[660156] gedit: Kills synergys randomly

Package: gedit Version: 3.2.6-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

There's an interraction with synergys: gedit seem to kill it when moving mouse cursor to the other screen. gedit & synergys: sid synergyc: squeeze This happens when synergys is launched either by root or a user.

Here are the server & client launch scripts:

!/bin/sh

killall -9 synergys sleep 1 synergys --daemon --restart -c /etc/synergy.conf --display :0 $1 $2 $3 (no parm is used)

!/bin/sh

killall -9 synergyc sleep 1 synergyc --restart synsvr.locnet

• What led up to the situation?

Repetitive synergys death when working with gedit. Unfortunately, this behaviour is random: sometimes (not much) synergys continue to live.

There's also another glitch: if gedit is open since a long time (~2-4H) and I used it a lot, the death of synergys render the gedit cursor invisible - this is fixed the second synergys is re-launched.

• What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?

I've got no solution (except a cron to would relaunch synergys, but I don't like this).

• What was the outcome of this action?

-

• What outcome did you expect instead?

gedit cooperating correctly w/ synergys without crashing it.

I also confirm bug #360535, even navigating on the not seen part of a long line makes the CPU raise to 100%

Hi! I'm the maintainer of synergy for Debian. The bug you filed against gedit was forwarded to me to look at.

Have you still been having the problem?

If so, which versions of synergy are you running client-side and server-side? If I read the bug correctly, gedit is dying on the server side; what system is running on the client?

There's an experimental version of synergy available in the "experimental" package repository. Assuming you're still having the problem, would you be willing to try that and see if the problem resolves itself there?

Hi Jeff,

Have you still been having the problem?

Yep, in fact it seems linked to GTK2 because it happens in the 2 applications I use the most: gedit and gcstars

If so, which versions of synergy are you running client-side and server-side? If I read the bug correctly, gedit is dying on the server side; what system is running on the client?

Both are Debian Linux, svr is sid, client is squeeze+backports, svr ver: 1.3.8-1 cli ver: 1.3.1-5

There's an experimental version of synergy available in the "experimental" package repository. Assuming you're still having the problem, would you be willing to try that and see if the problem resolves itself there?

Ok, I installed 1.4.8-1 from experimental and as first sight it seems not to fail anymore; now, as synergy's death was pretty much random I need to re-test it thoroughly - It will take some times as I'm leaving now.

Lets say if still have this problem I'll go back to you before the next week end and if it's alright not at all.

Thanks for your time Jeff and best regards.
