Arch Linux

I also have this same problem. I removed the program and ALL dependencies / dotfiles. A reinstall starts as normal by invoking the module manager. When I click to connect to the remote, I get the same error message as above and the program windows closes.

Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_set_cursor: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

Seems to be an upstream issue, see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2961704&group_id=5528&atid=105528

Thanks for looking at this Stefan. I have confirmed the bug on sourceforge and will monitor.

EDIT: Actually there are two bug reports on sourceforge, the other one is here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2958644&group_id=5528&atid=105528
Everyone is reporing two separate but similar issues. Could be they are related. As you can see I have stuck my nose into both threads ;)

Hi, I have the same issue here :

My System : x86_64, 2.6.32
I Installed Xiphos using Pacman : When I run the application from console (the very first time) It recommends me to retrieve information from CrossWire but when it reach 100% the application crash displaying a "Segmentation Fault".

I tried downloading some modules and copying them in the rigth place and the application starts normally without telling me to refresh the information from CrossWire but when I choose the Bible text I get no information, I mean, clicking (for example) in Romanos 2,3 I got no text at all.

So unistalled the application and installed, via yaourt, the svn version got the same issue plus the another one mentioned above, but instead of nautilus it opens 15+/- thunar instances.

Thanks Stefan and all the maintainers, it is really good to find this kind of software for Linux, seriously. God Bless you all! :D

I can confirm that this is still an issue for me on my i686 and x86_64 machines.

[EDIT: Xiphos 3.1.3 has just been released today on SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnomesword which kind of makes what follows redundant. If Module Manager is still broken you can still install modules manually by doing what I say in the last paragraph.]

If you want a working (almost) Xiphos in the meantime you might try the latest svn by running the following commands (please note that I can only get the installation to work by doing all of it as root):

svn co https://gnomesword.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gnomesword/trunk xiphos
cd xiphos
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-maintainer-mode
make
make install

Limitations:

Module Manager still not working and existing sword modules not recognized for me (but I think I'd lost my config files in the mod.d folder, so you might be ok). You can manually download and install modules by following the links here: http://xiphos.org/links/. Just download modules (raw zips) to your ~/.sword folder and then run:

cd ~/.sword
unzip ModuleFileName.zip

I have just downloaded community-testing/xiphos 3.1.3-2. The Module Manger still will not work, but everything else that I have tested appears to work.
NOTE: Using x86_64.

Can you please test the following PKGBUILD and patch for the sword library? See

for explanation.
