From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: The gnome-system-monitor applet occasionally freezes even when system load is minimal. This sometime presages a system freeze, but not always. It is often under high disk or network load (which are being displayed.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.10.1-9 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. add gnome-system-monitor to panel 2. configure syste, network, and disk in 60 pixel windows 3. perform high network task like an NFS transfer or a binaries download Actual Results: load windows cease updating after a period of jerkiness Expected Results: continuous smooth operation Additional info: removing and re-installing the applet does not restore functionality; only a reboot clears the problem. (Hmm, have not tried logging out/in of gnome session.) System is Celeron CPU, standard SiS PCI chipset, ATI Radeon 7200 GPU, IT8212 RAID, 1.5Go RAM, etc.
logging out of the gnome session does not stop multiload-applet-2! It is still running while the gdm-greeter is sitting there. loging back in (w/o restarting X) results in a frozen monitor display. Next I'll try restarting X. Can't reboot at the moment.
Restarted X, multiload-applet-2 was still running afterwards! along with a bunch of gnome related stuff killing some of it off results in a somewhat cleaner restart of gnome, but the monitor applet (running as a new,different process) is missing in action -- just a white rectangle where it should be. Gnome seems a bit messed up in this area.
Created attachment 126731 [details] Kernel oops (extract) for multiload-applet
The attachment is the extracted oops messages for the latest crash of multiload-applet. FC4 fully updated.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
