    issue with X

    Hello,

    Since i moved to Dapper, i'm facing problems with graphical apps.
    Launching an app from console, here is what i get :


    skaboss@AlBundy:~$ mysql-query-browser
    X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
    Major opcode: 145
    Minor opcode: 3
    Resource id: 0x0
    Failed to open device
    X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
    Major opcode: 145
    Minor opcode: 3
    Resource id: 0x0
    Failed to open device


    Nonetheless, the app runs well, but when i perform certain operation, it crashes with this message :


    ** (mysql-query-browser:14804): WARNING **: requested widget 'charset_combo' with the wrong type
    segmentation fault



    Does anyone have a clue ?

    Thanks.

    That is similar to what I get when I run KWrite. Everything still runs fine though.

      Re: issue with X

      this happens because ?ubuntu adds support for touchpads and their "pencils" in the xorg.conf by default which you don't seem to have.

      goto your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and remove all the lines in the input sections with "touchpad" and "wacom". don't forget to also remove them at the "ServerLayout" - section. then restart the x-server (ctrl+alt+backspace).

      if you don't want to alter your xorg.conf you can also safely ignore these warnings.

      see my xorg.conf if you are unsure
      Code:
      # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

        Re: issue with X

        Hey, thanks! I commented out the parts that noted it was for Tablet PCs and it did eliminate half of what I get. I still get the following, but I can live with that for now. Thanks!

          Are you using SCIM? You should be using SKIM with KDE. It's one of the reasons to upgrade to Dapper.

            Hi, and thaks for the tip.
            I commented out all lines related to wacom, and i don't get warnings anymore.
            However, my app still crashes when i perform certain operations :


            ** (mysql-query-browser:14804): WARNING **: requested widget 'charset_combo' with the wrong type
            segmentation fault


            The exact same app worked fine in Breezy...

              segmentation fault = reinstall the app in my experience

              Open synaptic, right click the app and click completely remove.

                No, I'm not using SCIM. I don't even know what that is. other than what I've done to get AMAROK 1.4 and Citrix working I've done nothing but the base install of the last Beta. Where would I remove references to SCIM?

                  makes me think of a QT/gtk problem, but i don't have the skills to investigate further...

                      Moonfish: SCIM is a program that permits people to use languages (primarily, but not exclusively asian) that do not lend themselves to iso-8859 representations. SKIM is the KDE version. Your error message:
                      kded: cannot connect to X server :0.0
                      kded: ERROR: KUniqueApplication: Registering failed!
                      kded: ERROR: Communication problem with kded, it probably crashed.

                      ~ScimInputContextPlugin()
                      seems to imply difficulties with Scim. Since you shouldn't have any references to scim, I have no idea wher to look to delete them. I would suggest starting a konsole and giving the command "locate scim".

                        Thanks! This is the output of that - long BTW. It finds references to Keyboard and Desktop settings, I think. Could it have been something I had to load to get Citrix Client working?

                          Re: issue with X

                          It's got to be due to something, because the only refrences I have when I run "locate scim" are
                          Code:
                          /usr/share/gnome-app-install/icons/scim-setup.png
/usr/share/gnome-app-install/scin-setup.desktop
                          which indicates that they only appeared when I loaded Ubuntu-desktop just to see whether Gnome had gotten any better in the last five or six years. So a stock Kubuntu installation has no scim.

                          One way to check would be to find the skim packages in synaptic (not adept) mark them for removal and see what else synaptic would remove if you tried to remove scim. Don't try this in Adept because Adept won't give the output of other things that will get removed; and getting that output is the only reason for doing this.
