[Bug 2011751] Re: openbox crashed with SIGABRT

Wed Mar 22 05:29:36 UTC 2023

Aaron asked me to test his version via PPA

As noted in the original bug report; this bug was annoying... as was
hitting me often enough I stopped using Lubuntu & used Xfce & GNOME
instead while, before returning to LXQt though I replaced `openbox` as
WM with `xfwm4` (to avoid issues).

(note:  times are likely AEST as I'm getting this detail from my hexchat
IRC logs; but if verification/UTC times are needed read
https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2023/03/20/%23lubuntu-devel.txt etc where
13:09:35 is recorded as [02:09] on irclogs.ubuntu.com)

Mar 20 12:53:24 <arraybolt3>    OK, will push to a PPA and have available for testing shortly.
Mar 20 12:54:19 <guiverc>       :)   (but also followed by a rather quick :(  as that'll require me to make a change (to test) & then LOGOUT so I can re-login; the logout is the :( )
Mar 20 13:09:35 <arraybolt3>    https://launchpad.net/~arraybolt3/+archive/ubuntu/openbox

I installed the patched version on Aaron's PPA

Mar 20 14:35:17 <guiverc>       quick play and no crashes (or FIRES!) arraybolt3 ; I'll use normally; but I was getting openbox crash maybe hourly as I recall prior to fix  (why I switched to other DEs then swapped out openbox).. currently using 3.6.1-10ubuntu1~ppa1

Mar 21 09:38:45 <guiverc>       fyi arraybolt3 , have had no openbox crashes...

Mar 22 13:14:28 <guiverc>       arraybolt3, another day & no openbox crashes... (last was @Mar 16 09:46 my local time; then I switched to other DEs... then back to LXQt but xfwm4 instead of openbox... been using openbox again since your PPA)

I've been using my primary system since then without issue.

My usage is normal, I suspend at night then resume in the morning.  I
rebooted system earlier today, logged in and returned to normal usage.

I have experienced no issues, system has been stable as I expect from
Lubuntu :)

Title:
  openbox crashed with SIGABRT

Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in openbox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Lubuntu lunar (primary box) on
  - dell [optiplex] 7050 (i5-6500, 16gb, intel hd530/i915)

  I experienced a crash yesterday (openbox) but tend to ignore the first
  crashes... Whilst using the machine again today a crash occurred.

  This is my primary box, so my setup is pretty consistent

  - featherpad (restored session)
  - hexchat (irc)
  - qterminal (only single tab today; usually many)
  - firefox (snap, most sites excluding google related)
  - chromium (snap, used for anything google related)
  - telegram (snap)
  - element

  I was using chromium full screen (trying to read my gmail inbox) when
  borders around windows disappeared & I lost the capacity to switch
  between windows; mouse would move, but keyboard appeared mostly dead
  (it wasn't, more I think windows weren't responding, inc. clicks with
  mouse though that's likely inconsistent; I could [not] work out how to
  describe it yesterday, but todays is almost identical).

  I switched to text terminal (ctrl+alt+f4) & explored; returned to GUI and used
  - ctrl+alt+t to open new terminal
  - openbox &

  session returned to what I expect...

  ** expected outcome

  Openbox doesn't crash

  ** actual outcome

  all windows lost borders, and i lost ability to switch between windows
  I appeared to have minimal control (not true, more a fraction of what I expect)

  ** How to get crash

  For me,

  - I used chromium (browser)
  - make chromium full screen (ie. F11)
  - click on link/something & right-click to open in new window
  OPENBOX CRASH.
