#2 means that the issue must be tied to some library (likely X11?) that is (a) different between the two systems, and (b) disabled at runlevel 3. However:ġ) This bug manifests on RHEL as well (thus it is upstream from CentOS) andĢ) I have another system at runlevel 5 where this bug does _not_ occur. At runlevel 3, this bug does not manifest. This bug was originally filed for CentOS (see external bug link), and a workaround described there is to boot the system into runlevel 3. Things should work properly when clicking the System menu. Upon clicking the System menu, gnome-panel hangs, and causes other gnome services to become completely unresponsive. Via console access or ssh, issue a kill -HUP to gnome-panel, to get a new instance started functionality is restored, though performing step 3 will repeat the hang.
Note that the Terminals are now also unresponsive.ĥ. Click around in the menus - Applications and Places works fine, but when clicking on System, gnome-panel will hang and become completely unresponsive.Ĥ. Open some Terminal windows (and any other windows you choose) to test step 4.ģ. Log in to the session via a VNC client (any client). Start a VNC session using vncserver make sure it runs Gnome (issue the 'startx' command in the. Occurs only for sessions started using vncserver does not occur for console sessions accessed via vino-server.ġ. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):Ģ.16.1-7.el5 (though it would appear the bug may be due to a dependency, not with gnome-panel itself)Īlways, on affected systems never, on unaffected systems (see Additional Info). This bug appears to be due to some deep dependency (likely X11), as it is not tied to the specific version of gnome-panel (see Additional Info, below). Kill-HUPing gnome-panel restores functionality, though the hang can easily re-occur. As such, the desktop session is entirely unusable when this bug occurs. This causes Gnome in general to stop responding - Terminals are no longer selectable, windows no longer switchable, etc. When using a remote desktop session via VNC (started using vncserver), gnome-panel will hang when clicking on the System menu.
