Someone has reported a crash in ex_bitmap under Linux (ubuntu 18.04) and I can't reproduce it:
https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/issues/1057
Has anyone else seen this or got some ideas? (X experts in particular!)

Peter, I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 in VB on Win10, and ex_bitmap works fine for me, as well as ex_menu, and ex_drawpixels as recommended to try in the issue.

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running

Thanks Edgar!
I'm stuck for ideas. haxpor (who reported the bug) is using the en_HK.UTF-8 locale which is different to me, but apart from that I don't know.

Are locales 'installable'? You could try having him install en-US, as I'm pretty sure that's what I'm using. I have no idea what's with it. I don't do much X programming anymore, I got sick of asynchronous events and errors driving me crazy.....xD

I am using Lubuntu 18.04
ex_bitmap runs for me but will print this messages to the console:

At the start of the example:

(ex_bitmap:3774): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 18:38:40.183: g_dbus_proxy_new: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

When the example ends:

ex_bitmap: ../../src/hb-object-private.hh:154: Type* hb_object_reference(Type*) [with Type = hb_unicode_funcs_t]: Assertion `hb_object_is_valid (obj)' failed.

Also attached allegro.log if it helps.

ex_menu - works fine, no messages are printed to the console.
ex_drawpixels - prints the same messages as ex_bitmap.

Izual: I guess those reports are not Allegro's fault and could be ignored.

Has anyone heard from SiegeLord recently, he has not posted here for ages and no activity in Github either.

Hopefully he is just busy, we are going to struggle without his brainpower!
