#46693: gedit @3.14.2_0 crashes when opening a file -------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: braumann@… | Owner: devans@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gedit | -------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by devans@…): I don't have a 10.6 system available to test but I don't see this problem when running on 10.9 or 10.10. In my case, when opening a file from the command line, I see the following warning only and the file opens correctly {{{ gedit Portfile ** (gedit:79874): WARNING **: Set document metadata failed: Setting attribute metadata::gedit-language not supported }}} saving the file works correctly and the following additional warnings are emitted {{{ ** (gedit:79879): CRITICAL **: gedit_spell_checker_language_to_key: assertion 'lang != NULL' failed ** (gedit:79879): WARNING **: Set document metadata failed: Setting attribute metadata::gedit-encoding not supported }}} Similar results when opening a file from the menu or editing a file from scratch. The messages that I would consider significant are these (from your report) {{{ (gedit:82202): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GtkSeparator': out of memory (gedit:82202): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GtkBox': out of memory (gedit:82202): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GtkHeaderBar': out of memory (gedit:82202): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GtkPaned': out of memory (gedit:82202): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GeditWindow': out of memory (gedit:82202): Gdk-WARNING **: gedit: Fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server /tmp/launch-XogDzn/org.x:0. }}} Is it possible that you really are running out of memory? Can you try and shut down as many other apps that may be running as possible? What does Activity Monitor say about memory consumption? Is there a diagnostic report available in Console when the app crashes? Can you post it? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46693#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
