Fedora/EPEL packaging issues

[MrPointer]

After upgrading to the latest version from the tcg copr repo (full system spec given below) and re-enabling the cursor using gnome-tweaks, the session immediately crashes and logs out.
After that, I'm not able to log in again, unless I disable the cursors from a classic GNOME session.
Restarting the system also didn't help.
However, reverting back to version 3.5 solves the issue.

I also should mention that I have some custom themes installed:

• GTK + Shell - McMojave
• Icon Pack - Mojave-Circle

I also have some gnome extensions enabled, but I'll list them only if you'd ask.

That is... unexpected. How did you install the cursors?

I built and tested them on my Fedora 31 machine, and have not experienced any crashes.

Can you attach a crash log?

[MrPointer]

I tried installing now directly from the pling package, and apparently it worked just fine.
Before that though, I've installed it through the tcg copr repo as mentioned in the issue.

I can try and attach a crash log if you'd like, but how can I do that?

Heh. My bad, hadn't had a coffee yet when I read this 😓

I don't own the tcg copr repo, so can't officially support it. Maybe try filing an issue with @LaurentTreguier here?

IIRC Gnome's bug reporter should catch the crash and show a log in its GUI?
I'll leave this bug open for now though and try to reproduce the crash on my Fedora machine.

[LaurentTreguier]

I probably missed some changes in the build process since version 3. I'll go check and get back to this issue

[LaurentTreguier]

Although it's not crashing GNOME for me (3.34.4 on Fedora 31), it shows an ugly default X11 cursor, so it's definitely broken

[LaurentTreguier]

I can see those 3 error messages during the build:

• Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
• Cannot parse integer value ?60.0? for -w (with either 60.0 or some other values)
• PNG error while reading x1.5/{image name}.png!

Do you have any idea what could cause them ? Fedora is packaging the beta version of Inkscape 1.0.0, which probably has some breaking changes compared to 0.92 (or whichever version is the current stable)

[keeferrourke]

Definitely an error in the build.sh on master. Working on a fix right now!

[keeferrourke]

@LaurentTreguier merged the fix. Should be able to build using either inkscape 0.9x or 1.0.x now.

For your package, you probably want to build the biggest versions:

./build.sh -d xxxhd
./build.sh -d xxxhd -t light

[LaurentTreguier]

Thanks! I just tried to build the latest commit, but my Fedora is acting up and started freezing when starting a container to build the package, so there might be a few days before this is fixed in my COPR repo

[LaurentTreguier]

So, I've managed to build the package without Fedora freezing, and the latest commit seems to fix it, the cursor shows up normally. I've launched a new build in COPR, which should be finished soon enough

[MrPointer]

@LaurentTreguier Great, I'll test it tomorrow then and update if it works

Update: @LaurentTreguier Have you renamed the package? dnf only seems to find the 3-5 version... I tried both explicitly and implicitly

[LaurentTreguier]

I haven't renamed the package.
I've never put out a 3-5 version as far as I remember, is that package really coming from my COPR ?

[MrPointer]

Huh, interesting... it seems that updates also contains this package, and it's probably what I've installed from the beginning 😆

However, I see now that there's a 4-2 version as well - What's the difference and should I install it?

[LaurentTreguier]

Interesting indeed. Both la-capitaine-icon-theme and la-capitaine-cursor-theme are officially available in Fedora now. For the cursors, 3-5 is actually the first version to have been published.
The latest version I have put out is 4-2.20200223, this should be a functional one
