Subject: gnome-panel: Panel empty on startup

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I just updated on Friday before leaving work for the weekend. Logged in
this morning and my panel appeared on the bottom of the screen as
before, but the entire panel was empty. Right-clicking on the panel
popped up the "Add panel" ... menu, so gnome-panel was running. The
applets processes also showed up in a process list.

After launching a terminal, I killed gnome-panel with
% killall gnome-panel

The panel immediately relaunched with all my settings back to normal.

This is repeatable for every log in.

This version of the panel is in the archive and in testing since a while
without such major problem. As it is usuable for almost everybody, it
cannot be a RC bug.

Never heard of such problems before. I really don't know neither what
could lead to this result, nor which extra tests to try. I'm gonna ask
for help to more experimented GNOME Team members, hold on.

I have been experiencing exactly the same problem since about a couple
of week. I think this started after I upgraded some apparently unrelated
package (I do not know which ones, sorry).
Please let me know what I can to to help debugging this.
I see this in ~/.xsession-errors, but I don't know if it's related:

Marc and Coin:

I found another "fix" for this bug. I don't like using
nautilus, so I had saved my session with nautilus removed.

Today I ran nautilus from a command prompt, and it fixed the
background problem which was staying gray (another bug,
Bug#293636: gnome: desktop background resets to gray). I saved
my session and logged out. When I logged back in, nautilus
loaded and my panel appeared right away. I would assume this
means there is a sensitivity in gnome-panel that relies on
nautilus already running. I can do more testing if you would
like. Let me know how I can help.

I confirm that I can fix #298452 by moving the panel to a side and then
back.

The gnome-panel:6335 warnings I reported earlier were unrelated, I fixed
them by cleaning up some stale entries in the gconf tree.

Gustavo:

The bug is only revealed when Nautilus is not invoked on startup
of Gnome. I am not sure if Nautilus is required in the Gnome
desktop, but I had to disable it a few years back (processor
hog) and when I updated to Gnome 2.10, I started to have all
these problems controlling the background and panel icons
showing up. I enabled Nautilus again, and now I don't have the
problems anymore.

I cannot reproduce it here still. Can you still reproduce it if you
disable nautilus?

If so, would you mind to do it and send me a copy of your gconf and
gnome configuration so I can try them here? If you don't include
anything from .gnome2_private you should be on the safe side.

I'd like to be sure the bug does not exist or investigate it if it does.

Thanks,

Hi Gustavo:

I cannot reproduce this under Gnome 2.8.3 with gnome-panel
2.8.3-1 even with Nautilus disabled.

I indicated the wrong version in my previous email. I had
assumed Sarge was using Gnome 2.10. By the way, aptitude shows
that I am using Gnome version 64. To what version of Gnome does
version 64 map? 2.8.3? Is there an easy way to determine this
mapping?

Hi Gustavo:

I cannot reproduce this under Gnome 2.8.3 with gnome-panel
2.8.3-1 even with Nautilus disabled.

I indicated the wrong version in my previous email. I had
assumed Sarge was using Gnome 2.10. By the way, aptitude shows
that I am using Gnome version 64. To what version of Gnome does
version 64 map? 2.8.3? Is there an easy way to determine this
mapping?

There's no easy way to map. You need to check the version of each
component installed in your system, usually. The 'gnome' package is
simply a way to depend on all the gnome components, and there're no
guarantees about it bringing a specific version.

See ya,

Download full text (3.6 KiB)

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.8.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #298452

Hi, same problem on two machines running Sarge. gnome-panel 2.8.3-1

Using Sawfish WM, had disabled Nautilus on both systems, have it back
on in one of them, but still the same error. After reading this report
I'll try moving the nautilus startup before gnome-panel and see if that
helps. My "fix" has been to right-click on the panel, go to background,
select "none" then reselect "solid color" and the icons come back. The
partial width panel is the correct size and auto-hides ok, and there are
some grey background bits (behind where logout icon would be e.g.
Will try dragging the panel to the other side of the screen and back for
a quicker fix. The non-autohiding bar along the bottom is fine, problem
is with a second panel.

thanks,
Hamish
