GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 95229
Gnome-panel crashes
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Product: GNOME 2 Version: 2.0 Component: gnome-panel OS: Red Hat Linux 8.0 Severity: Criticla Priority:Big Summary: When I change ( manually ) the gnome - panel position and restart session ( or reset machine ) the gnome-panel generates a back - trace error and tries to load it over and over after the crash. Steps to Reproduce: 1 - start Xsession 2 - run gnome ( login as root or other user ) 3 - Click on the panel and move it to any other position 4 - Logout ( saving session or not doesn't matter: the crash occurs anyway ) 5 - Logon ( login as root or other user ) 6 - Crashes.Message: Backtrace error in process xxxxx ( where xxxx is the number of process asigned to gnome-panel, tested after doing ps -A into the shell.) Actual Results: Simply I can't avoid gnome-panel to load and load and crash and crash again Expected Results:Simply to run :) Additional Information: It doesn't seem to be a REDHAT's error cause this occured with ALL of their BETAS. My machine: Compaq Presario 1200E ( spanish release ) Intel Celeron 800 coppermine 128 mb sdram IDE dma 66 10GB GC: Trident ciberblade i10 ( shared memory -- by default I assign it 2 megs ) Monitor: TFT Also it would be useful for me to know where does GNOME put its app crash logs, cause this machine has no internet connection and I cant send it directly ,, I must take it to a floppy and send the log ( if it exists ) ( Excuse my English )
I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate of bug #94625. Does this happen when you make the panel a vertical panel ?
This is happening for me too...how do I move the damn thing back? It just keeps crashing!
Okay...some really quick mouse work moved the panel back to the botom...where I _hate_ it. This will make me change back to 7.3. I am not kidding. Because of my firewall bug-buddy can't send email, so I did not install it. How should I proceed to generate enough data to fix this? (sure would be nice if bug-buddy could be configured to use a mailhost, or a mail client, instead of sendmail)
You can install bug-buddy and copy the stack trace from bug-buddy. Havoc is working on a package with the fix for this bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 94625 ***
vincent: In response to your question, yes, but also when I put it at the top of the desktop. Many thanks.
