I've just experienced it again in an LTSP fat client. Gnome-panel was showing but without any text, looked liked it hanged while loading. strace -p $(pidof gnome-panel) displayed only the following:
# strace -p 1928 Process 1928 attached - interrupt to quit restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...> In .xsession-errors I saw the following but I don't know if they were printed by gnome-panel: Προειδοποίηση διαχειριστή παραθύρων: Log level 8: meta_display_unregister_x_window: assertion `g_hash_table_lookup (display->window_ids, &xwindow) != NULL' failed Προειδοποίηση διαχειριστή παραθύρων: Άκυρο WM_TRANSIENT_FOR παράθυρο 0x3a00001 που καθορίστηκε για 0x3a00003 (Ανώνυ). The first line translates to "window manager warning", and the second one to "window manager warning: cancelled WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x3a00001 that was defined for 0x3a00003 (No nam...)" gnome-panel --replace did _not_ work the first time, it resulted in the same non-functioning panel without menus, but it worked fine the second time I ran it. I should also note that LTSP fat clients are using SSHFS, just in case someone finds out it's related to file locking or something. We weren't experiencing it in 10.04 with NFS /home (300 schools, worked fine for 2 years), but that was Gnome 2 though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078679 Title: Gnome fallback - intermittent menus on top panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1078679/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
