user profile version: guix (GNU Guix)
d5612439178465cd5bda6c69b71d6afb652b83e5

I am able to launch icecat, but loading some sites (e.g. riot.im) or
trying to restore my session seem to make it segfault very quickly. I
even had a crash on the session restore page so now the session it
restores is just an empty tab and it still crashes. Icecat is installed
via my user profile, but I recently updated both system and user
packages. I don't recall the breakage/crashing until very recently, so
I suspect it is the user profile which more recently finished.

I've now had a similar crash from emacs. I've got errors for both.
emacs erorr:

new crashes. I noticed it mentioned an environment variable to display
more info, so here are two crashes, the second one has it enabled.

I've allowed emacs and icecat to update after holding them back for
sometime. So far icecat has yet to crash, although I haven't restart it so
it's likely the safe version running from memory. Emacs, however, crashes
instantly. Error details below.

What distro are you using Guix on?

Can you reproduce the error with:

  guix environment --pure --ad-hoc emacs -- emacs

?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I've also just ran into the issue with yet another program, pavucontrol.

brad@kazuki:~/ > pavucontrol --display=:0

(pavucontrol:12807): Gdk-ERROR **: 22:00:39.555: The program 'pavucontrol'
received an X Window System
error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 7769 error_code 8 request_code 2 (core protocol)
minor_code
0)

  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Weird, that definitely works for me.

Could you then see if this can be reproduced in a VM?  That is, run:

  guix system vm config.scm

where config.scm is your system config, with Emacs added to the
‘packages’ field, like so:

  (operating-system
    ;; …
    (packages (cons emacs %base-packages)))

If the problem doesn’t show up in the VM, it would mean there’s some
corrupt state somewhere on your system.

HTH,
Ludo’.

I've started on this process but it's new to me so I'm a bit lost here.
I added emacs to the package list of my existing real config.scm, the one
at /etc/config.scm, then ran the guix system vm command on it. I read up a
bit
on what the command does, and I *think* I've now created a qemu-compatible
image that I now have to boot with qemu and it should be like my exact
system
minus user profile packages. I've never used qemu so I'm a bit intimidated
there,
but I plan to try to figure this out soon.

bug#34454: Gtk upstream bug #1280 causes crashes in IceCat and Emacs

[Mark H Weaver]

I applied my proposed patch to my private branch of Guix, rebuilt my
system and user profiles, rebooted, and verified that things seem to be
working fine.  However, since I'm unable to reproduce the original bug,
I will have to rely on others to check whether this fixes the problem.

      Thanks,
        Mark

Thanks so much for taking a look at this. I was getting worried it would
never be solved since just a few of us were affected. I've updated and
everything seems to be in order. No more crashes from icecat, emacs,
pavucontrol, etc.

retitle 34454 Gtk upstream bug #1280 causes crashes in IceCat and Emacs
thanks

Hello all,

I looked into this, and I believe all of these bugs are caused by Gtk
upstream bug #1280:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1280

which is apparently fixed by the following upstream commit:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/commit/e3a1593a0984cc0156ec1892a46af8f256a64878

Here's another upstream bug report that's more obviously related to
this, and upstream decided it was a duplicate with #1280:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1523

Also, here's the same bug reported for NixOS and Arch:

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/53697
  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61050

I've attached a proposed patch to fix this in Guix.  I'm currently
testing the patch on my system to make sure it doesn't cause any
problems, although I cannot reproduce this bug on my own system.

If those affected by this issue would like to test this patch and report
back, that would be helpful.

     Regards,
       Mark

Hi Mark,

I applied your patch to my local Guix, and everything is working 
fine again. I had been working around the problem by using 
emacs-no-x-toolkit, but with your patch I can use the normal emacs 
package again without issues.

Great, thanks for the report!  Based on this, I went ahead and pushed a
slightly improved patch, commit bc91562939ee002e84c95d13c907482b6d1e9339
on the master branch.

Joshua and Bradley: you should be able to simply "guix pull" and then
update your IceCat package, and hopefully the problem will be fixed.
Please let us know.

     Thanks!
