Public bug reported:
Architecture: i386
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04
Versions:
gnome-system-monitor: 2.22.0-1ubuntu3
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic: 2.6.24.12-16.34
When opening gnome-system-monitor or displaying the "Network" graph in
the respective applet, the application crashes.
When the application itself is used, a window is drawn filled with white
colour, it can be force-quit (via GNOME since the application doesn't answer to
clicking on "X"), but the gnome-system-monitor process will stay and cannot be
removed even with kill -9.
When the applet is used (only when the "Network" graph is drawn), it
immediately crashes with the appropriate error messages (reload etc.), but the
malicious effects are the same as with the application (presumably parts stay
in memory as well).
After the crash has been provoked, most application fail to work correctly.
sudo (even if invoked from a "real" terminal, not a terminal emulator under X
(gnome-terminal doesn't work, anyway, so I don't know if it works there)),
hangs after the password has been typed in, most other command line
applications seem to work correctly. Most graphical applications do not work
(firefox, for example, creates the "firefox" process, so apparently the script
hangs, I haven't checked if other applications create a process). Panel applets
do not seem to work as well, including the shutdown applet. If a restart of X
is provoked (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace), X shuts down and nothing happens afterwards.
A reboot via Ctrl+Altl+Del doesn't work, either (although is seems that large
parts of the reboot process are completed).
If my wireless device (Fritz! WLAN USB Stick, using proprietary fwlanusb
driver included in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic) is not
present, the monitor starts normally. The bug occurs independently of
network connectivity status. If the stick is plugged in while the system
monitor is already running, the crash occurs. The bug is apparently
related to the device/driver or to WLAN connections in general (?) since
the network statistics of my LAN port are displayed without problems.
In Ubuntu 7.10, the bug did not occur, it was introduced with the
upgrade to 8.04 (the applet is part of my panel).
The bug can be provoked in a Live-CD environment.
