I'm seeing the same thing; was seeing it with 0.2.7 on f8 as well, but not 0.2.7 on f7! Seems to happen 100% of the time with 'library'; maybe 50% of the time with the other buttons ('linux', 'program', and 'people'.) BTW, for triage purposes, this bug should be a different priority than 'low', since it basically makes the app unusable. please take a look at bug 408341 since this seems to be caused by a corrupted python garbage collector Yeah, looks like a dup of 404911 (or vice-versa.) But that at least seems to have some python people's attention, so this should be marked a dup. Lyle? (I can't do it, don't have enough perms.) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 404911 *** Hi all, this bug was closed as duplicate of 404911, but python people claim it's not their fault, so they won't fix it. Is anyone able to run Gimmie in Fedora 8? Since I upgraded to F8 Gimmie is reduced to a task switcher, because it crashes for almost any other task. It's still a better task switcher than the one in the Gnome panel, but I begin to miss the rest of Gimmie. Gratefully, Lyle I suppose this is the dup. of bug 171809. The problem persists in Fedora 9 Beta. I believe this problem comes from python plugins which are being loaded by gimmie (and also mayanna), such as python-gdata, python-libgmail, gnome-python2-gnomedesktop, gnome-python2-libwnck or evolution-python (those are dependencies for gimmie & mayanna). But I'm not sure which package is the real culprits - high possibility is maybe gnome-python2-gnomedesktop) Maybe the packaging process of those packages causes this problem, because based on my observation in compiling gimmie & mayanna, other distro (ubuntu, opensuse etc.) don't have this problem. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
