Bug 348123 – gnome-extra/quick-lounge-applet makes gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.32.1 segf

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2010-12-08 08:20:05 UTC]

Sadly I cannot give any hard facts. I bump my gnome today. Once I log in the gnome-panel segfaults. After unemerging the gnome-extra/quick-lounge-applet everything is fine again. What information would help?

Then try to get a proper backtrace:
FEATURES="$FEATURES debug splitdebug" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -ggdb" CXXFLAGS="-O2
-pipe -ggdb" emerge -1 glib gtk+ gconf gnome-panel bug-buddy 

Then, logout and login and try to reproduce the crash, bug-buddy should then
appear and guide you.

Also verify how does it work when gnome-panel is compiled with USE="bonobo"

Never used bugbuddy.So I didn't know how to get bt from only the gnome-panel. Will test that.

It is already compiled with bonobo. Does it makes sense to remove it?

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2010-12-08 14:39:09 UTC]

No, if I don't misremember that old applet wasn't ported yet

backtrace.log

I am able to reproduce

[Comment 7 Pacho Ramos 2010-12-08 19:54:07 UTC]

But I will probably need more time to recompile more packages with debugging symbols (like glibc, bonobo stuff), and I won't have time for that for now :-/

I think you should open an upstream bug report with it (bug-buddy should offer you to do it itself on the next crash), then, post the link here to let us track the problem.

Thanks

gnome panel or quick-lounge-applet upstream?

I don't like to crash everything again. :)

I would open it against gnome-panel, since looks like a bonobo related crash :-/ (also, bug-buddy will probably open the bug against gnome-panel automatically... and I am sure gnome-panel upstream is much more active than quick-lounge one)

Maybe we should hardmask quick-lounge :-/

The upstream report says that it is a gnome-panel thing, or am I wrong?

It's not clear, for now looks like gnome-panel is crashing but it's not clear if it's due a bug in gnome-panel or this applet doing something "wrong". The problem is that quick-loungue applet looks to be unmaintained by upstream and I have been unable to find any fix for this in other distributions (also looks it has been already dropped on a lot of them).

[Comment 16 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2011-01-20 10:43:46 UTC]

What is the alternative to it?

Looks like it has no alternative, but I failed to find any fix for this, upstream looks dead and major distributions have already dropped it :-|

Looks like quick-lounge-applet upstream is dead -> I vote for last ritting it

Sadly that seems to be true. Go ahead.
