Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:04:41 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: Whenever I attempt to run totem or k3b Fedora will hard lock. I can not move my mouse, switch to a terminal or anything. The lock occurs right when k3b begins to scan for cdrom devices but I am not sure specifically where the error is. For totem it crashes on start. I have compiled these apps from source and tried rpms also and tried to rebuild the rpms. Same issue regardless. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): k3b-0.11.3 and Totem-0.98 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open k3b or totem 2. system crashes 3. Actual Results: System hard locks and I have to press the reset button to reboot. Expected Results: k3b opens up and I can burn cds or totem opens up and I can view media. Additional info: the movie player mplayer works fine and I have yet to try other burning software.
Any log messages at all?
no log comments that I know of. It simply locks completly and then I have to reboot by manually pressing the reset button. I believe it may have something to do with the cdrom but im not sure. I have a scsi dvd on an adaptec scsi card (use the AIC7xxx(new) module) and an ata LG 52x burner. If there are any specific logs I need to check please tell me.
When you reboot after a lockup is there nothing odd-looking at all in /var/log/messages? Something like scsi reset or timeout errors, oops messages. Used to happen to me with a borked CDRW. Box would hang, there were tons of SCSI stacktraces in the log when I looked afterwards.
is this still a problem with the latest 2.6.9 update ?
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
