Description Rouquier Philippe 2009-11-19 21:22:05 UTC
Description of problem:
When running a GL application (like gnome-shell, glxgears) after some time of use (around 5 min) the whole system freezes. It probably even crash since I can't even see the computer on the network anymore and therefore cannot ssh into it.

I have a GMA 4500 HD integrated into a desktop motherboard (asus).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.9.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start gnome-shell package
2. play with it
=> hard freeze

Additional info:

I had a look at the Xorg.0.log and it shows no warning/error whatsoever (nor /var/log/messages); there is not a single line added as soon as it freezes. I don't have any xorg.conf file.

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), output of the dmesg command, and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Roquier, The above is a canned message. I know you indicate that your Xorg.0.log is useless, by your view, but I am positive that mcepl would ask you for it anyway. Please attach the above listed documents. :)

can we get the kernel messages too? again, we know you said there's nothing there from when it crashes, but there may be something from earlier. thanks!

Hi,

I have the same graphics card (gma 4500), and I also use gnome-shell, but on Fedora 13.

It doesn't crash often (except with gnome-mplayer and GL2 ... which work well but crashes after some time of use for videos).

However, it also haas big problems with specific programs like OpenOffice which often freezes (actually, the display doesn't freeze since I can still maximize, resize the window, all is fine, but no input seems to be recognized after those kind of "freezes", I cannot use the program... and that is really problematic).
And there's no crash, which implies I don't know what causes that.

Or it is maybe intel-graphiccard related ?

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 05:59:52 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  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 '12'.

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 12'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 12 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:

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2010-12-04 03:07:57 UTC
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 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.
