Description of problem: Fresh install of Fedora 15, fully updated. when i use Nautilus to view the Trash and select Empty Trash, the GUI freezes. cursor will still track but ctrl-alt-f2 does nothing, esc does nothihg, clickeing anywhere does nothing. had to crash and reboot. One time when this happened, the "do you want to empty trash" alert sheet was sliding downward on the screen and stopped halfway. all the characters were squished. so it is possible that this problem has to do with the display of desktop effects. this machine has an Nvidia NV40 graphics card and is using the default nouveau driver. i have identified the component as nautilus because that is what was in front of me twice when this problem occurred, but i have had other random GUI freezes today, did not write down where. i will update this report when it happens again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Hppened 2 times in a row. Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot system, log in. 2. choose "activities" and click "Files" icon in favorites. 3. view Trash. 4. right click, choose "empty trash" Actual results: gui freeze, no response to any click or to ctl-alt-f2 etc. Expected results: trash empty, gui still works. Additional info:
Tried again today. Could empty trash. Then opened shotwell. Initial dialog had a checkbox to import pictures from ~/Pictures. Left that checked and clicked OK. The bottom panel said "preparing to import." A dialog sheet slid down that said "1 non-image file skipped" with an OK button. The GUI was frozen. Cursor would track the mouse but the OK button would not click, could not switch to other apps with alt-tab or by clicking window, ctl-alt-F2 did nothing. This time I ssh'd into the machine from another machine. This worked. Machine was idling, load average 0.11. top shows top - 10:07:29 up 26 min, 3 users, load average: 0.02, 0.11, 0.12 Tasks: 163 total, 2 running, 161 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 1.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 98.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3852680k total, 647516k used, 3205164k free, 31736k buffers Swap: 4685820k total, 0k used, 4685820k free, 388644k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1160 root 20 0 73664 12m 7536 S 3.0 0.3 0:14.42 Xorg 1917 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.3 0.0 0:00.03 kworker/1:3 1 root 20 0 15544 13m 1912 S 0.0 0.4 0:02.72 systemd 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kthreadd tried "sudo shutdown -r now" and got the blast message but no shutdown.
Enabled "forced fallback" mode and cannot make it fail. So the correct component is not Nautilus of Shotwell, but some part of Gnome or nouveau.
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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
