Hi,

Emacs (version 27.2 release 6.2) in tumbleweed kept crashing for some time since LInux kernel 5.14.10 or around.
It worked fine under LInux kernel 5.14.6

Besides /usr/bin/emacs itself, I have a few pointers that spit some addresses

/lib64/libc.so.6
/lib64/libX11.so.6
/lib64/libgdk-3.so.0
/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0
/lib64/libgtk-3.so.0

Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks.

Not an emacs user myself so unable to confirm, but…

If you’re using nvidia drivers this bug report may be relevant:

Thank you, Paul,

That bug report was indeed relevant. I commented out the following single line in /usr/bin/emacs.

XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

This solved the segmentation fault error when I typed control-k during an emacs session.
Apparently, the bug is somewhere inside the /lib/libgtk . or /lib/libX11 or somewhere rather than inside emacs.
