The pictures where taken with a canon digital ixus 400. I'm testing it for few days and had no problems viewing the files, untill today. The system freezes exactly when I trie to open the file in Nautilus (just a double-click). Thumbnails on the other hand work fine. I have a nvidia card. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. login with gdm into gnome 2. open home folder and browse to images (thumbnails load) 3. when thumbnails are loaded, double click on the image Actual Results: my computer totally freezes. The only thing that keeps working is the reset and the power button. ctrl-alt-del does NOT work. No programs respond. Expected Results: show the image Portage 2.0.48-r5 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm crypt cups encode foomaticdb jpeg kde libg++ mad mikmod mmx motif ncurses pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang arts bonobo svga java sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl perl esd imlib oggvorbis qt opengl scanner X gtk gnome alsa -gif atlas avi cdr doc fbcon gphoto2 gtk2 gtkhtml imap ipv6 ldap mozilla mpeg mpi mysql nls prelude python readline samba tetex tiff usb" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
Ok, things have changed recently. The problem is not related to image-viewing. A few minutes ago I was performing a few test-calculations with ghemical. In the meantime I opened the help-file (nautilus starts) Then I clicked view with mozilla. A that moment the machine freezed. I wasn't able to move the mouse (just like during the former freezes). In the background xmms was playing some music. When the macine freezed, the audio-buffer kept repeating. That was a real undergroundsound. :) So far the problem doesn't seem to be image-related, but is still nautilus-related. another note: I've recently added usb and pci hotplugging. (for my camera) Could this have caused the problem? As the problem has changed a bit now, I'm will search for other similar bugs that can be related.
I did not realy find anything similar in the bugzilla database, but on the forums I found this: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=70262 The same problem is mentioned, but it seems to be related to the combination of gnome2 and having updated your glibc after gnome2 is emerged. I did this too.
Hi, I've tried some new ideas. First I turned of some hardware acceleration in XF86Config. Under the device section I put: Option "RenderAccel" "False" Option "Accel" "false" This did not help. I also made sure to remerge the nvidia kernel driver after kernel compilation. This did not help either. Still the same kind of crashes.
Another trial: I'v removed the nvidia kernel driver and switched in XF86Config from: ... Section "Device" Identifier "Nvidia riva TNT" Driver "nvidia" # VideoRam 16384 # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate # Option "RenderAccel" "False" # Option "Accel" "false" EndSection ... To: ... Section "Device" Identifier "Nvidia riva TNT" Driver "nv" # VideoRam 16384 # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate # Option "RenderAccel" "False" # Option "Accel" "false" EndSection ... This didn't help.
When using the "nv" driver, the system does also spontanuously reboot sometimes.
This looks like a possible kernel bug. Try disabling the 'usual kernel suspects' in your kernel: APIC, APM, ACPI, any low-latency patches if you are using a homebrew-patched kernel, and the 'Preemptive Kernel' option. You should be OK going back to the NVIDIA driver, it looks like 'nv' is even worse :-/
OK, thanks. I'll try that. I got a new lockup at boottime when loading the uhci module. So it must be a kernel or a hardware problem.
My excuses, it appaered to be a hardware problem. The cpu has gone completely broke. (AMD) It must have been overheated and the effects have only become visible by now. The CPU was only a year old. That's why I didn't suspect it to be broke. My apologies. Could someone close this bug?
Ahh, too bad about the hardware :(
