It seems the bug isn't easily reproducible. But, it does occur frequently.

The crash-report dialog comes up(apport?) when you close x-chat from the tray. maybe apport "thinks" there is a crash when you close the program from the tray. don't think there really is a crash but who knows I might be wrong ;)

to add to my last comment: i am not under the impression that x-chat crashes when you use the quit button in the application, only when closing from the tray, but I can't really reproduce so not to sure :)

This has been happening consistently when I log out of Edgy with xchat still running, although I don't there's any difference when closing Xchat manually.

I just found out that the bug is triggered if you close XChat with the "Close Window" button without using /quit before.

I used to beable to replicate this bug. but since I rebuilt it without the striping of debugging symbols... i can't seem to replicate it anymore. maybe it just needs to be rebuilt against current edgy? or maybe the stripping process is doing some damage? meh.

ignore my above comment. here is a good crash log.
this is using a slightly modified version of the xchat from edgy. the difference is that i've removed the stripping of debugging stuff. it was built using pbuilder.

I have just encounted this problem as well.
I had just finished my chat and then disconnected from the server and then closed xchat down and then low and behold it says that xchat crashed.
For what ever reason I did everything as pernormal???

Same thing, closing xchat, don't really see it crashing, but at the next boot I got the crash message.
I suspect the fact that xchat is not entirely closed when I logoff the machine.

Has anyone tried compiling Debian Sid's newer version of xchat yet? Though I
doubt that'd fix anything :D
Mike Basinger (mike.basinger) wrote : Re: xchat crashes frequently on quit | #43 |
I tried re-compiling the Debian Sid version and got a dbus error.
DarkMageZ (darkmagez) wrote : | #44 |
sid = debians unstable branch right?
i've been running debian's 2.6.8 for alittle while now. it fixes the bug.
i'm not sure how Mike compiles his software, but under a clean environment (pbuilder). debian's 2.6.8 compiles fine and fixes this bug without opening up any new bugs that i have seen.
John Dong (jdong) wrote : | #45 |
debian sid's version does compile cleanly in pbuilder.... though I haven't tried it long enough to make a judgement about whether or not this is fixed yet.
John Dong (jdong) wrote : | #46 |
I see xchat was merged from Sid and uploaded to Feisty. Perhaps that's the "fix committed" we're looking for?
I'll play with it a bit on Edgy and see how it is, and perhaps a Backports request can be opened for it.
DarkMageZ (darkmagez) wrote : | #47 |
a backport would not fix it for those who don't have -backports enabled. something needs to be put in -updates for this to be resolved properly for the majority of people.
if people don't have -updates enabled... well we can't help them.

After a very long conversation with the core developer of xchat (zed). I've gone along and hopefully fixed this up. Known regressions consist of loss of being able to use links from within firefox to open up irc channels and servers.

if you don't know how to install these, then you shouldn't be testing them.

DarkMageZ (darkmagez) wrote : | #59 |
iirc....... edgy's dbus is borked, so for xchat 2.6.8, zed redesigned his implementation to protect against such borkedness. so unless we are going to put 2.6.8 in -updates then unless someone wants to alter edgy's dbus... or wants to pull that huge change back from 2.6.8 then the only viable option is to disable xchat's dbus support.
this is why xchat 2.6.6 works fine in dapper & fiesty, because their dbus is fine.

- debdiff between xchat_2.6.6-0ubuntu3 and xchat_2.6.6-0ubuntu4. Edit (2.2 KiB, text/plain)
In Ubuntu Edgy, XChat crashes frequently when the application is
closed. This has the effect of opening `apport', the bug report tool.
For XChat users, this bug is annoying and gives Ubuntu a lack of
polishing impression.
The bug is caused by the `gconf' feature of XChat. The solution, for
this version of XChat, is to disable `gconf' support completely. This
has the side effect of removing `xchat-remote', the irc:// protocol
handler of Firefox. However, this feature isn't known or used by most
XChat users, according to a small survey in the #ubuntu and
#ubuntu-offtopic done in December 2006. Most users would prefer to get
this bug fixed. Therefore, I think it's safe to disable XChat's
`gconf' support to fix this bug.
The patch disables XChat's `gconf' support and change the Maintainer
to Ubuntu MOTU Developers. The full package of the fixed version can
be found on REVU at: http://

edgy-proposed should not have the maintainer changed as the Edgy toolchain has not been extensively tested for that.
Personally I'm not convinced that crash on close is truly SRU worthy. After all, the crash (which technically qualifies for an SRU), with the exception of the crash dialogue, gets you where you wanted to go. Is eliminating having to close a crash dialogue box really worth the risk of an SRU?

I still think that a backported fix should be put in edgy-updates because
crashes are bad.

Yes, crashes are bad, but balance a crash on exit versus the risk associated
with fielding change in a released distribution. I'm certainly not the final

I just experienced this same thing.
I just closed it using the [x], and it popped up a crash dialog.
Only one time so far though, I can't reproduce it step for step.
