<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Running a bleeding-edge distro turned out to be a bit too edgy, or too bloody?, so I've moved to Pop!_OS (a variant of Ubuntu that is very nice, except for the name). While I'll miss having the latest version of Gnome and other packages, I'm happy to report that my previous problem seems to be resolved.<br><br>I realized this is likely caused by our old friend, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because the LOGON distribution has its own version of libxcb. So something changed WRT the symbol 'xcb_send_request_with_fds' in the latest version of libxcb or its dependencies and the LOGON version will become incompatible.<br></div><br></div>And it's not just us who are (or will be) affected.

Does anyone know of any calls that would use libxcb (or xcb-proto, libxfont, or other dependencies of libxcb) that might cause the error I see? It was updated recently, which may have broke something (<a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2018-March/011091.html" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.<wbr>org/archives/xcb/2018-March/<wbr>011091.html</a>). <br><br>I also tried `svn up` on LOGON to see if there were any corresponding updates, but I'm still unable to get a full checkout for a different reason (<a href="http://lists.delph-in.net/archives/developers/2018/002688.html" target="_blank">http://lists.delph-in.net/<wbr>archives/developers/2018/<wbr>002688.html</a>).<br><br></div>I'm able to run GUI applications, like emacs, if the LOGON lines in .bashrc are commented out or if I start it outside of a terminal, so I'm not completely stuck, but I would appreciate any help in resolving the issue above.<br><br></div>Thanks<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><div><div><div><div><div><br><div><div><div>-- <br><div class="m_3517759191104892382gmail-m_2721722859242197348gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Michael Wayne Goodman</div></div>
