Description Deependra Singh Shekhawat 2008-11-12 10:57:38 UTC
Description of problem:
gnome-system-monitor's filesystem tab crashes the complete application with multiple segmentation fault when run by normal user.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.27.5-94.fc10.i686
gnome-system-monitor-2.24.1-1.fc10.i386


How reproducible:
The following are the steps to reproduce the error:-

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a latest rawhide machine (dated 12th nov 2008)
2. Make sure the gnome-system-monitor package is as mentioned in this bug
3. Run the gnome-system-monitor as normal user and click on the filesystems tab on the top.
  
Actual results:
(gnome-system-monitor:3337): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_get_valist: property `name' of object class `GThemedIcon' is not readable
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error dialog


Expected results:
It should have shown the filesystems tab. Or if this feature is disabled for normal user in the rawhide the tab should be disabled/removed for normal user.

Additional info:
This can't be reproduced if gnome-system-monitor is run by root user. Any more info if needed please ask.


Thanks

bug 456812 revisited...

Comment 2 Jason Farrell 2008-11-12 17:23:00 UTC
Not reproducible here, and have never encountered this bug. Using the default gnome theme/icons.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Well,

I have upgraded the same machine to F10 and I don't see this happening now. Seems to be working perfectly fine.

Thanks

I am experiencing a similar problem when I click on the "File Systems" tab.

[adrian@amethyst ~]$ gnome-system-monitor

(gnome-system-monitor:14824): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_get_valist: property `name' of object class `GThemedIcon' is not readable
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid


[adrian@amethyst ~]$ uname -r
2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64
[adrian@amethyst ~]$ rpm -q gnome-system-monitor
gnome-system-monitor-2.24.1-1.fc10.x86_64

Comment 7 NM 2008-12-19 00:23:57 UTC
This happening to me too at each reboot after most recent FC10 update (x86_64). Somehow at reboot all hard disk partitions are automatically mounted to the desktop. The gnome-system-monitor "File System" tab crashes. Manually un-mounting volumes fixing the problem. Hope this would help to reproduce the bug. 
Regards, 
NM

Today in FC10 on ppc64 for an ordinary user account, gnome-system-monitor does not start, but the problem does not happen for root:

[lucier@descartes ~]$ gnome-system-monitor

Comment 9 Jon Dufresne 2009-02-24 15:28:25 UTC
This looks like a duplicate of bug 456812. That bug claims this is fixed. If the bug is in fact different than the linked to bug please feel free to reopen this bug. If the bug is the same but you are still experiencing the bug with an updated version, please reopen the linked to bug with an updated description.
