Summary

0001622: aMule crashes on startup with Gdk-ERROR: 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'

Description

Binary package hint: amule

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.
Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
amule:
  Installed: 2.2.6+debian0-7
  Candidate: 2.2.6+debian0-7

3) What you expected to happen
The program starts and runs normally.

4) What happened instead
jimmy@jimmy:~$ amule
Initialising aMule 2.2.6 using wxGTK2 v2.8.10
Checking if there is an instance already running...
No other instances are running.
ListenSocket: Ok.
HTTP download thread started

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'amule' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 2825 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
  (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.)
aborting...
Trace/breakpoint trap
jimmy@jimmy:~$

Additional Information

In the first comment of the report, a possible solution is suggested:

"export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 works."

Notes
(0003485) sturedman (developer) 2010-09-04 02:24	This is not a bug of aMule. aMule runs fine in Maverick alpha. But you can't just install an old binary package in a new distro and expect it to run. It's the job of the Debian/Ubuntu packager to provide a new binary package compiled/linked with Maverick. (Maverick comes with wxGTK 2.8.11, this alone tells me you tried an old package.)
