Yes this bug is reproducible (before trying to reproduce this bug yourself you will want to know how to fix the system after trying it: see the workaround in the original bug report). * Right click on the bottom panel. * Properties -> Orientation -> Top * Logout and log back in again. * Gnome panel is now hung * Use Ctrl+Alt+F1 and follow workaround then kill Xorg to get back to the login prompt and log back in again * You now have a working system again.
I have attached a backtrace I wasn't able to get a backtrace of the start of the hang as I don't know how attach gdb to gnome-panel before it starts as it starts automatically on login but I attached it after it started running. I had to modify the instructions slightly and use step 10000 rather than continue as continue resulted in a hang and Ctrl+C did not abort the program. ** Attachment added: "Backtrace of gnome-panel being hung." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49819626/gdb-gnome-panel.txt -- If both top and bottom panels are set to "top" then post upgrade to lucid gnome-panel hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589899 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
