Description Tony Blackwell 2017-07-17 12:30:47 CEST

Description of problem:
use MCC from xfce and install some program, instead of just opening the small popup windows showing the progress bar, it flashes a black empty window before later populating it with the progress bar.

Visually disturbing with the progress bar window flashing this momentary black box before loading the progress bar for each program being installed.

Problem appeared just with this final release I think. 

Its a trivial cosmetic issue, but quite visually disturbing to have the black box repeatedly flashing on an otherwise-bright screen.

Thanks for your report.

Can you try whether this works better in another desktop environment than XFCE? 

Does it work better in XFCE if you start this MCC tool, rpmdrake, by typing "rpmdrake" in a terminal?

Which theme do you use? You can see that by starting "drakbug" in a terminal. The drakbug screen will tell you, but please exit drakbug then (instead of filing another bug report ;-) ) http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/6/en/content/drakbug.html

Please _attach_ lspci.txt that is the result of running, in a terminal:

   lspcidrake -v > lspci.txt

and do also attach

   /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and, after you saw this bug again, journal.txt that is the result of running, as root:

   journalctl -ab > journal.txt

Thanks.

Assigning to the mageiatools maintainers and CC'ing the XFCE maintainer.

Comment 2 Charles Edwards 2017-07-17 23:01:26 CEST

Just curious, was this install done with saved or a formatted /home?

The reason I ask is that xfce-4.1.2 is the 1st to be fully ported to GTK+3
and there could be the chance that retained settings in ~./config or ~./local 
could cause visual distortions, not seen before, to manifest.

re #2:
Good idea, but no, /home was within the previously unused partition.

re #1
Thanks for prompt response.  I'm chasing up a possible hardware issue with this system, so will delay momentarily while this progresses.

Haven't seen this recently, not in M7beta3.
Mark as resolved
