Hi all,
I am having severe difficulty with version 768 of gpodder (I get all kinds of
xlib errors). This is what I found on the internet, maybe it helps:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/x-faq/part7/section-15.html
Sometimes, I also get a weirder error:
Exception in thread Thread-125:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/threading.py", line 442, in __bootstrap
self.run()

File "/home/rooijen/gpodder/src/gpodder/services.py", line 169, in __get_cover

Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x10ee1)!
*** glibc detected *** python: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08feee50 ***
make: *** [test] Killed
The 'glibc detected' thingie shows up on several fora but nothing seems to
point in a specific direction.
I think this bug may have to do with
http://bugs.gpodder.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150
but I'm not sure.
The error occurs when syncing episodes. It occurs more easily if I sync
multiple episodes at once (select a few, then click 'transfer'). It usually
happens after one or two successful syncs. But then again, sometimes gpodder
fails even before the sync waitbar is on the screen :-)). It also occurs when
syncing single episodes, but with a (slightly) lower frequency.
This bug happens so frequently now that I've given up syncing for today. Maybe
tomorrow the stars will align better and it'll work, don't know. All I can you
now, is that every time I start gpodder, it crashes on the first, second, or
third sync, quite reliably :-)).
Cheerio,
Wilfred
