Package: xterm Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 Severity: normal
hi, ok. whenever i have an xterm started either via a session "manager", like gnome-session, or startkde, or xfce4-session, or if i start one via my .xsession file, it crashes with: xterm: warning, error event received: X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) Major opcode of failed request: 77 (X_ImageText16) Serial number of failed request: 190 Current serial number in output stream: 218 zsh: 25545 exit 83 uxterm and will continue to do this as long as it's in memory somewhere. but, if the x server has been running for a while (e.g., reading a whole bunch of x bugs ;) it behaves normally, and starts up as if nothing's wrong. this behaviour is repeatable. machine runs sid, updated daily processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 7 model name : Pentium III (Katmai) running "nVidia Corporation NV5 [RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro] (rev 15)" as main video (AGPx2), and a trident "TGUI 9660/938x/968x (rev d3)" on a PCI slot, using 'nvidia' non-free driver (eew). i assume it's because the full colour map is in the xserver, thus (u)xterm can start normally (wild guess, and probably wrong). simon -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (1000, 'unstable'), (998, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-p3 Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System Session Management ii libxaw8 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxp6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System printing extension ii libxpm4 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System client data Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System utility programs -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
