Description Fabrice Bellet 2011-11-20 09:14:06 UTC
Hi!

I noticed a subtle behaviour change in vino/vinagre in F-16 compared to F-15. The vlc stream occasionally stalls, leaving a frozen image in the vinagre client, until some input from keyboard or mouse comes from the user to unfreeze it.

I tracked down the problem to the update in gnutls from 2.10.x to 2.12.x used by /usr/libexec/vino-server, and more precisely the responsible commit is aa5d64e9992c683bf50b92a9088adaf545a2e5a0.

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2011-11-21 08:32:33 UTC
The changelog message is:
** libgnutls: by default lowat level has been set to zero to avoid unnecessary
system calls. Applications that depended on it being 1 should explicitly call
gnutls_transport_set_lowat().

That means it should be fixed in the application.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 17:30:16 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

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 prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 22:16:40 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 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.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
