Description of problem: I am testing out Phoebe as a standard user on a fresh install. I ran "Floppy Formatter" and it immediately crashed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-utils-2-1.4-2 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "Floppy Formatter" from the Red Hat menu 2. Watch it crash Actual results: Application "gfloppy" has crashed due to a fatal error. (Segmentation fault) Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gfloppy' (no debugging symbols found)...0x40729bc2 in waitpid () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #0 0x40729bc2 in waitpid () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x4007a2e5 in libgnomeui_module_info_get () from /usr/lib/libgnomeui-2.so.0 #2 <signal handler called> #3 0x42075608 in strcmp () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #4 0x0804bfec in main () #5 0x42015970 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 Expected results: Anything other then a crash. Additional info:
I installed gnome-utils-debuginfo and saw this text in the terminal when gfloppy crashed. dlopen failed on 'libthread_db.so.1' - /lib/i686/libthread_db.so.1: undefined symbol: ps_get_thread_area GDB will not be able to debug pthreads.

The old spec file wasn't installing a schema. It now is, but you prolly need to reset the key by doing something like: gconftool-2 -s /apps/gfloppy/default_fs -t string ext2 There's better error checking filed upstream at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104333
