Dear Readers,

Today amule here stopt working.
The error i get is:
Initialising aMule
Checking if there is an instance already running...
No other instances are running.
HTTP download thread started
The program 'amule' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 748 error_code 11 request_code 145 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.)
~End

What to do next?

Kind regards,

   Peter

I believe this answer stops me using amule.

I tried xorg 7.3 for a few hours, but its quit unusable on OpenSUSE 10.3.
Its very slow (cpuusage at an avarage of 15%), strange shadows and effects.
Gkrellm is blinking trough the screensaver, background shines trough windows etc.
So i downgraded to xorg 7.2 and amule is unusable again.

Do you use openSuse? Oh sorry, I thought you used Ubuntu because recently there was a problem very similar in Ubuntu

[PedroGron77]

Found the answer.
There is no need for upgrade to xorg 7.3 (also not for other distros) 7.2  is good enough.
CVS version is not installable here (dep problems) and i could not understand the spanish response.

The answer is:
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf add:
Section "Extensions"
Option "MIT-SHM" "no"
EndSection

Hope someone can benefit from this answer.

CAUTION: This option reduces performance.

I think we should wait for the team OpenSuse launched an update to correct the problem.

At least that's what they did in Ubuntu.

[PedroGron77]

 Do not notice any performance loss here.

You mean a amule update?

[Festor]

I refer to OpenSuse update... it is a problem of xserver-xorg-core package, not aMule
