GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 78225
panel crashed while opening an application
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: gnome-core Severity: minor Version: 1.4.0.6 Synopsis: panel crashed while opening an application Bugzilla-Product: gnome-core Bugzilla-Component: panel Description: i have not see this bug before, so i don't know how to reproduce it. i opened an xpdf window by typing ``xpdf filename'' in a gnome terminal window. i received a message that the panel had crashed at the same time the window opened. i'm not sure that the panel actually crashed; i just got a message to that effect and this window came up. i'm sorry, but i don't have any more information than that ... note that this is a fast laptop and windows open very quickly. perhaps it is a race condition connected with that? Debugging Information: (no debugging symbols found)...0x405a0e29 in __wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6

Could you provide a few more details, like distribution, distribution version, GNOME packages (vanilla distribution packages, packages from gnome.org, Ximian GNOME, etc.)? The bug this is a duplicate of is a bit of a mystery, and any information would help. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 59500 ***
hi heath, thanks for looking at this. i like your domain name. from a tom robbins novel? i'm going to reopen this on the assumption that this additional information may cause it to be considered a non-duplciate. the box is a IBM T23 laptop with a 1133 MHz mobile P3 and 640 Mbyte RAM. i'm running XFree86 v4.1.0 with some patches from S3 for the SuperSavage video chipset. because of bugs in the driver for my SuperSavage chipset the laptop occasionally crashes. perhaps that's the explanation for the panel crash? sorry i didn't mention that before; i didn't think of it. more info: running Redhat 7.1 gnome upgraded to helix-gnome from ximian website to most recent version as of 4/1/02 (approximately) [charmer@elvis charmer]$ panel --version Gnome panel 1.4.0.6 [charmer@elvis charmer]$ here are the relevant set of packages (i think): [charmer@elvis charmer]$ rpm -q -a | grep gnome libunicode-0.4.gnome-ximian.1 gnome-audio-1.4.0-ximian.1 rhn_register-gnome-2.7.9-7.x.2 libgnomeprint15-0.35-1.ximian.1 gnome-core-devel-1.4.0.6-1.ximian.2 gnome-print-devel-0.35-1.ximian.1 gnome-users-guide-1.2-3 gnome-media-1.2.0-12 pygnome-libglade-0.6.6-7 rep-gtk-gnome-0.15-ximian.4 gnome-user-docs-1.4.1-ximian.2 xmms-gnome-1.2.5-ximian.4 openssh-askpass-gnome-3.1p1-1 up2date-gnome-2.7.61-7.x.1 gnome-print-0.35-1.ximian.1 gnome-objc-devel-1.0.2-11 gnome-vfs-devel-1.0.1-ximian.5 gnome-pim-devel-1.4.0-ximian.5 gnome-applets-1.4.0.1-ximian.5 gnomeicu-0.96.1-ximian.2 gnome-utils-1.4.0-ximian.8 gnome-games-devel-1.4.0.1-ximian.12 gnome-libs-1.4.1.4-1.ximian.3 gnome-libs-devel-1.4.1.4-1.ximian.3 gnome-pilot-0.1.64-ximian.1 gnome-audio-extra-1.0.0-12 switchdesk-gnome-3.9.5-1 pygnome-1.0.53-7 gnome-objc-1.0.2-11 gnome-vfs-1.0.1-ximian.5 gnome-pim-1.4.0-ximian.5 libunicode-devel-0.4.gnome-ximian.1 libgnomeprint11-0.25-ximian.6 gnome-games-1.4.0.1-ximian.12 gnome-core-1.4.0.6-1.ximian.2 [charmer@elvis charmer]$
