Dear all,
I’m facing an issue with a Vmware workstation that it close unexpectedly. I found a bug report for libxkbcommon on git
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/888
It looks like it is fixed in version 1.13 which was released. Do you know when version 1.13 will be available for OpenSuse?
Is it safe to compile from source? Will that create any troubles for me system? I need VMware working for my daily tasks.
Thank you in advance.
Huh? this is a libX11 bug, not a libxkbcommon one. No fix to be expected here.
And the libx11 merge request mentioned there is still open.
This issue mentions that downgrading libxkbcommon works around this problem. The right now oldest available Tumbleweed snapshot still has the version 1.11.0.
Thank you @arvidjaar
I’ve miss understood the bug report. I’ve downgraded libxkbcommon to version 1.11.0 but this didn’t solve my problem.
I will have to wait for libx11 to be released with implemented solution.
You can open bug report referring to the libx11 merge request. Even better would be if you rebuilt libX11 with the proposed patch and verified that it actually fixes your problem.
Thank you arvidjaar, I’ve switches to virtual box for now. Currently I’m overloaded and do not have spare time to play with libX11, although I would love to. Maybe next month will be more relaxed at work.
