GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 579815
panels not loading completely and hanging right after login
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:25:58 UTC
Since a recent update to GNOME 2.26.1, it happened several times already that the gnome panels do not load completely and hang immediately after I log in. The panel does not completely slide out of the image borders, only a few of the applets on the panel are shown, and the panel is completely hanging: clicking on the Applications menu does not have any result. The only solution is to switch to a vt and restart the display manager. On a second login, everything works fine. gdb backtrace of gnome-panel process: 0x00007fee0c120b4f in __poll (fds=0xec3100, nfds=14, timeout=-1) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c:83 83 return INLINE_SYSCALL (poll, 3, CHECK_N (fds, nfds), nfds, timeout);
