Created attachment 504355 [details] startx.log when blinking panel Description of problem: The desktop appears, but the panel is blinking only (it is blank, has no panel items). Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kills the desktop. I repeated it few times with the same effect. Machine reboot cleared the problem. This has happened multiple times so far in F15 (both with GUI and text startup of LXDE). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lxpanel.i686 0.5.6-2.fc15 @koji-override-0/$releasever How reproducible: start LXDE Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ startx > ~/.startx.log 2>&1 2. 3. Actual results: blank and blinking panel Expected results: functional panel Additional info:
Created attachment 504356 [details] startx.log with proper DE setup (no blinking panel)
Did this behavior ever appear again? is ot possible that the panel was crashing in a loop and got restarted by lxsession all the time? Please check this the next time this happens.
(In reply to comment #2) > Did this behavior ever appear again? As I said I have seen it happening since I installed F15, every 1-2 weeks, last time when I filed this report. > is ot possible that the panel was crashing > in a loop and got restarted by lxsession all the time? Please check this the > next time this happens. How to check it ? 'ps' command from another tty ? - what to 'grep' for ? capture ~/.startx.log or ~/.xsession-errors from another tty ? JB

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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
