Greetings ... Requesting troubleshooting help:

I compiled fldigi-4.1.25 (from tarball) on a debian 11 system running xfce4 (xfwm4 version 4.16.1). fldigi causes the window manager (xfwm4) and the panel (xfce4-panel) to crash with the error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(xfwm4:25573): Gdk-ERROR **: 16:20:05.223: The program 'xfwm4' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
? (Details: serial 73045 error_code 9 request_code 14 (core protocol) minor_code 0)
?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deleted .fldigi directory and ran fldigi. Same result as above. Trace file is attached.

Prior to compiling 4.1.25, i was using 4.1.23 (built from source). 4.1.23 works without any issues on the same system.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am having the exact same symptoms here: fldigi 4.1.25 (and 4.1.25.01) causes xfwm4 and the panel to crash. 4.1.23 works fine. I am running Debian Bookworm (i.e. Ver 12, currently in testing) on Intel h/w with Xfce4 Ver 4.18. I have rebuilt both versions of fldigi with the same results. Does fldigi use D-Bus? Could that be related?

Hi Dave,

I will attempt to do this, but I'm not well versed in using git. I have done the steps you listed here and run git bisect start, bad, and good with v4.1.23, which seemed to work as I get this:

---------------

$ git bisect good v4.1.23
Bisecting: 18 revisions left to test after this (roughly 4 steps)
[9fefd778f0dd3d5fc6bbe5adbc55665dca1fa3ae] monitor audio

But when I try to build it, ./configure works but then I get this for make:

I am still trying to replicate this crash report.? In the meantime sugges you try a build with fewer concurrent instances of g++.

$ ./configure --disable-flarq

So I just realized I misstated my problem - maybe I wasn't awake yet. It was actually on my shack computer (RPi 4) not my main workstation (Intel i5) So here is the actual setup with the problem:

Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB RAM
64 bit Debian Bullseye
Xfce4 Ver 4.16

But... I have also been able to build and test fldigi 4.1.24 and it exhibits the same failure, so the problem is somewhere between 4.1.23 and 4.1.24. Maybe that narrows it down a bit. (For what it's worth, I don't see the problem on my Intel machine with the same versions)

I will give the git bisect another try on the right machine and get back to you.

Built Fldigi 4.1.25 without flarq and with "time make -j 4" ... same crash of xfwm4 and panel.

Attached are the following:
- config summary
- strace output

Thanks for the help in troubleshooting/? Pl. let me know if i can help in any way.

Have a good week.
