lxpanel crasch loading background file on x86_64
Last modified: 2011-04-26 10:50:23 UTC
The LXDE desktop is loaded, one can rightclick on the desktop. But the taskbar (is this the correct name?) at the bottom of the screen keeps restarting in an endless loop. Output on the console where the X server is started (endless loop): GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:137: failed to allocate 187168948140813 bytes aborting... lxpanel: can't load netstat plugin GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:137: failed to allocate 187363653324901 bytes aborting... lxpanel: can't load netstat plugin GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:137: failed to allocate 186808170887949 bytes aborting... lxpanel: can't load netstat plugin Happens after a fresh installation of Milestone 7 with LXDE desktop selected.
the task bar is "lxpanel" could you please upgrade to version into X11:lxde repo? i will be able to ask you for more infos when i will be at home, so i can write down the correct path for config files, you need to edit to stop the loop, so we can debug better the crasch
(In reply to comment #1) Please be aware that this is the first time that I use bugzilla, and it is the first time that I do some tests with a beta release. > could you please upgrade to version into X11:lxde repo? I'm not sure what you mean. I did the following: - download lxpanel-0.5.5-38.1.x86_64.rpm and lxpanel-lang-0.5.5-38.1.noarch.rpm from software.opensuse.org and install them with "rpm --upgrade" - startx (from runlevel 3), same effect as before. If I should upgrade other packages or from a different source, please tell me. > i will be able to ask you for more infos when i will be at home, so i can write > down the correct path for config files, you need to edit to stop the loop, so > we can debug better the crasch The test machine is at my work, so you will probably not get answers before tomorrow.
make it easier :) LOL just add X11:lxde repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/lxde/openSUSE_Factory/ and upgrade all lxde packages from there. hopefully, the lxpanel version there already fix your problem, if NOT you need to perform the following steps. edit the file /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart removing the line @lxpanel --profile LXDE (you need to be root) than log in into lxde, open a terminal and run lxpanel

Aborted
Doing an strace suggested that the error occurs during reading of /usr/share/lxpanel/images/background.png Renaming this file to background1.png fixes the problem. Is this a libpng problem?
it may... can you attach or paste the back trace please?
Created attachment 365436 [details] strace of lxpanel Attached the complete output of strace.
confirmed, i am downloading i586 dvd to check if that is a x86_64 only bug
seems to be the same as in #608087 fixed for me with gtk2-2.20.1-2.1.x86_64. HTH
confirmed to be a duplicate. upgrading gtk from factory fix the issue *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 608087 ***
