This bug affects me as well. I am using an up-to-date Ubuntu Karmic amd64. w/ gnome-panel 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu6 w/ kernel 2.6.31-21-generic
We have around 30-some-odd users, but only one user is affected by this bug. The user is not using compiz. All user home areas are mounted via AutoFS, but the user's home area physically resides on the machine that she uses the most often. (I have not tested the bug on machines that require an NFS mount yet.) All user authorization is managed via LDAP. After moving the user's home directory to another machine the bug followed. Machine #1's video: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9400] (rev b1) Machine #2's video: ATI Technologies Inc M76XT [Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT] Each time this bug happens, the following error can be seen in the log files: syslog:Apr 30 10:23:48 uca kernel: [ 65.540326] gnome-panel[2662]: segfault at 7f80dd5a4f08 ip 00007f80de698f00 sp 00007fff6a0b8ef0 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7f80de623000+166000] To reproduce: Power the machine off Power the machine on Log in -- 99% of the time the user's panel will be blank. Gnome-panel does not respond to clicks and the user cannot log out or start a terminal. Using ctrl-alt-delete, the user can log out (users are not allowed to reboot or shut down, but clicking on reboot or shut down will log them out). A subsequent login will work fine. Logging in remotely and typing the following command also seems to fix the problem, without the need to log out and back in: pkill -u <user> -HUP gnome-panel -- panel is blank at 1st login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248236 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
