Description:
Xdummy crashes as soon as xpra connects.

I am trying Xpra on a kubuntu eoan (19.10) system. On this kind of system I have successfully used
xpra many times in the past. However, I am now encountering crashes that make it impossible to use it.
My system is a laptop with an intel i7-10510U cpu (comet lake) and integrated Intel HD graphics 620 (I believe).

For testing purposes I am attempting to use Xpra locally

xpra start :101
DISPLAY=:101 xterm &
xpra attach ssh:localhost:101

at this point, the xterm is briefly shown but xdummy crashes right after. Using --opengl=no does not seem to
make any difference.

Any hint?

Just noticed that the xpra bug-report tool spills out too much information to be pasted on a public forum, like here. User details like real name, public host name + user account.
Is there any way to permanently delete a ticket?

[totaam]

I've removed the keyboard mapping and audio information since this is just a waste of space for an Xdummy related problem.

xpra start :101
DISPLAY=:101 xterm &

Always use: xpra start :101 --start=xterm instead.

Unless I can reproduce this bug on my test system, it is fair to assume that this problem is specific to your system.

at this point, the xterm is briefly shown but xdummy crashes right after.

Does the server crash? Or the client?

If the server, please run it with -d all and attach the server log.
If the client, please post the client output (also running it with -d all).

I'll try to get further info using the flags you suggested. In the meantime, thanks for removing the keyboard mapping and audio information. Please, can the hostname in host: entry be also removed from the system Xpra version, platform and host information section above?

[totaam]

Please, can the hostname in host: entry be also removed..

Done.

As per segfault in OsLookupColor: OsLookupColor is just a default function the backtracer seems to pick up when it craps itself out
InitFonts is also in your backtrace, so this may be similar: a problem with your font config is triggering a crash.

My guess is that your Xorg installation is borked.
You should be able to reproduce this crash without xpra, just by running:

/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg -noreset -novtswitch -nolisten tcp +extension GLX +extension RANDR +extension RENDER -auth $XAUTHORITY -logfile /tmp/test.log -config /etc/xpra/xorg.conf'

If that still crashes, try downgrading the dummy driver - or removing the one provided in the xpra repository.

To workaround this bug, you may want to just switch to Xvfb in /etc/xpra/conf.d/55_server_x11.conf.

Weird, this is an almost new installation of kubuntu 19.10... got the latptop end of Jan.
The only non-standard thing is that I have the pristine texlive and the os configured to pick up the fonts in the texlive distro. Main xorg never got a problem either.

I have also tried more recent xorg drivers (from one of the ubuntu ppas) and downgrading xdummy to the distro version... does not change.

Making more tests I have noticed that:

• most of the time the Xorg-Xdummy server only crashes at the xpra attach;
• only in some rare situations it crashes at startup or launching an application;
• Xdummy in the logs seems to pickup the SWRAST GL driver rather than the usual llvmpipe I was used to see.

I'll now try to disable the texlive fonts and making your Xorg direct invocation experiment.

Just tested:
/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg :101 -noreset -novtswitch -nolisten tcp +extension GLX +extension RANDR +extension RENDER -auth /tmp/xauth-1000-_0 -logfile /tmp/test.log -config /etc/xpra/xorg.conf
runs without a hiccup. Obviously I cannot see anything, but I managed launching google-chrome there and running glxinfo which tells me that that DISPLAY is getting GL from llvmpipe.

I was forgetting. Xvfb works fine. ... bug still Xdummy is nicer to have if possible, so I'd be glad to do more tests if you think it is worthy...

I was forgetting. Xvfb works fine

Then you should probably switch to that.

Xorg-for-Xpra-:101: ../../../../../../include/privates.h:121: dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion key->initialized' failed.`

Yes, definitely not an xpra bug.
Something is messed up.

Upgraded the ubuntu machine from 19.10 to 20.04 and the issue is gone.

Another lubuntu 19.10 machine (an intel minipc) I have checked did the same, showed the issue and then not anymore after an upgrade to 20.04. So it seems an ubuntu eoan thing.

Can be closed for me, and thanks for the assistance.
