Description Will Stephenson 2007-05-09 13:13:42 UTC

novell-messenger-client-2.0.1-20060522

java: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.

See bugs 252510 and 256461.

This may also cause the client update to fail - I get an error message that the download failed to complete.

Comment 1 Stefan Dirsch 2007-05-09 13:48:04 UTC

Since Novell does *not* seem to have *any* contacts to SUN Java developers this needs to be workarounded with a wrapper script, which sets
LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK environment variable and executes the java binary
afterwards.

Comment 2 Will Stephenson 2007-07-17 08:38:53 UTC

Bump!  GWIM always fails on 100% of machines on 10.3, and the wrapper script is trivial...

Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2007-07-17 09:31:52 UTC

BTW, I can't find a single changelog entry in the package by the official maintainer. I suggest to simply fix it and submit the package for 10.3.

Comment 4 Will Stephenson 2007-07-17 11:46:37 UTC

I looked into this for groupwise-gwclient but the package is a nosrc, getpac delivers a finished RPM containing the existing /usr/bin/groupwise - and munging that would probably break its checksum.  GWIM is also closed source, so someone with access to that build system needs to do it.

Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2007-07-17 12:28:22 UTC

I thought that /opt/novell/groupwise/client/jre/bin/java needs to be replaced by a wrapper script as it's also done for other Java versions. But obviously I was wrong (it seems it uses libjava.so instead). Instead /usr/bin/groupwise needs to become a wrapper script, which sets LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK.

Comment 6 Will Stephenson 2007-07-24 11:20:27 UTC

/usr/bin/groupwise is already a shellscript, but it's in the inner rpm that only the maintainer can pokle.

Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2007-07-24 11:55:44 UTC

fixed.
