Emacs crashes with X forwarding

Postby surdo » Thu Jan 05, 2023 1:47 pm

Hello,

I am logging into an aarch64 Pi4 with the following:
ssh -X user@ipaddress
Emacs, and I believe that it's only emacs, crashes periodically and gives error messages such as the following:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'X protocol error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) on protocol request 19
When compiled with GTK, Emacs cannot recover from X disconnects.
This is a GTK bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/221
For details, see etc/PROBLEMS.
Fatal error 6: Aborted')

If I log in with ssh -Y user@ipaddress there are no crashes, however certain GUI applications (VST3 plugins specifically and which I launch via emacs) do not function with this type of login, I need to use -X.

The GTK bug mentioned in the error message is 20 years old.

When i login with -Y the following warning is printed:

Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

While I can use another editor, I'd really like to use emacs with the -X login.

Does anyone please have any suggestions?

Thanks
surdo
