From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: As advised in bug #138714, I upgraded the x11 to the rawhide version in order to see if it fixed the problem with the stuck screen resolution. I have been using this recent release of x11, and have noticed that both GYUM (gyum-1.0-1.fc2), and Synaptic (synaptic-0.55.3-1.1.fc3.rf) now crash part way as they launch. Thought it was worth logging as a bug before it gets released. Greg Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.1.903-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch GYUM or Synaptic 2.Screen starts to appear, then dissapears. 3. Actual Results: Screen starts to appear, then dissapears. Expected Results: Both worked correctly just before upgrading the xorg-x11. Additional info:
Just upgraded to synaptic-0.55.3-2 from the Fedora Extras, and Synaptic now works well.
If synaptic or gyum are crashing, it would most likely be a bug in those applications themselves, and you should report the bug to the author of either application directly, or to the maintainer of the synaptic/gyum packages. You've indicated that you've upgraded synaptic and the problem is gone, so I'm assuming this was a synaptic bug fixed in a newer version of synaptic, and closing the xorg-x11 bug report as "NOTABUG". If you experience further problems with synaptic or gyum, please report the problem to the authors of the software for investigation. Thanks.
