Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 208825
Random app lockups when accessing menu items
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:38:06 EDT
Description of problem: Applications sometimes lock up randomly when accessing menu items. For example: evolution > Edit > Preferences firefox > File > Open File ... gnome-terminal > Edit > Current Profile ... panel > Add to Panel ... Once application hangs, it doesn't refresh it's window. It needs to be killed. Freezing of applications is non-deterministic -- however, it is not linked to any DNS/NFS (non)activity as far as I can tell. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC6 Test3 How reproducible: Sometimes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use one of the menu items mentioned above 2. Application freezes (sometimes) Actual results: Application hangs. UI is non-responsive. Expected results: The menu item functions as expected. Additional info: could it be D-Bus related? Starting system-config-printer prints out: (system-config-printer.py:3459): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Failed to open session DBUS connection: Unable to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man dbus-launch' and 'man dbus-daemon' for help) [saikat@sioux ~]$ set | grep -i sess DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-yFZIo89f50,guid=76be20450ddfed6d7956759898003d00 DESKTOP_SESSION=default GDMSESSION=default GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=Default SESSION_MANAGER=local/sioux.XXX.XXXXXXX.edu:/tmp/.ICE-unix/2773
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the issue if it is still present. Since there haven't been any updates to the report in quite a long time now after we've requested additional information, we're assuming the problem is either no longer present in our current OS release, or that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem. Setting status to CANTFIX, however if you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora Core release and are still interested in Red Hat tracking the issue, and assisting in troubleshooting the problem, please feel free to provide the information requested above, and reopen the report. Thank you in advance. (this message is mass message)
