  • tint2 keeps crashing

    Hi,

    for some reason, tint2 keeps crashing at random. The only thing that
    seems to consistently crash it is by disconnecting a Bluetooth device.
    Checking coredumpctl, it says there is a SIGSEGV error. Any ideas how to
    fix it or a suggestion for a better taskbar? (no polybar)

    You could had explained what tint2 is, as I doubt it's commonly used.

    I was all excited about there being a new version of Tint, my
    favourite Tetris clone. :)

    How about you keep your flaming to yourself if you can’t
    even invest 30 seconds into researching what tint2 is?
    It is actually widely used together with e.g. openbox.

    tint2 seems to segfault nowadays because of recent changes in glib.
    However, the code is frozen because – as it seems – the maintainer
    does not want to update it anymore:

    https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/-/commit/f3aa2ef0c61838ce16a88733e4d31990c5b5cdf2

    You could try xfce4-panel, which does similar things,
    or hope for the fork to gain some momentum:

    If there is a coredump, I suggest you create a bug report with your distribution.
