abrt detected a crash.

Didn't do anything special. I just was working with XFCE desktop as usual as the ABRT icon appeared in the systray.
I'll have a look if I maybe can reproduce this and let you know then.

Are you by any chance using the nvidia binary only driver? 

Whats your exact video hardware make/model?

Comment 3 Dominic Hopf 2009-11-29 21:57:53 UTC
My graphics chip is a nvidia onboard chip which shares its memory with the main RAM, but runs with the noveau driver at the present. See this output of 'lspci -v' for reference:

00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 03d6 (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
	Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 83a4
	Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 21
	Memory at de000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
	Memory at dd000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Expansion ROM at dfec0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: nouveau
	Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb

I installed the system freshly a week ago from a XFCE Live Media, I didn't install any propietary or binary-only drivers from nvidia yet.

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2009-11-29 22:32:50 UTC
Are you using 'nomodeset' boot option?

Comment 5 Dominic Hopf 2009-11-29 23:50:24 UTC
Regarding the boot command line, no. Boot command line from grub.conf is as follows:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64 ro root=UUID=670a2c77-b98c-4022-bd39-14c8ee3c9398 noiswmd LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=de-latin1-nodeadkeys rhgb quiet

Comment 6 Kevin Fenzi 2009-11-30 04:11:47 UTC
ok. I was thinking it might be: 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs#NVIDIA-xorg-broken

You could try the server in the bug there and see if it helps any?

Comment 7 Dominic Hopf 2009-12-01 13:20:58 UTC
Ironically I couldn't reproduce this issue since 2009-11-28, but it occured exactly after I installed the xorg packages mentioned on the common bugs site. I'm attaching the new backtrace also, even if it doesn't seem to diff that much from the first one.

Comment 9 Kevin Fenzi 2009-12-02 05:35:19 UTC
Can you pinpoint if you are doing the same thing each time it crashes? Or does it seem random?

Unfortunately not. Even if I had two more crashes the last four days, I couldn't find any way to reproduce this. In other words: It seems very random, yes.

Comment 12 Kevin Fenzi 2009-12-06 18:22:38 UTC
Sigh. Fixing component.

Comment 13 Dominic Hopf 2010-03-15 21:37:41 UTC
Didn't had this for a very long time now. Seems to run very stable again. If I remember correctly there was an update of xfce4-panel in the meantime? Or am I confusing something? Anyway, if there was, this issue seems to be fixed with the update. :)

Comment 14 Kevin Fenzi 2010-03-15 22:10:31 UTC
Yes, there is a 4.6.3 now... 

Glad to hear it's working, and feel free to file a new bug or reopen if you spot it again.
