https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D256408 Bug ID: 256408 Summary: devel/efl: efreetd crashes with "Abort trap", thus application menu icons disappear Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: enlightenment@FreeBSD.org Reporter: euan@potensol.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(enlightenment@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: enlightenment@FreeBSD.org Attachment #225539 text/plain mime type: Created attachment 225539 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D225539&action= =3Dedit Patch for devel/efl to fix eftreetd crash. I have discovered a pretty major bug in efl which affects efreetd and in tu= rn affects enlightenment. It happens when a large number of icons or theme resources / assets are installed into /usr/local/share/... The efreetd daem= on crashes with "Abort trap" error message when run from a users terminal. It causes the application menu icons to disappear, partially or fully. It can = also cause an error message about efreetd (cache) not connecting with a timeout.= It also causes problems with the initial enlightenment prompts with a fresh .e profile. I have a good solution that I have a patch for an immediate fix, until I ma= ke a PR with the upstream efl project. I'd like to hear the thoughts of the Free= BSD enlightenment team before I engage with them. Steps to reproduce: Install any major KDE app like Dolphin, Gwenview, Okular etc. Or specifical= ly kf5-breeze-icons. Then run efreetd as a regular user from a TTY (no X sessi= ons running). I have a more thorough description of the problem on the FreeBSD Forums: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/solved-enlightenment-application-menu-ic= ons-missing-due-to-efreetd-crashing.80743/ The patch is attached. Is it possible to get an enlightenment port revision with this patch out the door ASAP. I have been running it in production on my media-centre for almo= st 2 weeks now, no issues. Everything else seems fine, the performance seems to = be as good if not better than the same version of Enlightenment/EFL on Manjaro Linux (very similar hardware). It's a pretty urgent bug fix. I am new to enlightenment and loving it now. = But I very nearly turned my back on it an use KDE instead, before even giving i= t a chance. If I had known it would take me 2-3 solid weeks to find the bug I n= ever would have started. This is not just personal time, it is work time that I would not be spending, had I known how long it would take. It only took abo= ut 5 mins to fix once I found the problem, but that's usually how it goes with debugging. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
