cant start firefox after a pacman -Syu

eduac · 2006-04-30 00:43:13

hi all,

I cant start the firefox after a pacman -Syu. I get this error message:

The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 185 error_code 1 request_code 150 minor_code 23)
(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 --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

anyone can help me?

sure, I can help you. Downgrade libxfixes.

I believe they pushed out a new version of libxfixes this afternoon that solved the issue...it did for me at least. So downgrading shouldn't be necessary AFAIK.

I have exactly the same problem (except that a lot more stuff's not working). I have the newest version of libxfixes. Downloaded it again but it didn't help me.

Do you have libxfixes 3.0.1.2-2 ? If not, install it.

riwa · 2006-04-30 21:22:51

I have libxfixes 4.0*. Should I downgrade? How so how do I do that?

If you still have it in your cache you can do it by:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/blabla.pkg.tar.gz

I had the same problem with firefox failing.
Yesterday I did another pacman -Syu and now every thing is back to normal.

Chman · 2006-04-30 21:50:56

[chman@a11w ~]$ pacman -Ss libxfixes
current/libxfixes 3.0.1.2-2
    X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extension library

Just do a pacman -Syu. They changed back libxfixes to 3.0.1.2-2.

I downgraded it like penguin suggested. It's now working fine. I still get the "locale not supported by C library" message though.

T-Dawg · 2006-04-30 23:17:42

uncomment your locale in /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen as root.

riwa · 2006-05-01 11:16:14

I still get that message after restarting X. I saw, however, while browsing through the locale.gen file that there was an entry for my swedish locales. Should I enable them instead?

isn't that what I just said?

riwa · 2006-05-01 22:38:06

I understood that I should comment my setting (I see now that I misread it :oops: ) and then run locale-gen. However, since it didn't work, I did actually uncomment (one of) my locales and ran locale-gen. No improvement here though. I guess I'll just try every swedish locale and see if it works then.

[edit]
I get a strange message when doing locale -a.

004114/Share/video/misc/WSOP 2005# locale -a
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX

Rebooting now with next (and last) swedish locales.

Nope! No improvement here. Still the same message and no more locales to try. I fear that message above might have a finger in the hand.
