Panel Does Not Load on Thinkpad X21
Last modified: 2008-06-16 22:00:21 EDT
Description of problem: Panel fails to load when booting into Gnome via the i686 Fedora 7 Live CD (Fedora-7-Live-i686.iso, 5/25/2007 release) on an IBM Thinkpad X21. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I'm assuming it's an issue with gnome-panel, I haven't figured out a way to tell if it's really this component. The release version is that bundled with the F7 live CD. How reproducible: Consistenly, without fail. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot F7 Live CD 2. Log in as user Fedora or Root 3. Wait and watch as panel doesn't appear Actual results: Panel doesn't load Expected results: Panel would load Additional info: No error messages are given in X
Should the severity be higher? Seems like a high severity, but let's be honest... how many of us are actually still running X21s.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 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.
