[Bug 511124] Re: gnome-shell crash all

[Andrew Clausen]

I have the same problem.  As far as I can tell, when I start gnome-
shell, it shuts down gnome-panel normally, and then my X server crashes.
My guess is that gnome-shell is using some X features that were
previously unused on my computer, and that I have a buggy X server.  Is
there a good way to test this hypothesis?


Details:

I typed:

gnome-shell --replace 2>&1 > gnome-shell.log

The X server crashes before anything is written to gnome-shell.log.  In my .xsession-errors file, two things happen:
(1) the gnome-panel shuts down with this message:

Panel leaving: a new panel shell is starting.

along with lots of noisy gnome-panel messages like:

(gnome-panel:22004): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_show: assertion
`GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

(2) all other programs give the following message:

Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]
