Binary package hint: gnome-panel
The gnome-panel freezes when I try to logout/reboot/shutdown by selected either System->Quit... or by clicking the "Quit" panel applet. I have used several different Dapper installs in the past with no problems, however, with my current install this freeze occurs every time I try to quit the gnome session. I simply run 'killall gnome-panel' from the command line to allow gnome to restart the panel and everything behaves normally except when again trying to quit. I tried reinstalling dapper completely without saving any files from the / or /home partitions just to be sure it wasn't a corrupted conf file or something like that. I tried removing everything from the panel but still experienced the hang. I made a backtrace and a strace but unfortunately don't think they will be very useful. I'm running the most up-to-date standard dapper install on an x86. The only non dapper software installed is gaim 2.0.0beta3, firefox 1.5.0.6 (mozilla build), gnucash 2.0.1, and azureus 2.4.0.2. Please let me know if there is any other information/debugging procedures you need from me. Thanks so much.
Thanks for your bug report. Can you check if the 'lo' interface is configured and for the date that is set? Are there any processes like applets pulling 100% CPU or something else ominous?
