abrt 1.0.3 detected a crash. How to reproduce ----- 1. Asked wireshark to capture from eth0 2. Set a "host <IP Address>" rule to limit capture to matching packets 3. Started capturing Comment ----- As soon as capture was started, wireshark crashed. The crash appeared to cause a kernel panic, the X server abruptly stoped, the screen reverted immediately to a text console login screen, but input was no possible. The keyboard LEDs were flashing, I presume that's an indication of a kernel panic in a situation where the kernel can't dump panic information to the screen, so as a last resort uses the LEDs to indicate failure. I had thought that KMS would allow the kernel to switch the display to text mode and hence output a useful error message, perhaps that's the plan, but it's not implemented yet. Looking at /var/log/messages, I see messages indicating a wireshark problem, see below. It's interesting that dhclient was still functioning at 17.40.49, yet wireshark segfaulted at 17.40.24. Perhaps this wasn't a kernel panic. However upon starting capture, the crash and the LED flashing seemed instantaneous.

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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
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.
