Yep, Intel over here....

[karl anliot (kanliot)]

seems to occur when watching video
managed to get a stack trace during the frequent crashes

[karl anliot (kanliot)]

so i'm using mplayer-gnome to get the crashes, seems to happen when I'm clicking on the context menus. Using GL video output. FYI.

I have tried to reproduce just by moving and closing windows, but I cant reproduce. I ahve to wait for openbox to crash, and it usually takes a few hours.

[karl anliot (kanliot)]

more crashes when closing windows. this time I was clicking a dialog button

[karl anliot (kanliot)]

also this time wasn't running gnome player, so disregard earlier comment

[Sven Romeike (lun4tic)]

Nvidia drivers here and same Problem. using 12.04 32Bit on a Samsung R560 on a normal Ubuntu install with additional lubuntu-desktop. could not reproduce it yet.

I had nothing running just 2 lubuntu filemanagers after login. I clicked a little bit around in the filemanager and the bar on the bottom when suddenly the bug occured.

[Elthommo (elthommo)]

had this using lubuntu 12.04 lubutu software centre

On a MacBook Pro 13", 8.1. Running Openbox. After doing an upgrade today I can no longer right click(two finger gesture click) on the desktop to bring the Openbox menu up.

[Redwolf (viking.redwolf)]

It happened to me SIX consecutive times while trying to move a folder between two PCManFM windows. PCManFM crashed too.

[Chris Wyatt (wyattmeister)]

This happened to me when I was playing Swell Foop. I was pressing the New button, I may have pressed the button twice in quick succession, but I'm not sure.

[Qball Cow (qball-qballcow)]

Why is importance medium? This allready caused loss of data for me. (openbox crashes, X restarts to lightdm, open programs loose X connection and crash)

[ike (igor-kolar)]

Happens to me a lot.
 - when launching wine
 - when the screensaver engages (or when I try to cancel it)
 - sometimes spontaniously

Seen it at least 5x today, including waking up to it (the comp was on during the night). Only started happening with the 12.04 update, never ever once before

Openbox crashes with SIGABRT in client_configure(), just like the initial post says.

I second the motion of #17 that this needs to be upped to high priority. I have lost data to this.

Seems to be an upstream bug : https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5460

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Thanks for the link, I uploaded a version of the package including the workaround on the bug tracker, it will be available on Lubuntu-dev staging PPA : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/staging

Could people affected by this bug try to installed the update (be sure to have version 3.5.0-2ubuntu2.1~ppa1), reboot or restart openbox, and try to reproduce the bug ? Thanks.

[ATIpro (somebody2112)]

Fixed version works great. Can you push it to official updates? This bug is really annoying.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

It should be fixed in 3.5.0-4 (in 12.10), since the upstream fix is included.

[tobydeemer (tobydeemer)]

Is there any chance this will be back-ported? I don't want to have to upgrade to a non-LTS release to fix this. Or is the staging PPA the only option at this point, aside from installing directly from upstream project?

Thanks.

[Silviu C. (silviucc)]

Yes, please release a package that contains the fix for us 12.04 users. It's really annoying :/
