Bug#389088: Segfault when taking a screenshot after disk partitioning

I got thrown to the text console and saw a segfault. Then the partitioning manager was started again and at least I could start from scratch. Cristoph, could you please give us an overview of the HW configuration (HW architecture, graphic board) that caused the segfault? thanks Attilio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Didn't we have this problem anyway if the button was enabled while the installer was running? Maybe we just need to look into that and disable it... pgpfLhVaWB7Xq.pgp Description: PGP signature

Indeed, Christoph's hw configuration is pretty common (at first i tough he was runnin the g-i on some exotic hardware), so the bug may be due to something at a higher level than DFB. In the GTK frontend the Screenshot button is disabled every time a frontend_progress_xxx() is called, so i guess it's impossible for one to click on it while a progressbar is running. Christoph, were you actually able to take a screenshot *while* the progressbar was running? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Christoph, were you actually able to take a screenshot *while* the progressbar was running? I just tried it again and it seems to have been a timing issue. After pressing the Next button the Screenshot button is still available for about a second. If I click on the Screenshot button very quickly then the installer (component) segfault. Before the actual partitioning happens the Screenshot button gets deactivated. So I think we can blame it on the timing. Most people won't encounter this effect. So if it's a real effort to fix this I'd suggest to leave it like it is. Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
