Sonata crashes when fetching cover art manually

Hi y'all!

I haven't manually used a remote cover art in a while, so I'm not sure when this started, was it after a certain upgrade or what? But now when I'm trying to change the image by right clicking it and selecting "Use Remote Image.." sonata starts fetching nicely but then crashes with:
python: xcb_lock.c:77: _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed.
Aborted

Does anyone else have the same problem? It's not really something that bothers me too much, but I know it used to work just fine not too long ago. I tried google for it, but didn't anything useful (..that is something I would've understood )

Re: Sonata crashes when fetching cover art manually

It works fine here. That's a pretty scary message too, it's not even a python traceback. Have you -Syu'ed recently? Maybe try reinstalling libxcb?

Re: Sonata crashes when fetching cover art manually

Thank's for the suggestion but no luck yet and yes I have a habbit of -Syu'ing atlaest once a week. By reinstalling, did you mean remove and then install or just "upgrade anyway"? Actually I just noticed it doesn't crash everytime, but I have no idea is what's the difference or is it really just random?
I also found nedit not working. Since both seem to be X related, here's the output if it's of any help.

$ nedit
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  70 (X_PolyFillRectangle)
  Serial number of failed request:  319
  Current serial number in output stream:  329

All information I found on that one seemed to be about a year old. Also, sonata release 0.9 fixed a bug "Prevent infrequent crash when fetching album art". Wonder what's recreating all of these things to me now?

Re: Sonata crashes when fetching cover art manually

A little update on the situation.

Today I -Syu'ed my other computer and now it's doing the same thing. So it isn't just me now, it's my other computer too Here's the list of packages (output of pacman -Qu) that were upgraded. I know many of those are of no relevance to the problem, but just in case..

Remove: slocate  libgl-dri 

Targets: mlocate-0.18-1  libgl-7.0.1-1  binutils-2.18-4  codecs-20071007-1 
         cups-1.3.4-1  curl-7.17.1-1  fakeroot-1.8.4-1  firefox-2.0.0.9-1 
         gawk-3.1.6-1  gcc-4.2.2-3  gcc-libs-4.2.2-2  glibc-2.7-6 
         glproto-1.4.9-1  gnutls-2.0.2-1  hal-0.5.10-1  hal-info-0.20071030-1 
         iputils-20070202-3  kernel-headers-2.6.23.1-1  lcms-1.17-2 
         libarchive-2.4.0-1  libcups-1.3.4-1  libldap-2.3.39-1 
         libsamplerate-0.1.2-4  libx11-1.1.3-6  libxcb-1.1-1  man-pages-2.67-1 
         mesa-7.0.1-1  mplayer-1.0rc2-1  ncurses-5.6-5  opencdk-0.6.5-1 
         openssl-0.9.8g-1  pciutils-2.2.8-2  renderproto-0.9.3-1 
         ruby-1.8.6_p111-3  sudo-1.6.9p7-1  syslog-ng-2.0.5-5  usbutils-0.73-4 
         util-linux-ng-2.13.0.1-1  xcb-proto-1.1-1 
         xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2-2  xf86-input-mouse-1.2.3-1 
         xf86-video-ati-6.7.195-3  xf86-video-vesa-1.3.0-5  xorg-server-1.4-5

So, a bunch of X related packages there. If it _really_ is just me, maybe one of those packages is broken at the repo I'm using?? (thou I don't think it would even manage to install if it was..) I tried reinstalling libx11 libxcb and xcb-proto from a different repo, but still no luck.

Re: Sonata crashes when fetching cover art manually

That's funny. I was testing sonata once again and I found out that if I'm not using a tray icon, everything is working perfectly. I can't confirm this with my other computer, it's got other duties at the moment..
Any help would still be appreciated.

EDIT:

It seems like upgrading xorg-server to 1.4-6 solved this for me. I'll confirm when I get my other computer back home..

Re: Sonata crashes when fetching cover art manually

I should say that I did end up stumbling upon this issue a couple of times, but now I can't reproduce it anymore. Indeed, I think it's an issue in a some other package and is maybe fixed now? I tried for literally 5 minutes and couldn't get it to happen anymore.

Well, I guess this one's solved in a way or another then
