Re: [Bug 119694] Re: Use of more than one desktop crashes panel on boot
Dear M. Bacher: I have done as much as I can with installing the gdb software, but have run into some problems. Here is the last output from Konsole: (gdb) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gdb 2>&1 | tee gdb-gnome-panel.txt GNU gdb 6.6-debian Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions. There is absolutely no warranty for GDB. Type "show warranty" for details. This GDB was configured as "i486-linux-gnu". (gdb) (gdb) handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint Undefined command: "". Try "help". (gdb) (gdb) set pagination 0 Undefined command: "". Try "help". (gdb) (gdb) attach 5176 (gdb) continue Undefined command: "". Try "help". (gdb) The problems I have are this: 1. I don't know if I have correctly attached gdb to gnome-panel based on the above output. Please advise. 2. The bug occurs only on boot. That is, I have just set the number of desktops to 3, and I can switch without a problem. But as often as not, when I boot and switch to one of the desktops, the gnome-panel program crashes. This suggests to me that I have to install some code to run gdb attached to gnome-panel from boot time, but I don't know how to do this. You will have to give the the code to run. I am a newbie to Linux, so you have to give me the exact code, just as in the instructions for installing gdb. After the crash, the only thing I can do is reboot, so you will have to give me code that will feed the trace to a log file that I will retrieve on the next boot and send to you. If you have any questions, please advise. A R P Problem --- Sebastien Bacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for your bug report.

Re: [Bug 119694] Re: Use of more than one desktop crashes panel on boot
M. Bacher: Je m'excuse. To clarify the bug. Let's suppose that we have installed Ubuntu 7.04 and have booted. We now want to have three desktops instead of one. We right-click on the desktop in the lower left hand corner and then click on preferences. On the menu that comes up, we change 'number of desktops' to three. We then close the menu and do some other things without bothering to change desktops--by default we are on the first desktop and now have two more. We close the computer down and then reboot. We now click on desktop three as the first thing we do. The gnome-panel about 50% of the time crashes: we no longer have the lower panel--no desktops, no nothing. Often we even lose the icons on the desktop area. The desktop area is blank. On the upper panel, when we click on 'system' nothing happens. When we click on the upper right hand corner (upper panel) to power down gracefully and restart, nothing happens. Sometimes we even lose the upper panel completely. We are obliged to hard power down the computer (power on/off button) and then reboot. When we do the hard power off, the screen we immediately see before the power off is a log that says that the computer is running the boot-time scripts. I really don't know enough to know if that is significant. Sometimes, however, the whole thing works properly. The problem I have with doing a backtrace and sending the log is how to attach the gdb module to the gnome-panel in such a way that it is automatically attached once the computer is booted, so that I can then replicate the sequence of events that lead to the crash; and how I can be certain to find the log because as soon as the gnome-panel crashes the computer is completely unusable and must be rebooted.

Re: [Bug 119694] Re: Use of more than one desktop crashes panel on boot
M. Bacher: Je m'excuse. To clarify the bug. Let's suppose that we have installed Ubuntu 7.04 and have booted. We now want to have three desktops instead of one. We right-click on the desktop in the lower left hand corner and then click on preferences. On the menu that comes up, we change 'number of desktops' to three. We then close the menu and do some other things without bothering to change desktops--by default we are on the first desktop and now have two more. We close the computer down and then reboot. We now click on desktop three as the first thing we do. The gnome-panel about 50% of the time crashes: we no longer have the lower panel--no desktops, no nothing. Often we even lose the icons on the desktop area. The desktop area is blank. On the upper panel, when we click on 'system' nothing happens. When we click on the upper right hand corner (upper panel) to power down gracefully and restart, nothing happens. Sometimes we even lose the upper panel completely. We are obliged to hard power down the computer (power on/off button) and then reboot. When we do the hard power off, the screen we immediately see before the power off is a log that says that the computer is running the boot-time scripts. I really don't know enough to know if that is significant. Sometimes, however, the whole thing works properly. The problem I have with doing a backtrace and sending the log is how to attach the gdb module to the gnome-panel in such a way that it is automatically attached once the computer is booted, so that I can then replicate the sequence of events that lead to the crash; and how I can be certain to find the log because as soon as the gnome-panel crashes the computer is completely unusable and must be rebooted.

Re: [Bug 119694] Re: Use of more than one desktop crashes panel on boot
Dear M. Bacher: I have done as much as I can with installing the gdb software, but have run into some problems. Here is the last output from Konsole: (gdb) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gdb 2>&1 | tee gdb-gnome-panel.txt GNU gdb 6.6-debian Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions. There is absolutely no warranty for GDB. Type "show warranty" for details. This GDB was configured as "i486-linux-gnu". (gdb) (gdb) handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint Undefined command: "". Try "help". (gdb) (gdb) set pagination 0 Undefined command: "". Try "help". (gdb) (gdb) attach 5176 (gdb) continue Undefined command: "". Try "help". (gdb) The problems I have are this: 1. I don't know if I have correctly attached gdb to gnome-panel based on the above output. Please advise. 2. The bug occurs only on boot. That is, I have just set the number of desktops to 3, and I can switch without a problem. But as often as not, when I boot and switch to one of the desktops, the gnome-panel program crashes. This suggests to me that I have to install some code to run gdb attached to gnome-panel from boot time, but I don't know how to do this. You will have to give the the code to run. I am a newbie to Linux, so you have to give me the exact code, just as in the instructions for installing gdb.
