post the results.

could you try changing the theme you are using? do you use new wave there?

JamesH (jnahughes) wrote :

I perhaps wasn't clear enough in my posting. I first got this problem when using New Wave, so after finding various bug reports related to themes I changed to New Look (I think) and the bug went away.

However, I then did a update via the updater and the problem returned. I am not sure what was updated but it was, I think, done on the 15th Feb. I cannot confirm specifically that the update caused the issue, but its the only thing I can think off that changed at the time the fault re-occurred.

I have tried various themes and the problem still occurs.

Sorry, I'm unable to run f-spot in gdb. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling f-spot using the Synaptic Package Manager, but no change.

this was mentioned to me in a conversation about this bug.
(After testing, this seems to be a problem with gtk+-2.0 pixmap engine. Any theme using the pixmap engine crashes with fspot in the same manner.)

a workaround for now was changing themes, that let me get f-stop working.

I have run gdb and get exactly the same result as posted in comment#6.

Following the link in #7, I ran gconf-editor and deleted the theme key in apps/f-spot/ui. This has fixed the problem - it was set to new wave.

Thanks J Majere!!

I changed the theme in System - Preferences - Appearance from New Wave (default) to Clearlooks and f-spot runs fine now.
