Description Kevin dePfyffer 2011-04-29 01:20:43 UTC
Description of problem:pavucontrol over x11vnc locks up network


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
x11vnc-0.9.12-18.fc15.x86_64
pavucontrol-0.9.10-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.start x11vnc as user
2.from remote machine connect to x11vnc
3.open pavucontrol
4. my whole network goes down, I even have to reboot my router
  
Actual results: network goes down


Expected results: pavucontrol should open without affecting my network.


Additional info:
I really wasnt even sure how to file this, pavucontrol works fine locally but I use my machine as a media center and have to adjust the volume/settings. This was not a problem with f14.

Firstly thank you for the bugreport.
How it is reproducible? Do you have physical access to that machine too? Can you look on logs?

yes I have access to it, just let me know what files you would like and I will provide what ever you need.
Thanks

Initially run commands
ifconfig
route -n
before and after run pavucontrol over vnc session. Attach output as files there.

Also look relevant messages in main log (tail /var/log/messages).

Comment 6 Kevin dePfyffer 2011-05-01 21:11:15 UTC
ok a little more digging and it has something to do with the marvell 88E8053 PCI-E nic (em1 on my machine)

ifdown em1
ssh to eth0 (nvidia ck804) start x11vnc
Connect to x11vnc through eth0
run pavucontroll
no problems


Marvel card---linksys dd-wrt 24sp2--x11vnc, run pavucontroll fails

nvidia card---linksys dd-wrt 24sp2--x11vnc, run pavucontroll works fine

Someone who knows how to capture and decipher network packets is going to have to figure this out which is over my head. If there is anything else I can provide please let me know.
Thank you.

You don't provide route and interfaces information after network fail.

And in any case I very doubt it may have relation to x11vnc.

Route and interface information did not change.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:00:01 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
