GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 99030
Gnome panel crashed after removing Redhat's update icon
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I was surprised to get this, as I've removed Red hat's update icon before without problems. Also, there was a one or two second delay between removing the redhat update icon and when I got the message saying the panel crashed that sent me here (in other words, I'm not sure if they're actually related, but if they're not, then this is a spontaneous crash). After clicking okay on the popup message that came up, the panel disappeared and then reappeared and is now running without problems. I don't have a lot of time at the moment to check if this is a duplicate or anything. Anyway, Redhat 8.0 uses gnome-panel-2.0.6. Let me know if you need any other information.
Elijah: well, a stack trace would be welcomed.
Apparently no core file was generated (I tried a 'find / -name "*core*"' as root and looked through all those files but none of them was a core dump). Without that, I have no clue how to get a stack trace. I'll try to reproduce when I'm finished with a couple things I'm running, but since it seemed somewhat spontaneous, I'm not so sure I'll be able to reproduce the bug. Feel free to close this if this isn't enough information--I'm not sure I can provide more and the panel seems to be working now...
Well, I reproduced it. First try too. This time, I had bug-buddy installed. I'll check the simple-dup-finder in a minute to see if this might be a duplicate. Here's the stack trace that bug-buddy obtained: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gnome-panel' (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 8192 (LWP 1001)] 0x420ae169 in wait4 () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6

Sorry for the spam. The way I know to check for duplicates (the simple-dup-finder) requires that all the information already be filed in the bug. Anyway, the simple-dup-finder lists the bugs #94924 and #95345, both of which have been marked as duplicates of #94422. So I'm marking this as a duplicate of that one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 94422 ***
