[Bug 257939] Re: awn dock freezes sometimes

[Bernhard Koenig]

Setting this to invalid because the real reason for this behaviour is
bug #258675.

OK, so I just realized that I have a "frozen bar" on my screen because
there are some awn processes still lingering. The frozen bar disappears
if I kill these processes. That's why I filed another bug #258675.

OK, guys. I just figured it out: my system monitor says that I'm running compiz.
Sorry for the wrong information above, I guess I missed that compiz is now 
standard in hardy.

Given that you can actually see the bar, I'm inclined to believe that
you're running compiz, not metacity.

Actually the "frozen bar" is not as frozen as one might think: it
extends with the "real bar", but it never retracts. Some more
screenshots. Don't know if they help.

Sorry, I'm a newbie. I never explicitly switched on beryl or compiz, so
I thought I'm running metacity. How do I check what is my window
manager?

And here the frozen-bar.png. It seems impossible to attach two files to

[Bug 257939] Re: awn dock freezes sometimes

[Bernhard Koenig]

OK, so output to

gconftool-2 -g '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager'

is "false".

I can also attach a screenshot of my awn dock (awn-dock.png) and the
frozen bar (frozen-bar.png). Let me say again that this behaviour does
not occur all the time, awn generally works pretty well. But once the
frozen bar/dock is on my desktop, I cannot remove it unless with a
restart.

Additionally, could you check to see which applets are activated? You
can do this by going to System -> Preferences -> Awn Manager, clicking
on the "Applets" icon, and listing what's in the activated applets pane.
If there are no applets in the activated applets pane, then activate the
taskmanager/launcher applet.

Just happened to me again, so I'm not dreaming. :)

This time, I just have a frozen bar on my desktop (without icons).

Hi Bernhard, thanks for using Ubuntu and thanks for your bug report! You
mentioned you are using metacity; have you explicitly enabled
compositing in it? If not, I don't think AWN will run properly and
strange behavior is expected. Please run:

gconftool-2 -g '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager'

from a terminal and provide the output. Thanks!

My window manager is metacity and as for the video driver, I have no
clue: my computer is an FSC Amilo Si2636 with an Intel GMA X3100.

[Bug 257939] Re: awn dock freezes sometimes

[Bernhard Koenig]

I haven't really found any pattern for this behaviour atm. But I wanted
to know if other people experienced the same.

As the version, I just installed awn yesterday and I had 0.2.? first
(from the reacocard repos), then updated to 0.3.1 (from awn-testing).
Don't remember, but I think this problem occurred in both versions. As I
said, I'm just using awn for less than a day and had this problem twice.

I'm pretty sure that reacocard's repository doesn't have 0.2.x builds.
I'm guessing you had the packages from the official ubuntu repositories.

I've been using 0.3.1 for several months and haven't seen the freezing
behavior that you're describing.

FYI, if you're running a development version of Awn (e.g., 0.3.1) then
it's probably best to file bugs at the Awn bug tracker
, as the ubuntu Awn tracker is for the
(stable) packages that are in the official Ubuntu repositories.

What are you doing when it freezes?

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: avant-window-navigator
  
- The awn dock can freeze in my installation. That means that I have an awn 
dock on my screen which can not be removed anymore (completely frozen) and any 
new dock that comes up sort of hovers of the old frozen one.
+ The awn dock can freeze in my installation. That means that I have an awn

  This does not happen very often but it did. It's not the same as bug 130235. 
Wonder if anybody can confirm.
  
  My awn is 0.3.1.
