It had something to do with NVIDIA drivers, and the solution was to recompile audacious with qt I think? Well anyways here is a clue - this is from Slackware64-14.2 , trying to use the OpenGL spectrum analyzer in Audacious:

Code:

slackuser@slackmachine:~$ audacious 
The program 'audacious' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 10285 error_code 8 request_code 153 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.)
WARNING main.cc:320 [main_cleanup]: exit() called unexpectedly; skipping normal cleanup.

Found my original post: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...er-4175592761/

From that thread, workaround:

I rebuilt with --enable-qt and ran it as 'audacious --qt' and in that mode, the OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer checkbox worked as expected - no crash and nice looking opengl visualization.

I then went back to see if the existing version (3.7.2) would work the same way but the audacious-plugins-3.7.2 would not compile with --enable-qt.

So, short of fixing the actual bug, the workaround is to build version 3.8 with the --enable-qt option and always use the --qt option at runtime.

I was considering a test run with updating a 14.2 system to Current. Reviewing CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT, NEW USERS/GROUPS SINCE 14.2, I read "postdrop user and group, UID and GID 92." I noticed no such user in /etc/passwd in my Current VM. The postfix package doinst.sh only adds a postdrop group and no postdrop user.

Looks like either the doinst.sh script or CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT should be corrected.

Also, the UPGRADE.TXT file, step 4, has not yet been updated to reflect which old packages to remove:

It seems kde-runtime package would need to be updated to solve this issue with konqueror.

Or the patch provided can be add to patch/kde-runtime/kde-runtime-4.14.3.nm.diff.gz.
