RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

comment

Actions taken before this happened:
 - laptop in a dock, connected to external monitor via this dock
 - System -> Shutdown -> Suspend
 - button no. 1 on dock (first step to remove from dock) - caused wake up of laptop
 - button no. 2 on dock (physical remove of laptop from dock)
 - System -> Shutdown -> Suspend again
 - wake up outside the dock, without monitor
 - desktop still "two displays wide", programs displayd outside laptop screen (going to attach a screenshot)
 - therefore trying to fix it via Display preferences...

How to reproduce
-----
1. In Gnome: System -> Preferences -> Display
2. Click Detect Monitors
3. Crash
It happens everytime now - I repeated this crash five times now...
Don't know, whether will be able to reproduce eg. after logout, reboot...

Display Preferences dialog

Just before clicking Detect Monitors button, making it crash.
Note the size of the screenshot - desktop is still enlarged for already disconnected monitor.

This is probably a bug in the fix for bug 582564

Comment 10 Ray Strode [halfline] 2010-07-08 21:20:07 UTC 
So, this crash is from the fix in bug 582564.  The patch basically does 

SetMonitorConfig(GetMonitorConfig ())

to make the server update its internal timestamps.  This is failing with a "BadMatch" error after suspend.  I'm assuming this error is getting caused because the config is changing between the "getting" part and "setting" part as things are waking up.

I'm building a package now that ignores errors in the call which will hopefully be "good enough"

Verified on gnome-desktop-2.28.2-8.el6

I haven't faced to this issue while trying to reproduce it according to steps in C#1. Please feel free to reopen this issue if you'll meet this problem again.
Comment 13 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 20:30:29 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
