ibus-x11 dumped core, causing emacs to crash.

pvk · 2023-08-02 20:27:36

My emacs has been freezing and crashing randomly. I haven't been able to reliably reproduce the problem, but the last two times it's happened, I found the following log message. This makes me think the issue is with X, though as far as I've seen, no programs besides emacs have been affected.

Any help, even just understanding what's going on or getting some log or error information from emacs, would be appreciated. Here's some info about my system:

Emacs 28.2, Spacemacs develop

Please let me know if any other information would be helpful!

My emacs has been freezing and crashing randomly.

15:03:25 systemd-coredum: Process 2101 (ibus-x11) of user 1000 dumped core.

Is there also a coredump for emacs?

This makes me think the issue is with X

More like a problem w/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IBus as for now, do you deliberately use that?

No, there's not, and it didn't print anything after crashing when running from terminal.

I do, but hadn't realized that's what it was called! I hadn't switched input methods before any of these crashes.

seth · 2023-08-03 18:50:04

Can you say when about this started and correlate that w/ the updates in your pacman log?
It's probably an ibus update or the update of glib2 that "broke" G_SLICE, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p2090065

coredumpctl records the first occurrence of this crash on 06-20 (can post the whole thing if it helps).

Would it be worth downgrading either ibus or glib2?

You apparently /installed/ ibus only in 6/18 so that's the probably cause for the crashes - doesn't help what introduced the bug, you simply were not using ibus before.

Right, that makes sense.

I think it's the same as this issue, which it looks like is fixed but not in the Arch package yet. I'll see if updating to the newest version from GitHub fixes the issue.

I am suffering from the same crashes for a while now on Intelijj.

Did you had any luck upgrading ibus?

pvk · 2023-10-17 02:40:51

I upgraded it pretty recently and, so far, have not had any issues (though I'm not 100% sure it's fixed since I don't know how to trigger the crash).

If you're interested in doing this, I basically followed these install instructions, but using the "configure" options (and following "sed" command) from the PKGBUILD. Would be great if they updated the Arch package.
