Description Ihatewindows 2013-10-03 04:15:57 UTC
Description of problem:
Whenever I go to Activities then All Applications, GNOME will crash and restart. Repeating the process will make it say "Oops, something has gone wrong..."


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.10

How reproducible:
Go to Activities Then All Applications

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Activities
2.click on all applications

Actual results:
GNOME will crash and restart. Doing this a second time will give it an "unrecoverable error" and says I should "contact your administrator" (me)

Expected results:
GNOME should simply show me my applications.

Additional info: 
I do have a lot installed, mainly just a lot of useless junk that came with an option in the netinstall. MATE and GNOME classic work just fine, as does E16/17. Maybe GNOME can't handle all of it?

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1021214
Basically the same issue.
Gnome should not crash, it should at least present a nice error and recover.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 20:05:43 UTC
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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.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 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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.
