Description Flags
Kernel oops (extract) for multiload-applet none

Description G.Wolfe Woodbury 2006-01-05 04:30:41 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
The gnome-system-monitor applet occasionally freezes even when system load is minimal.  This sometime presages a system freeze, but not always.  It is often under high disk or network load (which are being displayed.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-applets-2.10.1-9

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add gnome-system-monitor to panel
2. configure syste, network, and disk in 60 pixel windows
3. perform high network task like an NFS transfer or a binaries download
  

Actual Results:  load windows cease updating after a period of jerkiness

Expected Results:  continuous smooth operation

Additional info:

removing and re-installing the applet does not restore functionality; only a reboot clears the problem. (Hmm, have not tried logging out/in of gnome session.)

System is Celeron CPU, standard SiS PCI chipset, ATI Radeon 7200 GPU, IT8212 RAID,
1.5Go RAM, etc.
Comment 1 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2006-01-05 06:43:25 UTC 
logging out of the gnome session does not stop multiload-applet-2!
It is still running while the gdm-greeter is sitting there.
loging back in (w/o restarting X) results in a frozen monitor display.

Next I'll try restarting X.  Can't reboot at the moment.
Comment 2 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2006-01-05 06:55:38 UTC 
Restarted X, multiload-applet-2 was still running afterwards!
along with a bunch of gnome related stuff
killing some of it off results in a somewhat cleaner restart of gnome, but the
monitor applet (running as a new,different process) is missing in action -- just
a white rectangle where it should be.

Gnome seems a bit messed up in this area.

Comment 4 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2006-03-25 16:27:41 UTC 
The attachment is the extracted oops messages for the latest crash of
multiload-applet.
FC4 fully updated.
Comment 5 Christian Iseli 2007-01-22 10:55:09 UTC 
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.
