Bug#312406: Think this is related
Folks, I just discovered this bug report at bugs.debian.org. Sunday night I did an apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade on my Sid box. Gnome is now utterly and completely broken. It starts up, and the gnome-panel application begins to crash and restart repeatedly, popping up the "App has quit unexpectedly" window every time. Clicking the button to notify the developers brings up bug-buddy, which then begins crashing and restarting as well. Eventually a ctrl-alt-backspace is required to kill X and restart it. I was hoping this was a temporary problem and would be fixed right away, but it's 2 days later, I did another apt-get update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade, got a new gnome-core, and it's still broken. It is not related to the previous configuration files. I created an entirely new test user account with an empty home directory, logged in, and got the same problem with that account. Sent from my gmail account because I can't get into Evolution now... regards, Jim Wiggs

Try stopping the HAL daemon, and if that helps, you either: - need to upgrade to Linux 2.6, or - need to upgrade to the libc6 in experimental, which will be uploaded soon to unstable (we hope) -- Jordi Mallach Pérez -- Debian developer http://www.debian.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sindominio.net/ GnuPG public key information available at http://oskuro.net/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hmmm. HAL is not running on my system at all. I'm running the original 2.4.18 that installed with my system, or a vanilla 2.4.26 that I built from source. So, likely upgrading to 2.6 isn't going to solve the problem? Is there any further information I can provide on the box to help -- or is this in fact a different bug? Should I submit a separate report? thanks, Jim On 6/15/05, Jordi Mallach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jim, > > On Tue, Jun 14, 2005 at 08:39:20PM -0400, Jim Wiggs wrote: > > I just discovered this bug report at bugs.debian.org.

The problem will be fixed as soon as the experimental libc6 goes into unstable. I guess for you the best way to solve the problem now is to upgrade to a 2.6 kernel.
