Description Stephen Moore 2003-01-14 03:17:35 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030108

Description of problem:
I notice quite frequently after returning to the computer (while xscreensaver is
on) gnome-mixer has crashed. There is a dialogue "do I want to report the bug".
If I click yes then bug-buddy doesn't recognise the component an I have to
manually specify gnome-media and it doesn't appear to supply a gdb backtrace either.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.leave computer
2.xscreensavver starts
3.on xscreensaver exit error message
    

Additional info:

I have a couple of extra xscreensaver hacks (found on freshmeat). I think some
of these may try to output sound? Haven't ever heard any though

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2003-01-14 21:15:18 UTC
We'll really need a backtrace to do much here. It will be easier 
in the upcoming release, where we have -debuginfo packages containing
debug symbols.

Comment 2 Stephen Moore 2003-01-14 23:01:42 UTC
I'm happy to do a backtrace, don't know how, but willing.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2003-01-14 23:22:13 UTC
When you get the crash dialog, if you click "show details" or something on the
first page it will show the backtrace if it has one.
It may be necessary to wait until you can get debug symbols by 
installing -debuginfo packages in the next version, though.

I can't provide anymore info on this bug as I am phoebeing at this time. I
suggest closing it.

Comment 5 Stephen Moore 2003-02-11 23:21:30 UTC
