Possible fix

I looked into this a bit, and what i saw was the panel waiting for a reply from
bonobo-activation activating the applet. Bonobo activation was waiting for the
spawning of the geyes applet, but the geyes process wasn't around. b-a was
stuck reading the error reporting pipe from geyes though. I believe the reason
this happens is because we launched some other applets and they inherited the
error pipe, so geyes dying did not close the other side of the pipe.

This patch fixes this by closing all unneeded fds in processed spawned by
bonobo-activation-server. The patch is not really tested though.

Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2006-07-30 16:17:58 UTC

Should we get this patch upstream in b.g.o or send it directly to meeks for some
wider scrutiny ?

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2006-07-31 16:58:40 UTC

Patch didn't actually make a big difference for me. I tried two things:

1) point the geyes .server file to a nonexisting binary
2) add an exit(1) to geyes_applet_fill().

The first case was handled ok with or without the patch (you get a dialog
telling you there is a problem)

The second hangs b-a-s with or without the patch, and occasionally, the
panel crashes, too

Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2006-08-11 13:23:47 UTC

I added a bug.server file that pointed to /bin/false, and that reproduces the hang.

Comment 5 Alexander Larsson 2006-08-11 14:08:08 UTC

Using a /bin/false applet .server it was pretty easy to reproduce the hang,
however with the patch apply i'm totally failing to reproduce it, so I think its
right. (Although maybe not a full solution?)

Comment 6 Alexander Larsson 2006-08-11 14:17:37 UTC

I'm building this patch in libbonobo-2.15.0-3. I'm gonna close this bug and hope
it has gone away. However, if you see this hang on a live system that has
2.15.0-3 or later, please reopen this bug.

gnome-panel backtrace file

This problem still happens in libbonobo-2.15.0-3.
$rpm -q libbonobo gnome-panel
libbonobo-2.15.0-3
gnome-panel-2.15.90-4.fc6

Comment 8 Alexander Larsson 2006-08-14 10:27:40 UTC

It would be more interesting to have a backtrace of bonobo-activation-server.
If you see this again, please get that backtrace (for all threads).

Comment 9 Matthias Clasen 2006-08-14 16:48:04 UTC

Note that todays rawhide has libbonobo-2.15.3, which seems to have some more
fixes from Michael Meeks. It would be nice if you could retest with that version.

Comment 10 Matthias Clasen 2006-08-15 22:23:14 UTC

sangu ?

Comment 11 sangu 2006-08-16 04:41:06 UTC

gnome-panel-2.15.91-1.fc6 works well in libbonobo-2.15.3-1.fc6.
