Title: GTK-critical errors
Post by: lorey on April 01, 2009, 04:12:20 PM: I've noticed these Gtk-CRITICAL errors ever since I started to use aMule (versions 2.1.3 through 2.2.3). The last error is repeated thousands of times in what seems to be an endless loop. Any idea how to stop them from appearing?

I'm using amd64 Debian testing, aMule 2.2.3 and libwxgtk 2.8.7.1

These can be found at: /home/username/.xsession-errors

Code: [Select]
(amule:6198): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_container_remove: assertion `GTK_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed (amule:6198): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_container_remove: assertion `GTK_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed ** (amule:6198): CRITICAL **: smooth_draw_box_gap: assertion `height >= -1' failed

Could it be more like a strict standards programming notice? (More like a notice rather than an error.)

So you should complain at Debian.

Post by: lorey on April 06, 2009, 01:46:04 PM: I uninstalled the old libwxgtk and amule. I then installed all necessary packages, compiled and installed libwxgtk 2.8.10 and amule 2.2.4 exactly as described at: http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo_Compile_In_Debian#Compile_and_install_aMule

But I still get those same errors.

Definitely, amule says that version 2.8.10 being used (I removed the old version anyway):

I'm using GNOME, just in case this has anything to do with it.

Title: Re: GTK-critical errors
Post by: lorey on April 06, 2009, 09:53:33 PM: There are no glitches nor visual impact. The only thing is that the /home/username/.xsession-errors file gets filled up with about 5000 repeated errors until that file reaches the limit and does not accept anymore errors.

Post by: Stu Redman on April 06, 2009, 10:13:53 PM: Seems to be a GTK bug. Wireshark apparently has it too, someone there has hacked GTK (http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200804/msg00351.html) to do away with the problem.

Post by: Stu Redman on June 29, 2009, 11:25:35 PM: Yeah, and they are not convinced I see.
We do not call GTK functions directly. wxWidgets does. So it might be an interaction problem between wx and GTK. Hard to say whose fault.
