xcb_io.c abort the processs

[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
main: xcb_io.c:269: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.

This happens only in awesome wm I have checked on other wm (dwm, bspwm) it works fine

[actionless]

never happened to me

what are the pre-requisites? what happens next?

[psychon]

What's your AwesomeWM version?

That error message comes from Xlib and if I did not do anything wrong, then AwesomeWM does not use Xlib since commit 0e81479a3f905f4551c88e4ad480972f1a9cff7b / version v4.0.

@psychon

@actionless , I tried to use libgraph using this package. installed using this pkgfile changes dependencies guile1.8 to guile2.0 as recommended by this also added this line in line 16 export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fcommon" main.c

compiled using: gcc main.c -o main -lgraph

Its not working in awesome only. A blank black window is generated but not generating any graphics in that window.

[psychon]

Wait... where are you getting this error message? Is it AwesomeWM that aborts or is it this lgraph example thingie?

Also, what is the relation between that blank window and this abort? I am a bit confused about what is going on...

[willsir14]

I think awesomeWM is the one that aborts. I tried the same code in DWM and BSPWM it works.

@psychon Is this problem of xcb?

[psychon]

No, the error message comes from Xlib (which AwesomeWM does not use): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/blob/78027fdb7aa07621a3b7cdf37050bae39012f2fb/src/xcb_io.c#L725-726 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/blob/78027fdb7aa07621a3b7cdf37050bae39012f2fb/src/xcb_io.c#L34
