segmentation fault
m-wells opened this issue · comments
I'm using Arch Linux (3.18.5-1 kernel). With a fresh clone I get the following issue.
:> make
Testing for X11...
gcc -O3 -std=c99 -Wall -Wformat -Wunused-variable -pedantic -Wno-unused-result ./tests/x11test.c -o ./x11test -lX11
Looks good.
Testing for OpenGL...
gcc -O3 -std=c99 -Wall -Wformat -Wunused-variable -pedantic -Wno-unused-result ./tests/gltest.c -o ./gltest -lGL
Looks good.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Any idea what is going on here?
I have libgl and libX11 installed.
Well, the segfault's occurring after detect_de, which means that it's either in detect_wm, detect_wm_theme, or detect_gtk. Of those, detect_wm is the most likely because of its EWMH pointer voodoo.
Could you run a backtrace of the binary in gdb or a similar tool? Also, what window manager are you using? If it isn't EWMH compliant, it could be that I'm missing a failsafe somewhere.
Thanks for reporting this.
Best,
William

I'm using XMonad.
I was able to resolve this issue by adding setWMName "LG3D" to my LogHook (in my xmonad.hs file). Now I get
:> ./screenfetch-c

I can suppress the error message by redirecting the error stream
~/builds/screenfetch-c/screenfetch-c 2> /dev/null
but this feels sloppy.

Alright, that clears it up.
It seems that XMonad supports EWMH and actually responds to _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK with a Window * as expected, but that Window doesn't actually contain the _NET_WM_NAME atom expected unless explicitly configured with setWMName.
I'm going to install XMonad and do some testing. Hopefully I'll be able to fix it today or tomorrow.
Also, to suppress that error message about the desktop environment, use the -E flag.
Best,
William
Try building from f0915aa.
That condition change prevents the segfault on my XMonad.
This might actually be an upstream issue - AFAIK, window managers are not supposed to set _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK and succeed without also providing a valid _NET_WM_NAME, which XMonad doesn't unless manually specified.
Best,
William
This does indeed resolve the segmentation fault. I can now build it with or without explicitly setting the WM name. I do still receive the following error message

Great!
If you don't have a DE installed, that error message will always occur (but can be suppressed with -E).
I eventually intend to refactor screenfetch-c so that the 'DE: ' field doesn't show up at all on systems without one.
Thanks again for reporting the bug,
William
