Just to chime in, we're testing Red Hat 7.0 on a Compal N38W2 (the OEM white box version of the Dell Inspiron 5000e), which has the ATI Mobility M3 Rage 128 video chipset. We have the exact same symptoms as this user, but it seems like what's causing the segfault (according to strace output) is an incomplete read from /proc/apm. In fact, if I just type 'cat /proc/apm' at the command line, I get a segfault too. So it may be a problem with apmd or the apm code in the kernel, not necessarily with the panel app itself. I'm going to try compiling a new 2.2.17 kernel and see if that fixes the problem. Yep. It's something in the 2.2.x kernel APM code that seems to make panel die a horrible death. The 2.4.0-test8 kernel I just built runs panel just fine. If you're suffering from this problem, use 2.4.0 until whatever is broken in 2.2 gets fixed. Something strange is going on.... I installed HelixGnome and their panel works. apm still segfaults. At least the panel is working...... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16891 *** This was marked as a dup of 16891. I tried to look at that link and recieved a permission denied type of error. I'm curious why Bugzilla blocks access to some bugs? |
