GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 158893
Starting up computer rin desktop Gnome results in unexpected interruption of eggcups
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Distribution: Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) Package: eggcups Severity: major Version: GNOME2.8.0 unspecified Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc Synopsis: Starting up computer rin desktop Gnome results in unexpected interruption of eggcups Bugzilla-Product: eggcups Bugzilla-Component: notification Bugzilla-Version: unspecified BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.8.0) Description: Description of the crash: Starting up the computer in Gnome (2.8) results in a message that the application "volume manager" is interrupted unexpectedly, and immediately after that follows the same message for "eggcups". The option to restart gives the same result. As far as I can see I can still use the computer in Gnome, and can halt it or reboot it regularly using a terminal in a virtual desktop. Steps to reproduce the crash: 1. Starting the computer in Gnome desktop 2. 3. Expected Results: A regular startup without error How often does this happen? Every time computer is started in Gnome. It did so too when starting in KDE, but after removing some desktop links to KDE programs (Knode, Kmahjongg and some other links) it now starts up in KDE as expected. Additional Information: At the installation on Monday last week KDE was installed, and only some days later Gnome. Both ran as expected, but two days ago shutting off Gnome with some programs active, among which some KDE programs (Kstars and some other programs) this lasted an unexpected long time (I did not note how long, only in retrospect I remember that it lasted longer than I expected). After that Gnome gave this error every time on firing up, both kernels (667 and 678) and in KDE too. After removing some desktop links of KDE programs KDE now starts up well...... I also note that the Gnome panel is empty, except for the virtual desktops icon. The installation is fully updated. I hope this will help you find the cause of this bug :) Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/eggcups' (no debugging symbols found)...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 151307 ***
Tried the fix proposed in 158178, where the same bug is mentioned (sorry for a duplicate bugreport, I am new in this). Before I tried it I tried whether Gnome was still (after some use of the computer) starting Gnome with an error, and it seemed to start up well. Same after the "fix": ==== /usr/sbin/prelink /usr/lib/libdbus*so* And see if that fixes the problem ==== so I don't know whther the bug is really fixed this way. But: Shutting down the computer with (I use the Dutch language and have to try and retranslate) Actions in the panel I get the same error as I did before which is why I had to shut down or reboot in a terminal: Application Gnome-panel is interrupted unexpectedly. So this is not fixed. For all clarity: this latter bug (the panel one) was not present before the eggcups one. Rather they appeared at the same time. This bug is a look-alike of the bug 158845 where it is aid: ===== I was just browsing the web using firefox when all of the sudden the error message "gnome-panel" has quit un expectedly pops up. My options are to restart application or close. Choosing "close" just makes the error message keep popping up over and over again and restart application just says that the application is already running. ==== only with me it when shutting down from the panel. So far Firefox works beautifully.
