F16 'grep ksm .xsession-errors' showing shutdown process with one legacy session app and firefox missing from the list of normal programs
Forgot to state clearly how to reproduce this: This can be easily reproduced by booting the KDE live image in a VM, installing firefox, launching it and then logging out. And then examining ~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc. You can also see the ksmserver output in ~/.xsession-errors after launching 'kdebugdialog' from the command-line, unticking 'Disable all debug output', (and optionally clicking 'Deselect All') and searching for 'ksm' to find the entries to select to see debug messages from ksmsever on the next login. I installed libSM-1.2.0-2.fc15 from the F14 live image but couldn't then trigger the 'legacy app' issue. So perhaps the regression isn't in libSM after all. Any ideas? So this is apparently because firefox still relies on libgnome(ui) for its session-saving support - see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694570 - but does not Require it. Session-saving worked on the F14 KDE image because libgnome was installed, in F15 onwards it's gone. I'm not sure when things changed on the default/gnome live image, but firefox session-saving is broken in the same way on the F17 gnome spin. I confirmed that this is the cause of the issue by removing libgnome from a F14 install (and seeing session-saving break) and by adding libgnomeui to a F15 install (and seeing session-saving fixed). Note: A better way to test this issue is to use xprop to get WM_CLIENT_LEADER and then use it with 'xprop -id ID | grep SM_CLIENT_ID' to check whether firefox has session-saving support. Thanks for the workaround Oliver! It's a relief to not have Firefox give me the "Oops, that was embarrassing" dialog every time I start it up after logging out. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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 to Fedora 17's end of life. 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 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 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. |
