Bug Description

Binary package hint: xtrs

After installing Hardy Heron (clean install), I used "apt-get" to install the xtrs package (like I normally do), then checked the /usr/share/doc/xtrs/README.Debian file to verify the location and names to place the ROM image files (as I always do). I then created the /usr/local/lib/xtrs directory as stipulated in the readme file, and copied the ROM images to this directory, changing their names as directed in the readme file.

When attempting to run xtrs, a blank window will open, and sit there. It will not respond to the normal "F-8" function key to terminate the program, and when you do kill the window, the following error message is returned:

uname@host:~/Xtrs/trsdos62$ XIO: fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server ":0.0"
      after 2712 requests (2534 known processed) with 13 events remaining.

Requested info:
Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008.
xtrs 4.9c-1

The fix, as features on the first line of the xtrs homepage:

Remove -DHAVE_SIGIO from the Makefile. Works here.

Please fix this, as package is completely unusable without that.

Same Problem here! Didn't use the xtrs quite a while, but when I wanted to run it today it looped. Would really be nice if this could be fixed!

This bug was fixed in the package xtrs - 4.9c-3ubuntu1

---------------
xtrs (4.9c-3ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debug.c, dis.c: fix instances of "format not a string literal and no format
    arguments" to fix build failure.
  * Remove -DHAVE_SIGIO from Makefile to stop hangs on startup (LP: #223098)
  * Override unchecked usages of ftruncate, fwrite, and fread in trs_disk.c,
    as there is no error checking on any other function around there.
  * in mkdisk.c handle errors from fwrite.
