Description of problem: System starts to slow down and I check the process and find a lot of kerneloops processes running. One for every open and closed session since the system was rebooted. This happens in Gnome or KDE. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kerneloops-0.12-5.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: All the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Reboot system. 2.Login using Gnome or KDE. 3. type in ps aux |grep kerneloops Actual results: root 8093 0.0 0.0 84224 2492 ? S Sep02 0:00 /usr/sbin/kerneloops --nodaemon root 10326 0.0 0.0 84224 2488 ? S Sep02 0:00 /usr/sbin/kerneloops --nodaemon root 11849 0.0 0.0 84224 2492 ?

S 17:14 0:00 /usr/sbin/kerneloops --nodaemon robin 22068 0.0 0.1 181036 4660 ? S 17:55 0:00 /usr/bin/kerneloops-applet root 22088 0.0 0.0 84224 2492 ? S 17:55 0:00 /usr/sbin/kerneloops --nodaemon Nothing in the log files. Expected results: If there is an actual oops, then I would expect the kerneloops-applet to be visible and I could respond to it. At present, each login (Gnome or KDE from GDM) generates one. The 17:14 login was from Gnome. The 17:55 was from KDE. There is no applet on the desktop in either case. Some strange popup flashes on the screen and then disappears in KDE. I don't know about Gnome as I have not watched it. Additional info: Nothing in any of the logs. I have changed my .kerneloops from {allow-submit = always} to {allow-submit = ask}, just like the /etc/kerneloops.conf robin 24800 0.0 0.1 181036 4660 ?

There is no icon on the KDE desktop. I have to look at the gnome desktop to see if there is an icon.
We're also seeing this issue. A new kerneloops process is spawned with each login and never goes away.
I just checked an at present there are 58 processes running. root 30343 0.0 0.0 84220 2144 ? S Oct04 0:02 /usr/sbin/kerneloops --nodaemon This is since the last reboot, 10 days ago. I still have a /usr/bin/kerneloops-applet process running but nothing showing up on any desktop. This problem could be related to the applet not running properly.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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.
