GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 492911
Won't Start If Existing Tasks to Do
Last modified: 2008-01-28 16:16:17 UTC
Please describe the problem: If there are unfinished tasks the application generally will not start until tasks.nzb is removed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Queue up some files to download and let some of them download. 2. In PAN, go "offline" and wait for all apparent activity, like any in-process transfers, to stop. 3. Let the application settle down in case there is unwritten data, or other house-keeping to complete. 4. Quit the application normally. 5. Start the application normally. Actual results: The application will not start. Expected results: Ability to start the application. Does this happen every time? The problem does not occur consistently, but it does occur more often than not. Other information: I running what I believe is current, version .132 on Mandriva 2008 x86_64. I am using pre-compiled binaries from Mandriva. I have tried eliminating other on-disk data files in .pan in case perhaps there was some kind of data mis-match causing the problem, like an index file not synchronizing to a data file, but the application won't start until tasks.nzb is renamed/deleted/moved. I looked through previously discussed topics and it appears this same bug existed way back at .092. I am marking the bug as "critical" as the problem does cause a "loss of data" of sorts in that I have to recreate my list of transfers which can be extensive.
