X Window System error, bug in the program

[Tvangeste]

Please run the following debug session. Since I cannot reproduce the problem on my machine I have to ask you.

Code: Select all

1. gdb ./goldendict
2. break main
3. run
4. break _XError
5. set _Xdebug=1
6. cont
7. bt

Thank you!

I also have this problem. I cannot figure out why. The output is the same as the last poster posted. If there's anything I can help,
I would like to do anything that I can do to solve this problem.

Please try my step-by-step instruction one post above and report back your output.

I would also recommend to build GoldenDict in debug mode before trying:

Code: Select all

qmake "CONFIG+=debug"
make clean
make

Thanks Tvangeste, it's fixed the issue for me. I had this issue with Ubuntu 13.04 after another system update (apt-get update).

OK, one more thing to try.

Make sure no goldendict is running, then open the ~/.goldendict/conifg file in any text editor and change 1 to 0 in two places:

Code: Select all

<enableMainWindowHotkey>1</enableMainWindowHotkey>
... snip ....
<enableClipboardHotkey>1</enableClipboardHotkey>

to

Code: Select all

<enableMainWindowHotkey>0</enableMainWindowHotkey>
... snip ...
<enableClipboardHotkey>0</enableClipboardHotkey>


Is your GoldenDict still crashing after such change?

[Tvangeste]

serge, please, if you could build GoldenDict like stated here:
viewtopic.php?p=10286#p10286

And then perform a debug session, as mentioned here (and share the results):
viewtopic.php?p=10250#p10250

That would be awesome! So that we have more info in order to properly fix the bug. I myself cannot reproduce it and hence rely on you guys to make this debugging.

Tvangeste, I have built GoldenDict from GIT with "CONFIG+=debug". Then I have removed ~/.goldendict directory and reproduced the issue with fresh goldendict. Here is debug log:

Please let me know if I can help you with other test.

Excellent! Thank you very much for your efforts!

So it is indeed a conflict between GoldenDict shortcuts and Xubuntu's (XFCE, actually).

Now, once you are able to start the GoldenDict, go to Preferences (F4) -> Hotkeys, and you could enable the second shortcut as-is, but the first one you need to change, since Ctrl+F11+F11 conflicts with Xubuntu's hotkeys (switch to the eleventh workspace!, heheh).

[serge]

I don't use hotkeys from that tab actually, so it's fine for me now.
Thank you very much for this awesome sottware!

Hi there,

No Goldendict doesnt crash after the change

im sorry for the late answer, but I had a lot of stuff to do. I edited the mentioned file accordingly and now it works. Thanks for all your effort. Ill be git pulling waiting for a better XFCE integration!

[Tvangeste]

Folks, the bug has been fixed.

Could you please remove any of the mentioned workarounds and try the latest build and see if the problem is indeed resolved for you.

You could either build GoldenDict from sources or you could use my pre-built packages, courtesy of the awesome service from openSUSE:
http://software.opensuse.org/download.h ... goldendict

Just select your distro (Ubuntu) and follow instructions for your Ubuntu version to add the new repository. Then just regular 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install goldendict'.
