I am also a subscriber to several similar bugs, so I thought I would give Jeremy's test (Bug #491280) a shot. I followed the KernelMainline Builds directions and installed;
linux-headers-2.6.34-999_2.6.34-999.201004241005_all.deb linux-headers-2.6.34-999-generic_2.6.34-999.201004241005_i386.deb linux-image-2.6.34-999-generic_2.6.34-999.201004241005_i386.deb As expected my Nvidia drivers would not work with this upstream kernel. The system booted just fine for me. All 5 of my Weather Report Apps were functional. Since this is an intermittent problem I tried my proven method of making it fail. I opened a terminal window and pounded out 25 "pkill gnome-panel" commands and 25 "killall gnome-panel" commands. The panels refreshed flawlessly every time. I rebooted my system - again no problem. I repeated the 25&25 terminal commands and again the panels refreshed flawlessly. I have never been able to perform more than 7 of the pkill or killall commands without a panel failure much less one hundred times in a row. I then uninstalled the Mainline Kernels and rebooted. It failed on the first reboot. The second reboot succeeded. After opening a terminal window and running the "pkill gnome-panel" again it failed on the fourth retry. This next kernel may fix this bug and I suspect a few others. -- gnome-panel hangs on login with more than one weather applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482690 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
