I've obtained gnome-applets_2.30.0.orig.tar.gz and gnome-applets_2.30.0-0ubuntu2.diff which I think are 10.04's. The original code is as above when I opened the bug although the line numbers are slightly different. The diff doesn't change them in any way. 12_modem_applet_waitpid_fix.patch still applies OK with an offset of -15 lines.
So the problem remains in the code. My concern over the patch remains, detailed in #3 above. waitpid() is clearly being wrongly used. That can be fixed without further test results. Then the underlying problem may come to light once the code processes waitpid's response properly. -- modem_applet: waitpid()'s return value causes wedging. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/18572 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
