hi, hereby sending a draft for a gnome 2.16.2 showstopper review. please post any comments or improvements within the next 24 hours - silence means compliance. for further information or comments on the process itself, please feel free to edit http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/ShowstopperReviews . thanks! (i have excluded two gnome-system-tools gnome 2.18.x blockers, we should get them in later in the release cycle.) cheers, andre ---draft--- Subject: GNOME 2.16.2 Showstopper Review To: d-d-l, r-t =============================== in a perfect world, we would have unlimited ressources (oil, money, developers, bugtriagers), we would not need marketing (because everybody just knows that GNOME is the best desktop in the world), there wouldn't be bugs, and even if, every developer would have enough time to fix those bugs and to read bugzilla mail on a daily basis. this isn't a perfect world, so it's time to reanimate showstopper reviews. developers, please do take a look at this list. feel free to not only take a look at your product - perhaps you also have fresh ideas where other developers are stuck. i fully understand that with limited human ressources, one cannot always keep track of everything. we want to help you a bit, any feedback is welcome. we also would like volunteers to write up future reports, please take a look at http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/ShowstopperReviews if interested. let's make gnome an even better gnome for everyone. ================================================ CONTROL-CENTER ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133815 => Keys refuse to "unbind", one has to log out and back in again to get the letter back to a working state. Patch available. Sebastien has told me that currently nobody takes a look at the keyboard stuff. Perhaps Sergey can take a look at this? http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356435 => Crash in the font vfs method 30 dups in 30 days. in comment 33, alex states that the crash is in if (font_names) g_strfreev(font_names); and that it seems that font_faces is not created as a NULL terminated array. ================================================ DESKBAR-APPLET ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359251 => qstring, match_obj = match TypeError: unpack non-sequence 29 dups in 30 days. in comment 40, raphael stated that this is caused by the history (because clearing history seems to fix this crash), and that it returns None for some reasons. ================================================ EOG ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320206 => Crash when canceling slide show 45 dups total. lucas: "probably not solvable with the current job management design". claudio: "caused by the jobs code that is pretty broken; already fixed in the 'eog-ng' branch. This branch is work in progress and needs more work in order to be merged to HEAD. It will hardly depend on the help we get with it." ================================================ EPIPHANY ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351814 => crash while deleting more than 1 bookmark in bookmark-editor 45 dups total. stacktrace with symbols and line numbers available. diego took a look at this (comment 25), but is stuck here. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353503 => crash after theme change [ gtk_style_realize] [ gtk_style_ref] 41 dups total. stacktrace with symbols and line numbers available. chpe hasn't been able to find the cause (or even to reproduce this); according to comment 60 this could be a bugzilla upstream problem. ================================================ EVOLUTION ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270751 => Handle task: and date: uris from command line this issue blocks double-clicking on the panel clock to open the calendar with the date or the task clicked. having this fixed would greatly improve desktop integration. chenthill is currently reviewing the latest patch provided by nickolay. ================================================ GNOME-TERMINAL ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348979 => crash in Terminal. 36 dups in 30 days. probably needs a better stacktrace, not much info available. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353498 => crash in Terminal: changing icon theme 53 dups in 30 days. again, not much info available. perhaps the stacktrace of bug 359614 with symbols and line numbers is a duplicate and could be helpful to get this fixed. ================================================ GNOME-VFS ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325988 => text files listed as application/octet-stream on non local system this was targetted to GNOME 2.14.x. Christian, does anybody take a look at this issue? Gicmo has added an excerpt of the SFTP spec to that bug report that could perhaps be adapted. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359655 => crash in Ekiga when closing the application 91 dups in 30 days. not entirely sure if this is a gnome-vfs or ekiga problem. damien, snark, alex are working on this, but it's apparently hard to nail down. sebastien could also reproduce the problem but couldn't yet give more info. ================================================ GSTREAMER ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336370 => crash on assertion in gst_asf_demux_get_var_length 33 dups in 30 days. stacktrace with symbols and line numbers available. xavier provided some testcases in comment 35. ================================================ GTK+ ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349697 => crash on Open Folder 225 dups in 30 days. hard to reproduce according to the comments, mostly happens after upgrading the distribution. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352265 => crash on Trash 96 dups in 30 days. some people also reported that this happens when switching themes. comment 92 provides a stacktrace with symbols and line numbers. comment 125 states that removing the package gtk2-engines-gtk-qt, gnome works, while gnome crashes when reinstalling it. ================================================ NAUTILUS ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356672 => crash in Computer: I unmounted a DVD 150 dups in 30 days. hopefully already fixed by alex (see comment #113). ================================================ PANGO ================================================ http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360691 => crash in Nautilus CD/DVD Creator 29 dups in 30 days. pango crashes in nautilus, perhaps an upstream pango bug (see comment #23 by behdad). ================================================ thanks, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de
