Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
1. Ubuntu release: 10.10 on i386 architecture (but happened also on 10.04)
2. gnome-panel version: 1:2.30.2-1ubuntu3
3. I would expect the clock applet running without crashing, even behind a
firewall.
4. When located behind a firewall, the bug is 100% reproductible by following
this simple procedure:
- add a clock applet on a gnome-panel
- add a city in its configuration (Click on the date/time --> Locations -->
Edit --> Add --> chose any location --> OK).
- when clicking on OK, the applet always crashes immediately and I get an error
message "Clock has quit unexpectedly ... and 2 buttons "Don't Reload" and
"Reload".
- if I click "Reload", the applet reloads OK but crashes again exactly 52
seconds later (very reproductible)
- this cycle of reloads and crashes after 52 seconds can be repeated for a long
time; the applet never runs for more then 52 seconds before crashing.
BUT: I have the possibility to connect the machine directy to the Internet for
test purposes (bypassing the firewall).
If I do so, without changing anything else, the clock applet never crashes.
It looks like the clock applet can't retrieve data when the machine is
behind the proxy and crashes in this situation.
I will enclose the relevant lines found in /var/log/messages; they all show a
segfault.
The first line was when I added my locality and the other ones after clicking
the "Reload" button and waiting 52 seconds.
