Bug 292596 – gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.26.3 : Random crashes when closing in-tray application

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Fabiano Francesconi 2009-11-09 22:18:56 UTC]

This bug happens randomly when I close an application that has an icon tray displayed into the notification area.

I tried either with Quassel and Rhythmbox and this happens randomly giving the following error.

How to reproduce:
# Open an application that puts its icon in the notification area
# Close the application
# Kaboom!

If you could provide me a way to investigate more about this bug, I'll try to debug it.

I get random crashes when downloading files with epiphany, probably when it wants to show systray icon to notify me it's downloading files, but it's hard to reproduce :-(, I am re-emerging gnome-panel with proper option to get a backtrace

Maybe this is related with 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599928

(even being opened for 2.28 :-/)

@Pacho: it would be helpful if you can have a backtrace (to compare them on upstream)

I am trying to make bug-buddy catch it, but seems that I don't have enough RDEPENDs merged with proper options to get useful backtrace (and, then, bug-buddy is not launched) :-(

[Comment 7 Romain Perier (RETIRED) 2009-11-17 19:03:43 UTC]

@Pacho: Emerge at least gnome-panel using -ggdb CFLAG see [1],
and then try to have a backtrace with bug-buddy.

@Fabiano: Any bt ?

Yes, I already did it, but bug-buddy didn't appear with last crash (or, "panel disappearing"), then, I reemerged gnome-base/gnome-desktop with that and I am waiting for the next crash

Seems that it still has some debugging simbols missing, but it remembers me to also reemerge orbit with proper CFLAGS

seems it's the same https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599928

[Comment 12 Christian Bönnhoff 2009-12-03 01:13:22 UTC]

for me it's the same... but i can not reproduce it reliable... but to me it seems to be related to notifications of gnome-power-manager!

[Comment 13 Pacho Ramos 2010-02-09 12:42:16 UTC]

I am not seeing this problem since some time :-/

[Comment 14 Sergey Ilinykh 2010-03-29 04:10:22 UTC]

not reproducible for me anymore too.
now Opera closes w/o causing panel to crash.

[Comment 15 Fabiano Francesconi 2010-03-29 08:04:44 UTC]

I'm using gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.28.0 now so I can't say if 2.26.3 works or not.

2.28.0 has absolutely no such issue 

[Comment 16 Pacho Ramos 2010-03-29 08:10:20 UTC]

I am still using 2.26 and seems to work fine for me since months. Feel free to reopen if it reappears. 

Thanks for reporting

Ah, Pacho, thanks to you for the contribution you're giving to the whole gnome community in Gentoo. :)
