Package: libdirectfb-1.0-0 Version: 1.0.1-11 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
This bug already reported in Launchpad, but no ppc support there. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/directfb/+bug/301278 This problem's first symptom is that you are completely logged out of your X session as soon as you try to run something like Tuxpaint on PPC. I have seen it on Fedora, Debian Lenny and Intrepid. Etch.5 worked fine, probably because directfb was version 0.9. I have stepped though Tuxpaint until an SDL init: SDL_Init(1048625) (Those flags are: SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_TIMER | SDL_INIT_AUDO | SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE) I then stepped through the SDL code until here: DirectFB_CreateDevice (devindex=<value optimized out>) at ../../src/video/directfb/SDL_DirectFB_video.c:123 DirectFB_CreateDevice crashes. It sometimes prints the error below, but mostly it doesn't print anything, it just terminates the session. Since it looks permissions related I have run everything as root but that doesn't help. The machine I am running is a G4 Mac Mini (powerpc).
