Description Horst H. von Brand 2008-02-16 16:30:55 UTC
Description of problem:
I got several oopses with the kernel, and several Gnome applets (Fish, CPU
Frequency Scaling (this is a dual-core i686), perhaps others) crash on start.
Only the Show Desktop Button showed up (I've got Show Desktop Button, Fish,
Clock, CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor, setroubleshoot, Power Manager, Network
Manager Applet).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.25-0.40.rc1.git2.fc9.i686

How reproducible:
Booted once with dire results, didn't try again. With
kernel-2.6.24.1-28.fc9.i686 the same applets work fine.


Steps to Reproduce:

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
Got reported by kerneloops too.

Xorg.0.log when X crashes on x86_64

On x86_64 with the same kernel, X doesn't start ("X respawning too fast", etc).

Who on Earth is 200.160.240.20, why are they trying to connect here?! The IP
belongs to a machine in Brazil.

Comment 4 Eric Paris 2008-02-18 19:54:24 UTC
I'm certainly not sure because i just saw BZ 433339 just a second ago, but all
of the WARNING() stuff in dmesg looks to be a seperate and unrelated issue. 
They shouldn't be harming anything other than system performance and wasting log
space.  If you don't mind, would you please post your auditctl -l output into BZ
433339 and attempt to verify that the appearance of these WARN messages in dmesg
do not coincide with a failure?

Comment 5 Eric Paris 2008-02-18 23:12:23 UTC
I take that back, it is possible that BZ 433339 is sending SIGKILL to your
apps...  So this one might want to wait a bit till I can get that one fixed to
see if they are the same problem  (as an alternative, remove all audit rules and
see if that fixes this bug, if so, this is a dup)

Comment 6 Horst H. von Brand 2008-02-25 12:20:52 UTC
How do I remove audit rules? I haven't touched anything there AFAIR.

Comment 7 Horst H. von Brand 2008-02-25 12:23:32 UTC
O, BTW, with the last Gnome (gnome-settings-daemon-2.21.91-3.fc9.i386) I see
lots of other problems. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434772
for details. And this is with the last working kernel-2.6.24.1-28.fc9.i686

Comment 8 Horst H. von Brand 2008-03-15 15:09:25 UTC
Now it works, and has for a while.
