Tixati seg fault in BSPWM

by Guest on 2025/03/29 06:53:25 AM

Tixati dumps core when started or soon after it is started.

OS: Linux
Arch: x86_64
Kernel: 6.13.8-zen1-1-zen
Desktop Environment/Window Manger: BSPWM
Tixati Version: 3.33

Steps to reproduce:
Run tixati
Move the mouse around.
Click some buttons.
If it's not dead yet, open a torrent/magnet link.
Output:

(tixati:23659): Gtk-WARNING **: 07:41:11.794: Theme parsing error: gtk-contained-dark.css:2871:228: Missing closing bracket for :not()
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Other circumstances:
I experience the issue for a few weeks/months now. I don't how it started, probably with a system wide update. Since then I've tried with a number of Tixati versions, the portable variant, a number of different kernels, as well as deleting the ~/.tixati folder. The problem persists.

If it makes any difference, I install Tixati from the AUR.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tixati

Opening Tixati in a Cinnamon (Desktop Environment) session does not cause the issue. Tixati crashes almost always when I open it in the BSPWM window manager.

Please, help.

Please, let me know if I can help debug this in any way.

Thanks for the crash reports. The Dev is working on this and it should be fixed in the next release.

Maybe tixati is calling a deprecated method `gtk_tray_icon_manager_filter` that is now also removed in GTK.

by Guest on 2025/04/11 10:15:48 AM

I diasbled the system tray from the tixati settings, (in a Cinnamon session). The exact issue persists.

I was unable to recreate this problem with the limited amount of time I had to prepare v3.34, but I'm still working on it.

In the meantime, in v3.34, I have added the command-line option --no-tray which will completely disable all calls to GtkStatusIcon as well as the SNI tray icon implementation.

Give that a try and please let us know what happens. I am not sure if the tray icon has anything to do with this, but the very helpful backtrace you provided from gdb seems to include calls through the GTK tray functions, so we'll see what happens with the tray completely disabled.

One other thing you could try would be to change your GTK theme. I don't think this will make a difference but it would be a helpful step to narrow things down.

I will try again to recreate this problem before next release. I am assuming I should use Arch with BSPWM, and this is what I will setup next.

Thanks very much for all the info provided so far. I'll try my best to get this fixed ASAP.

by Guest on 2025/05/07 12:32:31 PM

Of course. I get the same trace with --gsi-tray, no issues with --sni-tray, except that I don't see a tray icon, and no issues with --no-tray. I don't know what gsi and sni trays are but I'm using polybar with bspwm.

by KH on 2025/05/08 07:00:33 PM

Thanks for the additional info. I'm still working on a fix after the 3.35 release.

I was not able to get Arch + BSPWM working in the limited time I had (it keeps booting into the window manager and then freezing immediately) but I will get this solved soon. There are definitely a few bugs in the GTK libraries that cause this, but a workaround might be possible.
