Description Vojtech Sobota 2021-02-09 23:37:03 UTC
Description of problem:
Geeqie is not responding when started with the -r (--remote) option. Similarly, if an existing instance of Geeqie is already running and another one is invoked with the option the existing window freezes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.5.1-4.git26c4dad.fc33

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Geeqie with the -r option.

       $ geeqie -r

Actual results:
The Geeqie window appears but it is not responsive. The console output shows something like this:

    Remote Geeqie not running, starting...

    (geeqie:5742): GLib-CRITICAL **: 23:18:14.789: g_io_channel_set_line_term: assertion 'length_size > G_MAXUINT' failed

    (geeqie:5744): GLib-CRITICAL **: 23:18:14.789: g_io_channel_set_line_term: assertion 'length_size > G_MAXUINT' failed

At this point I can hit Ctrl+C. If I do so an output such as the following appears and the Geeqie window becomes responsive.

    (geeqie:5744): GLib-WARNING **: 23:27:19.615: ../glib/giounix.c:410Error while getting flags for FD: Bad file descriptor (9)


    (geeqie:5744): GLib-WARNING **: 23:27:19.615: Invalid file descriptor.

    (geeqie:5744): GLib-WARNING **: 23:27:19.615: Invalid file descriptor.

    (geeqie:5744): GLib-WARNING **: 23:27:19.615: Error flushing string: Bad file descriptor

Expected results:
The Geeqie window appears and is responsive without having to intervene with Ctrl+C in the console.

Additional info:
There's been a GLib update recently. I wonder if it has anything to do with it. My glib2 version is 2.66.6-1.fc33.x86_64.

I see similar since an update the last 2 days.

trying to open an picture (jpeg) from nautilus get's me an black window in geepie and empty boxes on the left side.

running journalctl -f shows:

... geeqie[3965]: g_io_channel_set_line_term: assertion 'length_size > G_MAXUINT' failed
... geeqie[3969]: g_io_channel_set_line_term: assertion 'length_size > G_MAXUINT' failed

doing "geeqie <name>.jpeg" in an terminal geeqie works as usual !

Comment 2 Ronald Warsow 2021-02-12 16:20:49 UTC
my case seems to be fixed with glib2-2.66.7-1

thanks
