• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Florian Streibelt 2009-04-28 21:33:00 UTC]

When clicking on a menu like 'Edit' or 'View' in the gnome-system-monitor my X-server crashes hard. Even when only a xterm and the gnome-system-monitor are running.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Xorg & sleep 15 ; DISPLAY=:0 gnome-system-monitor
2. click on Edit/View/...
3. see the big black nothing (the text console)

Actual Results:  
Xserver crashes

Expected Results:  
Submenu pop up

This is a known issue upstream, recompile with march=native and your problems will be resolved.

I don't see the relation with gnome-system-monitor, I've seen a bunch of bugs related to nvidia drivers passing in bug-wranglers though...

[Comment 4 Arun Raghavan (RETIRED) 2009-05-03 15:14:43 UTC]

Could you try starting it from the terminal as:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so gnome-system-monitor

and then trying the same thing? If this works, this is a dupe of bug 267190.

it 'works', and yes, bluetooth is broken here too.

I can confirm this bug on my system.
Running
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so gnome-system-monitor
doesn't cure the problem and I'm running nvidia-drivers-180.29. It seems to happen for me when opening both menus and tooltips and has been happening after upgrading from xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6 to xorg-server-1.5.3-r5.

My backtrace after the crash:

I have also noticed this backtrace once or twice whilst repeatedly recreating the crash:

I highly doubt this is a problem with gnome-system-monitor. Can you reproduce this if you switch your system to nv driver ?

[Comment 8 David Hardstone 2009-05-24 09:18:07 UTC]

Sorry I can't reproduce this error as I have changed hardware and haven't got round to installing Gentoo yet and may not for a while. Will re-test if bug is still around when I come back.

[Comment 9 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-05-24 22:02:33 UTC]

Please don't hesitate to reopen this bug if anyone can reproduce it.

Thanks

Here is just the same problem with my G5 running linux ppc64, 64 bit userland.
