gnome-panel crash due to fatal error
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: gnome-panel Severity: normal Version: 2.0.6 Synopsis: gnome-panel crash due to fatal error Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel Bugzilla-Component: Panel BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.0.3) Description: Description of Problem: cannot enter in to my gnome environment after i have RE-booted into my fresh install of redhat 8.0. I installed redhat 8 - did one reboot - got into the default gnome desktop - did some configuration of my gnome desktop which included moving the default panel (provided by redhat) to be a vertical left side panel. I have had this same problem in the redhat betas (null, ...) and i filed a bug report then too! When i reboot for the second time and try to enter into my user account (the same one as the first time) i get a message box saying "Application "gnome-panel (process 994) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Aborted)" If i click close the message box reappears (and i am trapped in a gut-wrenching loop!) and i never get out of it. the other button on offer is "submit a bug report" - and guess which one i clicked!! Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. move the only panel (default at bottom) to the vertical left side of screen 2. reboot 3. cry because you cant get into your brand new installation :( Actual Results: Stuck in an error message box loop forever. clicking cancel brings you back to the same message box. Expected Results: Enter graciously into the user account and start to enjoy the beauty of gnome 2! How often does this happen? every time i have installed a version of redhat from 7.3 beta (null) to the current redhat 8.0.
