Broken rxvt-unicode and rxvt-unicode-patched

falcongg · 2012-07-01 16:06:01

I run rxvt-unicode throught urxvtd+urxvtc.

Things to reproduce:

1. run urxvtd
2. run ruxvtc
-> urxvtd crashes:

[~]% urxvtd 
rxvt-unicode daemon listening on /home/th/.urxvt/urxvtd-pchostname.
zsh: segmentation fault  urxvtd
[~]%
[~]% dmesg
[...]
[  870.382005] urxvtd[2748]: segfault at ffffd80000000000 ip 00007f49fd2c8e6c sp 00007fff32875790 error 4 in libc-2.15.so[7f49fd292000+197000]

When I comment out this:

URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher,tabbed

from ~/.Xresources - problem disappears.

I only have installed

[~]% pacman -Q | grep perl
perl 5.16.0-2
perl-error 0.17017-1
[~]%

and perl-error is required by git.

I have this problem with rxvt-unicode form [community] repo as also with rxvt-unicode-patched from AUR.

Any ideas?

Try re-installing your Perl extensions (tabbed) and custom libraries.

BTW: If you're referring strictly to rxvt-unicode-patched (not rxvt-unicode from community repo), have you rebuilt it after Perl upgrade, just in case?

Yes. I have rebuilded once again rxvt-unicode-patched (and by default I use patched version from aur). I just wanted to say that problem also exists with rxvt-unicode from community repo.
I laso tried to reinstall perl and perl-error - this didn't help either. How can I reinstall my perl extensions? I don't have any "custom" libraries.

FYI: urxvt (not urxvtc+urxvtd) works in tabbed mode...

Try running the daemon like this:

/usr/bin/urxvtd -q -o -f

falcongg · 2012-07-01 19:31:04

No, running urxvtd -q -o -f didn't help.

[13197.227875] urxvtd[2783]: segfault at ffffd80000000000 ip 00007ffa38bfbe6c sp 00007fffaf8b8d60 error 4 in libc-2.15.so[7ffa38bc5000+197000]

Really nobody else have this problem? I don't believe.

No issues here, running urxvt{d,c}

Sorry, I think my hard drive is failing. I definitely can hear clicking. It also clicks when I freshly boot my system and run urxvtd and next urxvtc -> at crash disk clicks. Seems that I have to spent extra money on new hdd by this month.

Okay, previous post is WRONG. That clicking is caused by hd head parking.

But I have discovered new thing. These are cases when urxvtc + urxvtd are working:

1. When I run urxvtd or ``urxvtd -q -o -f'', then urxvtc and I use Alt+Shift+Return or dmenu to spawn a new terminal in dwm - it does crash urxvtd / ``urxvtd -q -o -f'' process!
2. When I run urxvtd or ``urxvtd -q -o -f'', then urxvtc from other terminal (xterm or urxvt) it does start without crashing urxvtd / ``urxvtd -q -o -f'',
3. When I run urxvtd or ``urxvtd -q -o -f'', then urxvtc from other terminal (xterm or urxvt) it does start without a problem, and Alt+Shift+Return / dmenu works again without crashing urxvtd / ``urxvtd -q -o -f'', but when I close first instance of urxvtc that I have started from xterm and then try to start it by dwm's Alt+Shift+Return / dmenu it does again crash urxvtd or ``urxvtd -q -o -f'' with error:

zsh: bus error  urxvtd

That's what I have defined in my config.h for urxvt:

static const char *termcmd[]  = { "urxvtc", NULL };

static Key keys[] = {
  /* modifier                     key        function        argument */
  { MODKEY|ShiftMask,             XK_Return, spawn,          {.v = termcmd } },

I have also tried to recompile dwm, doesn't helps either.

I believe that the situation is pretty frustrating. I'm using almost the same setup -- with the exception of bash instead of zsh -- and everything is working fine here. What you may want to check out (that's what I would do myself): switch the default shell back to bash and see if the error occurs again, or create a new user for testing purposes with only the generic configuration files in $HOME and test the behaviour of urxvt{d,c} there.

I think, the problem could be in the module "tabbed". It is in your configuration, but not in the one posted by jasonwryan.

Problem fixed.

In file ~/.xinitrc I had a line to load my ~/.Xresources settings

[[ -f ${HOME}/.Xresources ]] && xrdb ${HOME}/.Xresources

Changed to

[[ -f ${HOME}/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge ${HOME}/.Xresources

And problem have disappeared. I think it's definitely solved because I've restarted X server few times and urxvtd+urxvtc is stable, no crashes occured. xrdb needs -merge option, otherwise rxvt-unicode-patched (and rxvt-unicode from community) turns into strange behaviour here.

bohoomil · 2012-07-02 14:11:21

So it turns out that my last hint would help to solve it anyway, as the goal was to eliminate possible errors in custom config files. Please, don't forget to mark the thread as [SOLVED].
