Hello, thanks for the bug report.

Seems we need more info.
Can you install gnome-system-monitor-debug and use gdb ?

no debug

I don't found this package ...
i don't understand why urpmi don't run :/

@ Arnaud

Which media did you configure in MCC, until now? 

Please enable the debug repositories of the media you use. After that, you can easily install the debug package(s) you need

From bugs 3471, 3474 and 1510 I understand you installed Mageia-2-alpha1-LiveCD-GNOME-Europe1-Americas-i586-CD on Virtualbox MGA1

No problem ;)

please do the following:
1) enable the "core release debug"
2) install the following packages: gdb gnome-system-monitor-debug
3) run the following command from a terminal:
   gdb -q gnome-system-monitor-debug
4) then type "run"
5) when it segfaults, type "bt" and copy back the stack trace in a file you'll

(if you see: "Missing debug package(s), you should install:  ...." you should install all rpms. )

Ok, type bt in the console, and then try to crash gnome-monitor.

"in user it is open the big windows and "Etat du système" is empty
i have only that in terminal"

another bug, or upstream one maybe, keep the first for now :)

sorry i don't understand ?

i write now "bt" ? because it is do nothing ? what time i write ?

@ Arnaud

I understand gdb and gnome-system-monitor-debug are already installed

Maybe helping with the next steps works better in French. Can you please go to the French forum and ask for help with:

1) run the following command from a terminal:
   gdb -q gnome-system-monitor
2) then type "run"
3) when it segfaults, type "bt" and copy back the stack trace in a file you'll
attach (not paste) to this bug report

but if you see: "Missing debug package(s), you should install:  ...." you should install all those rpms and start again

The French forum is here:

At comment 0 you said that the windows crash.

bt is like, backtrace, when you type that, (and if you have a crash), gdb will show a lot's a lines useful for the packagers/devs.

okay,

I open topic : http://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/topic-11662.php

thank you i wait help in french forum ;)

maybe I'am wrong and it's not gnome-monitor that crash :/

may be...but gnome crash when i open the monitor...

(In reply to comment #15)
> maybe I'am wrong and it's not gnome-monitor that crash :/

What other possibilities are there?
I saw no one replied in the French forum, yet. (Je ne parle pas assez français, Arnaud, je regrette)

I don't use gnome, but I guess to make sure it is (or it is not) gnome-system-monitor that crashes, it is sufficient to ask Arnaud to start gnome-system-monitor from the terminal, do the same in the monitor-screen that caused the crash before and watch the output in the terminal, isn't it?

@ Arnaud

Can you do this and give the output of the terminal?

@ Olav

You're ideas are welcome :)

GNOME3 is totally broken for now

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3472

Now it is run perfect after all updates (with testing activates)
