Thunderbird "Error reading events from display: Connection reset by peer"
Last modified: 2024-02-16 15:09:44 UTC
Hi, since some time (unfortunately I don't know which snapshot it first occurred with) Thunderbird on Tumbleweed crashes unpredictably with the console message: ``` Gdk-Message: 11:12:36.813: Error reading events from display: Connection reset by peer ``` Sometimes it happens only after Thunderbird is running for some hours after clicking some element in the UI, sometimes by itself shortly after startup. This is on Wayland/Sway with the openSUSEway configuration. Would appreciate any advice. ``` $ grep VERSION_ID /etc/os-release VERSION_ID="20231006" $ zypper se -is thunderbird S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository ---+--------------------+---------+-------------+--------+---------------------- i+ | MozillaThunderbird | package | 115.3.2-1.1 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS) ```
Assigning to package maintainer, hope this is correct, otherwise feel free to re-assign.
It seems the "crash" message differs from time to time: ``` $ thunderbird Gdk-Message: 13:30:11.371: Lost connection to Wayland compositor. $ thunderbird Gdk-Message: 13:30:49.039: Error flushing display: Broken pipe ```
It happens in `--safe-mode` as well: ``` $ thunderbird --safe-mode Gdk-Message: 16:08:45.282: Lost connection to Wayland compositor. ```
