#718 lxpanel 0.8.0 Segmentation fault
I have been seeing regular crashes of lxpanel. Compiled lxpanel 0.8.0 this morning, crash is still present (first time was anywhere between 0.7.0 and now). When debugging the core file, the following appears:
Core was generated by `lxpanel --profile LXDE'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0 0x00000000004114aa in task_draw_label (tk=0x219d550) at launchtaskbar.c:1581
The lxsession log file shows:
** Message: app.vala:130: lxpanel exit with this type of exit: 139
** Message: app.vala:148: Exit not normal, try to reload
** Message: app.vala:76: Launching lxpanel
I am using Fedora 20 x86_64 (daily updates applied). It seems to be only happening when using lxpanel in combination with pidgin. When clicking on 'Buddy list' or a flashing pidgin conversation in the taskbar, lxpanel regularly crashes. This mornings core file is uploaded.
Usually the automatic reloading of the panel works, but not always.
If any more information is needed, please let me know.
Thank you very much for the report and for provided coredump file. Unfortunately, coredump itself is useless without executable and its libraries. I would be very glad if you can provide some extra debug information instead. Could you, please? What I need exactly is output of those commands in the gdb:
at the crash breakpoint. Thank you in advance.
I am a gdb newbie, so hopefuly this is what you need.
Thank you very much, it was a big help.
I hope this issue is fixed by latest commit into the GIT repository. It would be perfect if you could build it, test it and tell us if that change really fixed the problem, or there is something else yet. Thank you in advance.
Will do that right away and test for a day or two. Will let you now the results, thanks for the quick fix!
Have not seen any crashes for a few days now. So let's consider this bug fixed. Thanks again for solving this so quickly!
