This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 198 error_code 11 request_code 146 minor_code 5) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) what is it ? p.s. thi is my free: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 514204 307568 206636 0 13360 173732 -/+ buffers/cache: 120476 393728 Swap: 999992 0 999992 p.s. some time ago it worked perfectly thankyou From jan at jgc.homeip.net Mon Feb 4 03:35:48 2008 From: jan at jgc.homeip.net (Jan de Groot) Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 09:35:48 +0100 Subject: [arch-ports] error in vlc 0.8.6c-1 In-Reply-To: <200802040858.34375.sacarde@tiscali.it> References: <200802040858.34375.sacarde@tiscali.it> Message-ID: <000c01c86708$f8f9aa10$eaecfe30$@homeip.net> > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: arch-ports-bounces at archlinux.org [mailto:arch-ports- > bounces at archlinux.org] Namens sacarde > Verzonden: maandag 4 februari 2008 8:59 > Aan: arch-ports at archlinux.org > Onderwerp: [arch-ports] error in vlc 0.8.6c-1 > > hi, > in archlinuxppc (current) in apple-mini > when I run vlc I have this error: > > VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus > The program '.' received an X Window System error. > This probably reflects a bug in the program. > The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. This is a bug in xorg-server. The latest xorg-server in extra contains a patch to solve this issue in most cases, the xorg-server in testing contains an updated patch to solve this issue completely. I guess these changes haven't been ported to ppc yet.

The BadAlloc message is also what you get when you have XV available, but not enough video memory to perform the XV operation you're trying to do. I've seen this often on a Matrox G450 with 16MB memory using 1280x1024x32 with DRI enabled, which eats all available memory for framebuffer and DRI, leaving nothing for XV.

While we are doing that, you may experience glitches here and there. Still, we hope we can offer a more stable experience once everything has been moved. Stay tuned, -kth5 [1] http://archlinuxppc.org/news/11/ From kth5 at archlinuxppc.org Thu Feb 28 11:28:57 2008 From: kth5 at archlinuxppc.org (Alexander Baldeck) Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 17:28:57 +0100 Subject: [arch-ports] [ppc] News: FTP Archive corrupted & fixed Message-ID: <47C6E149.8090205@archlinuxppc.org> Dear Archlinux PowerPC users, we just recently moved to another data center but since the old machine was still available, we kept on running ftp.archlinuxppc.org on there while ftp2.archlinuxppc.org was at the new location. Now that we've experienced checksum errors in the pkg.db & severe package reoccurring corruptions we shut down the machine completely. It will stay offline as we decided to get yet another blade at our new data center for redundancy of the archive. ftp.archlinuxppc.org has been updated to point at the new FTP service already and thus should either not be reachable or the correct server. In the best case you don't have to change your setup the slightest, if you provider's DNS caches, make sure to use ftp2.archlinuxppc.org. We're very sorry for the inconvenience and hope we didn't cause too much trouble, Your PPC Team
