gnome panel crash bug
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: GConf Severity: major Version: 1.4.0.4 Synopsis: gnome panel crash bug Bugzilla-Product: GConf Bugzilla-Component: gconf Description: I have this random behaviour of GNOME crashing immediately upon logining in. It happens about once every 3 logins. This crashing behaviour only happens on my Dell Inspiron 8100 Laptop. It has a Nvidia Geforce32 VGA. It has never happen on my Desktop, which is running a SiS6362 chipset. Once I get past the GNOME initialization process (and the panel shows up), the X-window will be stable. If, on the other hand, the crash occurs, it will repeatedly crash itself, even with re-login through the XDM. What's more, the crash will repeat itself even if I do something like init 1 init 5 The only way to correct the problem is to reboot and hope for the best. Most of all time, a single reboot is what it takes, though sometimes it takes a few tries because the system is rid of its demons.
