Thread: XWindows crashes
Hi I have several RedHat 9 machines running PgAdmin III v 1.0.2. For the most part, PgAdmin is running well, but we have had frequent crashes. These crashes are usually associated with selecting and (possibly dragging) text in the SQL windows. The mouse cursor changes to a right-angle, and X-windows immediately stops responding to the mouse (with luck at this stage X will respond to ctrl-alt-backspace). I had a quick look through the archives and could not find any other reports of this problem. Has anyone got a work-around/fix? Thanks Greg Ford
I've had the same problem, gentoo 1.4, 2.6.3 kernel, xfree 4.3.3; happens w/kde, fluxbox, windowmaker. If I'm lucky, I can Alt-F to close the sql session and get my mouse back. Otherwise I need to flip to a virtual terminal and kill the pgadmin's pid. If the keyboard is completely unresponsive, I ssh in from another box, get the pid and kill -9 it. This happens at least once every day, I've remedied some of the problem by using the keyboard to select, copy, cut and paste text. For the most part, though, pgadmin3 saves me so much time, I don't get too annoyed with this error.

Dear Greg, I can confirm this kind of crash in all Debian snapshots. When we last discussed this freezing problem with Andreas, it seemed that the cause of the bugs were burried deeply into wxWindows. So, there is no easy fix to that problem. Cheers, Jean-Michel

Thanks anyway.

Jean Michel, can you have a try with pgadmin3-1.0.2 debian package v0.13 that can be found on http://www.enrici.com/pgadmin please ? The two files you need are these ones (built against debian unstable): pgadmin3-data_1.0.2-0.13_all.deb pgadmin3_1.0.2-0.13_i386.deb Please take care that this package is splitted in two packages : pgadmin3 and pgadmin3-data. (apt-get --purge remove pgadmin3 before installing the new ones) Tell me if you are subject to this kind of crash with it.

The new Debian packages seem to work fine. When will these packages be pushed into unstable? I could not reproduce the freezing bug. Some remarks: - - Another bug concerning adding users is gone (it used to crash). - - Fonts do not display well as usual (see a screenshot: http://developer.pgadmin.org/jean-michel/screenshots/problem_font.png). I know this is another wx issue.

Hi Jean-Michel, >The new Debian packages seem to work fine. When will these packages be pushed >into unstable? I'm glad to read this! :) Wait a little for them to enter... It's on the way. Don't break my future surprise ;) On which version of wxWindows snapshot are the actual 1.0.2 rpms versions built ? >Some remarks: >- - Another bug concerning adding users is gone (it used to crash). nice too. We must be sure of this before claiming it's ok. >- - Fonts do not display well as usual (see a screenshot: >http://developer.pgadmin.org/jean-michel/screenshots/problem_font.png). >I know this is another wx issue. shhhh...t! Greg, and others suffering from these bugs, I'll post a cumulated patch describing all the steps I followed to build thesedebian packages. The only patch which is not a pure pgAdmin3 patch concerns wxWindows help crash posted by Andreas inlate 2003. I hope these patches which are all backports from 1.1.0 snapshot will give birth to a 1.0.3 or something like this. I really hope we will be able to produce working rpms correcting this. Pushing this thread to pgadmin-hackers. Regards, Raphaël
