Subject: [ISSUE] Emacs (29.4) PGTK crashes on Void Linux
Date: Sat, 16 Nov 2024 23:43:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <gh-mailinglist-notifications-41a7ca26-5023-4802-975b-f1789d68868e-void-packages-53098@inbox.vuxu.org> (raw)

New issue by grtcdr on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/53098
Description:
### Is this a new report?
Yes
### System Info
Void 6.6.61_1 x86_64-musl GenuineIntel uptodate rrFFFF
### Package(s) Affected
emacs-pgtk-29.4_2
### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2024-11/msg00817.html
### Expected behaviour
`emacs` should launch without the referenced warning and render properly without causing a segfault.
### Actual behaviour
When starting `emacs` or `emacs -Q` under a Wayland compositor, specifically Sway, Emacs displays the following warning message:
```
(emacs:8670): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: 13:38:44.606: Error loading XPM image loader: Image type “xpm” is not supported
```
And then proceeds to segfault (see backtrace [emacs.gdb.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17788159/emacs.gdb.txt) for more information, but the culprit function should be a `cairo_surface_create_similar_image()` call, as mentioned in the upstream report) as shown by this message:
```
Fatal error 11: Segmentation fault
zsh: segmentation fault emacs
```
I spoke with the core maintainer and they asked that I verify that the XPM library is installed at the distribution-level. I have it installed:
```
~ $ xbps-query -Rs xpm
[*] libXpm-3.5.17_1 X PixMap Library from modular Xorg X11
```
What makes that warning out of place is that invoking the following code to check if the `xpm` image loader is supported actually returns `t`; thankfully the batch processor which doesn't require opening a client window and rendering a surface works (and so does `emacs -nw` of course).
```
$ emacs -Q -batch --eval "(message \"%s\" (image-type-available-p 'xpm))"
=> t
```
Eli, the core maintainer, suggested that this problem may be due to a GTK issue. What do you think?
### Steps to reproduce
1. Install `emacs-pgtk`
2. Run `emacs` or `emacs -Q`
