After updgrade gtk2 rpm, some application not working

  • 1.  After updgrade gtk2 rpm, some application not working

    Posted Mon November 21, 2022 12:32 PM
    Hi, 
    We are upgraded gtk2 rpm and  other rpms as well. After upgraded all rpm with dnf, looks like some application like IBM Installation Manager, eclipse, Websphere installation gui was stopped after started installation process. Is there any lib we are missing or any other rpm needs to install to complete the installation work done? We have below rpm installed.

    We have set our libpath like below as some of the rpm not finding their libpath and stop running.


    export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib:/opt/freeware/lib64:/opt/freeware/bin:/opt/freeware/sbin:/usr/bin:$LIBPATH

    The error we are getting like below..


    :/CTGIM/software # ./install
    Install: Cannot open display:

    Below is the error we hit, when tried to install other application..

    :/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse # ./IBMIM

    IBM Installation Manager: Fatal IO error 73 (Connection reset by peer) on X server 10.240.217.117:0.0.

    The application '<unknown>' lost its connection to the display 10.240.217.117:0.0;

    most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed

    the application.


    All those above application and IBM installation manager, eclipse and websphere is working fine with our previous rpm is in place, I meant to say if we dont upgrade those rpm with dnf install and dnf update.

    Below are the working rpm list: (OLD)

    We opened IBM support cases, and they said, it is some type of lib issue related to upgrade gtk2 and other rpms.

    Please help us to fixed the issue.

    There is not much info here to figure out what is failing. 
    One thing you can do here is to run "/opt/freeware/bin/gtk-demo" after exporting the DISPLAY variable. If there are some library issues, it will be shown in the stdout.

    Hi, 
    We did as you suggested, 
    Its loading gtk-demo successfully with "/opt/freeware/bin/gtk-demo"

    But we get fatal error later one..

    :/opt/IBM/TDI/V7.2_32 # ./ibmditk
    Security Directory Integrator: Fatal IO error 73 (Connection reset by peer) on X server 10.240.xxx.xx:0.0.

    Please let us know how to resolved it.

    Thanks,

    Since gtk-demo is loading successfully, I think there are no library loading issues. 
    You need to debug the applications to figure out what is failing.

    Your LIBPATH shouldn't be pointing at bin directories - only lib, also always start it with /usr/lib

    Check the nofiles, you may be loading an unneeded library that opens a ton of descriptors.

    Hi,
    So do we need to change libpath? we have set it like below..
    export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib:/opt/freeware/lib64:/opt/freeware/bin:/opt/freeware/sbin:/usr/bin:$LIBPATH

    But still some app can't start which was started fine with gtk2 lower version..

    :/opt/IBM/TDI/V7.2_32 # ./ibmditk

    !ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2022-11-21 23:40:34.221

            at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4387)

            at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.createDisplay(Display.java:914)


    We have below gtk2 version installed..


    gtk2-2.24.30-3waixX11.ppc  
    gtk2-devel-2.24.30-3waixX11.ppc
    gtk2-devel-docs-2.24.30-3waixX11.ppc

    Please let me know how to fix this.

    As I said:
    - Start your LIBPATH with /usr/lib
    - Don't add 'bin' directories to LIBPATH

    Also: never assume LIBPATH is defined

    export LIBPATH=/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib:/opt/freeware/lib64

    Check your file descriptor limits: uname -a

    Make sure that you can open the DISPLAY.  (try with xterm).

    On ssh, use '-Y' instead of '-X'.

    Beyond this, I have no more ideas.
