Description of problem: Connecting remotely with freenx fails when Compiz is enabled as current window manager. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable Compiz with the Desktop Effects tool when working locally. 2. Logout 3. Connect with feenx client remotely. Actual results: The remote desktop session startup fails. Dmesg shows the following segmentation fault with nxagent: segfault at 18 ip 430a46 sp 7fff576999d0 Expected results: Being able to login remotely with freenx client regardless of the fact that Compiz was enabled during the local session. Remote freenx session should always enforce Metacity or just work properly with Compiz enabled. Additional info: Disabling Compiz and setting Metacity as default window manager via SSH using gconftool-2 solves the problem: gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/gnome-session/rh/window_manager "metacity" I don't have i386 machine available to test this issue with, but I doubt it's x86_64 arch specific problem.
This bug is also reproducable on a i386 Fedora 9 machine. Versions: freenx-server-0.7.3-11.fc9.i386 nx-3.2.0-30.fc9.i386 nxclient-3.2.0-14.i386
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 to the applicable version. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I have not encountered this issue on Fedora 10 or 11 (x86_64). though I am starting compiz via the fusion-icon application, and it "fails" gracefully and switches to metacity when I connect via freenx.
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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.
