Subject: xserver-xfree86 (and related packages from source) upgrade breaks kdm, sylpheed-claws

Date: Sun, 08 Jun 2003 02:50:58 -0400

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-7
Severity: grave

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

After upgrading from 4.2.1-6 to 4.2.1-7, first sylpheed-claws could not
start (something about a key mismatch and not being able to connect to
the display, I didn't manage to get the full error message down).

After logging out of KDE (3.1), kdm took back over and immediately
started failing. I restarted kdm, but the screen flickered a few times,
and the following showed up in syslog. surgo is merely my machine name:

Jun  8 02:32:10 surgo kdm[15884]: Greeter exited unexpectedly

signal 0
Jun  8 02:32:34 surgo kdm[15882]: Display :0 is being disabled
(restarting too fast)

The problems I found were with sylpheed-claws and kdm, but I believe
this is a general X11 problem because they were both broken upon X11's
upgrade to 2.4.1-7

Subject: xserver-xfree86 upgrade breaks X authorization

Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2003 12:46:31 +0300

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-7
Followup-For: Bug #196575

After upgrading several X packages (xlibs, xbase-clients,
xserver-common, xserver-xfree86 and more) I was unable to start any new
X programs.  For example, xterm would complain

  Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
  Xlib: Invalid XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key (failed key comparison)
  xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0

I logged out hoping that KDM would generate a new key and fix things,
but it didn't work -- KDM greeter is unable to connect to the X server
either and KDM just aborts.

I have nearly the same problem with XDM -- the login dialog works, but
my .xsession aborts with the same Invalid XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key
message.

GDM2 (Unofficial package from http://non-us.debian.org woody/gnome2)
works fine.

Plain startx used to work before I tried xdm/gdm, but now doesn't.

Subject: xserver-xfree86: I agree it's a general problem

Date: Sun, 08 Jun 2003 12:13:22 +0200

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-7
Followup-For: Bug #196575

I also agree it's a general problem: after the upgrade I weren't able
to start an X program anymore. I tried to restart xdm, but then X didn't
work at all, it closed suddenly after logging in. (Also xdm was
graphically changed, after restarting...)

If I try to manually start the server it works, showing me the
"classical" grey background with the mouse as an X, but no client is able 
to connect to it. Here is what the console reports:

waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
AUDIT: Sun Jun  8 12:09:19 2003: 716 X: client 1 rejected from local

Xlib: Invalid XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key (failed key comparison)
..
  

Thanks for any help!

Guido

PS I'm going back to 4.2.1-6 from testing, hoping it works again...

This data point is not consistent with any other reports.  Are you
*sure* startx doesn't work?

If it doesn't work, is it because of the error messages above, or
because of some other reason (e.g., a bad $HOME/.xinitrc)?

It is premature to say this is an Xlib problem.  I was able to make the
problem go away on my pre-4.2.1-7 builds by downgrading *only*
xserver-xfree86 to 4.2.1-6.

Now, of course, xdm works fine for me in 4.2.1-7 because of this:

      + GCC 3.3 appears to produce bad code for PowerPC at the optimization
        level required by Debian Policy (the X server cannot validate
        XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 keys); when building on PowerPC, set
        DefaultGcc2OptimizeOpt to -O instead of -O2

I guess it produces bad code for *all* architectures at -O2.  Wonderful.

Quite sure, I can reproduce it:

1) start xdm
2) log in
3) get the login screen back

At this point ~/.xsession-errors contains just three lines of text with
the same "connection refused by server" error message, coming from xrdb
this time.  (xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources is called early in my ~/.xsession
script, although it is not the first X client started -- xsetroot is the
first one, but strangely it does not complain.)

4) kill xdm
5) startx

I get the default X background pattern with an X-shaped mouse cursor,
and the following messages on the console:

[...]

giving up.
xinit:  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

I killed the X server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace after several seconds, I
guess, that's when xinit said "giving up".


It looks like that startx starts working again once I login successfully
with gdm2.  I guess the contents of my ~/.Xauthority have something to
do with it.

I've performing some tests with ~/.Xauthority removed:
1) startx creates two MIT-MAGIC-COOKIEs and works just fine, when
   .Xauthority is empty before running startx
2) kdm fails to show its login greeter and leaves an empty .Xauthority
   (obviously, since I never had the opportunity to log in)
3) gdm2 creates lots of MIT-MAGIC-COOKIEs and works just fine
4) xdm shows the login dialog but my .Xsession aborts with
      Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
      Xlib: Invalid XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key (failed key comparison)
      xrdb: Can't open display ':0'
5) xdm leaves ~/.Xauthority full of MIT-MAGIC-COOKIEs and
   XDM-AUTHORIZATION keys.  When these are present in .Xauthority file,
   startx stops working.

So it looks like the presence of XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 keys breaks the
authorization.

I've saved copies of .Xauthority after each step.  Are you interested in
the output of 'xauth list' on each of those?

For me, a plain startx will start X (and KDE) without failure, although 
trying to run kdm will still fail. Other applications that you then 
start will also work. That's a relief.

Branden,
   We have never seen this problem with gcc 3.3 builds of XFree86
4.3.0, right? It sounds like it might be better to just push
XFree86 4.3.0 into sid and shake out the remaining bugs there.
Now that freetype6 has been regressed back to a binary compatible
state are there really that many bugs keeping 4.3.0 out of sid?

Bzzzt, stop right there.

What makes you think anyone has any Debian XFree86 packages of 4.3.0
built with GCC 3.3?  That version of the compiler was made the default
in unstable *after* Daniel Stone did his last release in the "ds"
experimental series.

Please stop being so reckless with your assumptions.

4.3.0-0pre1v1 does, in fact, show the same symptoms when built with
gcc3.3, apparently. 4.3.0-0ds4 don't show the symptoms due to being
built with gcc3.2 (as was default at the time).

I'm going to see if I can shake this issue down after exams (four days),
but it basically looks like gcc3.3 is *just* *not* *ready*. It doesn't
build XFree86 at all on a couple of architectures, it ICEs on KDE on
mips{,el}, it has numerous regressions, and seems to compile broken code
at higher optimization levels.

Yay.

a) builds != works.
b) Where did you obtain those sources? Only my private repository for

Daniel,
   From http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xfree86/, I built the
branches-4.3.0-sid-debian-2003.06.07.tar.gz. This is against
current debian ppc sid plus todays freetype6 2.1.4-4 package.
The resulting xfree86 packages, when installed, allow me to
telnet back into my machine and open a xcalc in the current
xserver. If I should be trying to see this breakage in some
other way let me know but everything runs fine here.
                                 Jack
ps The only other difference I can think of is that I am
running the current debian glibc cvs package for 2.3.2-1.

You need to start a ?dm. I've been told that my 4.3.0 packages exhibit
the same breakage (miscompilation). We already know that startx and
running apps works, it's the ?dm stuff that breaks.

Please read bug reports before you dismiss them.

Well, you say they exhibit no "evidence" of this bug, and Daniel Stone
says they do.

You two fight out amongst yourselves.

There is still a lot of work to be done before 4.3.0 is ready for
release to unstable and I am not going to knuckle under to lame,
opportunistic pressure-group tactics like yours as an excuse to pretend
that work isn't necessary.

Jack, please stop mailing these bug reports until you have some actual
data, rather than opinions, to share.

Let's not forget that cpp's -traditional mode is broken, too.

This is the best reason I've yet seen for imposing access controls on
that directory, or discontinuing this service entirely.

Jack, I don't need your kind of "help", where every problem is used by
an excuse to make disruptive changes and updates to bleeding edge code.

Using bleeding-edge code masquerading as a release (GCC 3.3) is what
got us *into* the current mess with XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1.

I am tempted to ask the Debian BTS admins to blacklist all of Jack's

I've the same problem neither xdm/kdm nor startx work...

Have you exited all local running X sessions, deleted $HOME/.Xauthority,
and then tried startx again?
