Created attachment 873683 [details] The menus become inoperative Description of problem: My desktop menus become messed up from time to time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux localhost.localdomain 3.13.5-202.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 3 19:08:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: No idea, it happens spontanously.
Thank you for the report. However this has been reported to the incorrect component. Reassigning from 'gnome-abrt' to 'gnome-shell'. Feel free to report any further bugs you find to our bug tracking system. In the future, in order to find the correct component, you can refer to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/CorrectComponent
Thank you for redirecting the report. Even with this site I would not have found the correct components, since I did not start any program. And I neither find "System" nor "Current sessions" anywhere.
I'm getting this about weekly, too. For me when it messes up, half of a gear appears in the lower left corner, the bottom half of the gear cut off by the bottom of the desktop. Clicking on that half gear gives no response. Another symptom is that the Activities menu is unsearchable. I can only click on the tic-tac-toe at the bottom of the menu to hunt for the desired activity. If I type any characters to try to narrow the search, I end up with a column of untitled icons in the middle top of the desktop. The column of icons is usually neatly narrowed down to zero icons after I type the third search character. A third symptom is that the Upper left menu which I usually use to log out now has most of the items cut off by the right edge of the desktop. The only item I can click on that menu is the settings icon at the bottom of the menu. I can no longer log off. The only way to log off is to go to a virtual terminal and reboot. Is that what you are seeing mail8? Are there any logs I can provide? gnome-shell-3.10.4-1.fc20.x86_64
Exactly. Have a look at the screenshot that I have uploaded.
Oops, I didn't notice that before. Yes, that's it. In case this is hardware related: $ lspci | egrep 'VGA|NVID' 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] (rev a1) I'm pretty sure the Nouveau driver isn't working and the system is using the i915 driver for the VGA compatible controller imbedded in the Haswell processor.
I have an ATI card, can't get the exact model right now. It seemed to happen consistently after the display had been left locked for a while. Maybe the Wacom screen turned off completely and changed the monitor configuration? Also, every time, gnome-shell was hung so I couldn't unlock the screen. I had to switch to a console and restart gnome-shell to get back in where I found this mess.
lspci | egrep 'VGA|NVID' 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [NVS 4200M] (rev ff) I am not sure. I did install bumblebee before upgrading to F20. Now, I am not sure whether it still works. Last time I tried GLXgears system crashed.
test -- sorry no content
In my case it happens sometimes just after booting the system. Only, on my notebook. So far, I did not experience it on my desktop computer.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. 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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
