Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 13:18:30 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.

Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/

The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

did you try deleting your glipper configuration in your users directory? (if
existent)

curious to see if this is a workaround or a one-off fix for myself

Comment 7 Matěj Cepl 2008-05-29 07:34:36 UTC
Damien, I would really like to see some response from you. Please.

I tried deleting ".glipper". But glipper is crashed to start up.
Another trying
  Downloading CVS version of glipper and Building it, it works good.



Comment 9 Arkady L. Shane 2008-11-17 07:42:57 UTC
Now (Nov 17 2008) glipper also crashes every time. It is necessary to rebuild it to fix this problem.

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 01:56:16 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 11 Jason Haar 2009-04-04 07:47:19 UTC
This is a me too.

I'm using FC10 with full disk encryption and the disk gets pretty hammered during login - and glipper almost 100% of the time crashes during that period.

I think there's a timing issue - the login process on my machine may be many seconds longer than a non-encrypted system - but the fact is that nothing BUT glipper seems to have an issue with it. i.e. I have 11 applets running - and glipper is the only one that has any issues.

It crashes, but if I re-add it (no other way to restart a crashed applet), it starts just fine. 

I think the crash is timing-related. Maybe the others reporting this also had encrypted harddisks - or otherwise slow I/O systems?

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 05:56:38 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
