Sway crash #6170

Closed hanckmann closed 3 years ago

hanckmann commented 3 years ago

I have a nasty bug which is hard to reproduce, but bites me quite regularly.

It usually right after a fresh start (system boot). I usually start opening these applications:

I think it is related to thunderbird, but I am not sure.

After the applications are loading sway crashes and drops me into my shell. This is what is on my screen:

I have no clue how to get that info in a textual format. Therefore this picture.

I hope it helps. I have now cloned and (debug-)build sway from git and will start sway with debug symbols the next few days to see if I can get a debug dump. Until then, maybe the picture does provide some useful information.

-- Working on a Lenovo T14s laptop with a fully updated Arch Linux.

Try redirecting the Sway output to a file.

sway -d >sway.log 2>&1

Why did I not think of that... I did now put that in my default startup script. Thanks for this hint.

If you install the latest versions of libglvnd sway and wlroots from source code, the sway will be fixed #6154

This issue doesn't seem to be the same as #6154, since it happens on 1.5.1. My guess would be that it's the Xwayland SIGUSR1 issue, fixed by 1.6.

hanckmann commented 3 years ago

I do not have nvidea hardware... so I guess it should not be related to libglvnd.

hanckmann commented 3 years ago

sway 1.6 is in archlinux staging... so if it is the SIGUSR1 related issue, then I will check if it (still) happens in sway 1.6.

I propose to close this report. If it happens again after updating to 1.6 (from the arch repositories), I will file a new bug-report with a log file as described in the first comment.

This same problem happened with me. Typing inxi -G or running xwayland calling applications such as google-chrome, sway crashed. The problems are alike. #6143
