I guess the Invalid status was invalid itself, as I provided as much information as I can (because, I state again, NO crash report is generated) ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- gnome-screensaver (and gnome-screensaver-preferences) crash upon displaying Vlechtwerk screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 185896] Re: gnome-screensaver (and gnome-screensaver-preferences) crash upon displaying Vlechtwerk screensaver
Another comment (sorry for the double post), I've run all screensavers on another Hardy installation (7.10 - 8.04 upgrade, with regular aptitude full-upgrades), and I did not come across the specific screensaver which crashes my main PC :s Strange, as my main system is an up-to-date installation of a Hardy beta (5 or 6)... Could I provide more information to resolve this bug? -- gnome-screensaver (and gnome-screensaver-preferences) crash upon displaying Vlechtwerk screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 185896] Re: gnome-screensaver (and gnome-screensaver-preferences) crash upon displaying Vlechtwerk screensaver
Sadly no .Crash file is created, it seems more that the screensaver
hangs.
To provide some more information, I ran gnome-screensaver-preferences
(displaying the crashing screensaver) in strace, the log is included.
Detailled steps of what I did in this strace:
* Launch gnome-screensaver-preferences
* gnome-screensaver-preferences displays the crashing screensaver
(Vlechtwerk), as this is the current active screensaver
* The system hangs
* I press CONTROL-ALT-BACKSPACE
* The X server reboots 10 seconds after I have pressed the key combination
However, as the strace log looks normal and the application did not crash, I
ran gnome-screensaver-preferences through strace, but monitoring the strace my
self. That way I was able to spot where the application hangs:
*read(3, 0x8069fcc, 4096)= -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
*read(3, 0x8069fcc, 4096)= -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
*gettimeofday({1203409986, 844239}, NULL) = 0
*poll(
at that point gnome-screensaver-preferences hangs for about 10 seconds,
sometimes it proceedes a bit (to hang at a next similar occurence), sometimes
it hangs forever at that piece of code.
If I can provide more information, please say so.
