This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: I have a set of approx. 250 desktop background images each approx. 1.5MB of photo collages (i am a photographer and like my work as the desktop background). A crontab job selects a random image every 15 minutes and updates the desktop using the following command: DISPLAY=:0 GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf /usr/bin/gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://$OutFile" The cronjob works and desktop is updated. However in syslog i get a constant stream of these messages: Sep 11 12:14:00 fw1-lan010 gnome-session[2273]: (eog:22873): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_loader_close: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF_LOADER (loader)' failed Sep 11 12:14:00 fw1-lan010 gnome-session[2273]: (eog:22873): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_pixbuf: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF_LOADER (loader)' failed Sep 11 12:14:00 fw1-lan010 gnome-session[2273]: (eog:22873): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Sep 11 12:14:08 fw1-lan010 gnome-session[2273]: (eog:22873): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_loader_close: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF_LOADER (loader)' failed Sep 11 12:14:08 fw1-lan010 gnome-session[2273]: (eog:22873): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_pixbuf: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF_LOADER (loader)' failed Sep 11 12:14:08 fw1-lan010 gnome-session[2273]: (eog:22873): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Sep 11 12:14:16 fw1-lan010 gnome-session[2273]: (eog:22873): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_loader_close: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF_LOADER (loader)' failed Sep 11 12:14:16 fw1-lan010 gnome-session[2273]: (eog:22873): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_pixbuf: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF_LOADER (loader)' failed Sep 11 12:14:16 fw1-lan010 gnome-session[2273]: (eog:22873): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ... Over time (couple of days to 1 week) gnome-shell grows to approx. 10GB and my 16GB SWAP fills right up.
