Description J. J. Ramsey 2011-06-02 22:02:23 UTC
Created attachment 502662 [details]
Copy of Xorg.0.log.old file after crash

Description of problem:

GNOME shell has crashed on me a couple times for no obvious apparent reason. The X server restarts, and the Xorg.0.log.old file reports a segmentation fault.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.2-1.fc15

How reproducible: Difficult to say. I've had it happen once when shoving the mouse cursor into the upper-right corner, and again when clicking on a link to http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/bj/tcs/31084-pieces, but I can't figure out how to reliably trigger the crash.

This file should looks similar, though not identical, to the previous attached copy of Xorg.0.log.ord.

Copy of ~/.xsession-errors after second crash

When GNOME shell crashed for a second time and the X server restarted, I switched to a virtual console and made a copy of .xsession-errors before logging in on GDM again.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:43:41 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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained.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:
