From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20061219 Fedora/1.5.0.9-1.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.9 pango-text Description of problem: When starting Wesnoth, the screen goes blank, and the computer seems to hang. It began doing this after the latest big upgrade batch with the kernel+glibc and so on. I am using the default nv graphics driver. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wesnoth-1.2-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Wesnoth. 2. 3. Actual Results: The screen goes blank and hangs. Expected Results: Wesnoth should have loaded. Additional info:
Hmm, I'm unable to reproduce this on my FC6 machine. Do you have any other information that can help me? Backtrace or output from the terminal?
Ping. Is this bug still present?
(In reply to comment #2) > Ping. Is this bug still present? Yes, even after the last upgrade of Wesnoth. I can't give any backtrace or terminal output, because it seems to happen before any output to the terminal has happened. If I run Wesnoth under gdb it still hangs X (caps lock light does not work), so I can't read any backtrace. I can't reproduce it deterministically, but it might have something to do with the sound, because if Skype recieves a call, when Wesnoth is running (happened once), the same thing happened. So it could maybe be sound interference from Skype or Gaim, which makes Wesnoth hang on startup, but I haven't recognised any pattern wrt. what programs are running. So, 1) The bug is still present, and 2) I need some suggestions about how to investigate the bug. Regards, Peter

About half of the times Wesnoth runs normally, and half of the time it does not (note to my comment about what other programs are running, when Wesnoth is started).
ping. are you still experiencing this bug in the latest version in FC6? I've been unable to ever reproduce this behavior.
No, I upgraded to FC7, and do not remember having any problems. It might have been a hardware problem, because I had graphical problems during the summer, and sent it in for repair. They changed the motherboard and the graphics card. Now I have other problems (all devices on IRQ 11 are ignored by FC6-8, which includes the network card, USB ports, and the build in speakers), but I'll try to remember to test Wesnoth again, when that gets sorted out. Should we close this one, since FC6 will soon be unsupported, and I have upgraded a long time ago anyway?
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to mark it as NOTABUG for now, since we've been unable to reproduce it. If you see it again, we can always reopen it.
