Description Greg McGee 2012-06-10 15:53:02 CEST 
Description of problem:
xsane --sync
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0".
The program 'xsane' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 51810 error_code 8 request_code 157 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Start xsane with --sync as instructed after first crash

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run xsane (with -sync for reasonable error message)
2.crashes
3.file bug report

System is updated as of ~10 minutes ago, clean reboot, had same issue before updates and new kernel etc, just updated in case it was already fixed.

This still seems to be valid in Mageia 3.

xsane doesn't crash here, must be either related to driver/hardware issues, or maybe to a missing dependency
Comment 5 Greg McGee 2013-09-18 22:54:16 CEST 
Just had an opportunity to do a fresh reinstall after my /home and / drive  started having (recoverable) thermal errors.

xsane and xsane-gimp still crash reliably as described.

May have something to do with the HP Photosmart C4780 all in one?
(or the outdated hplip in MGA3)

he scanner works fine using the (cmd line) hp utility or simple scan.
Comment 6 Marja Van Waes 2015-03-31 16:04:42 CEST 
Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
