Some applications crash system monitor

[Hung Tran]

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

While searchmonkey or nicotine application is running, I can't open gnome-system-monitor. This is message in terminal:

** (gnome-system-monitor:31963): WARNING **: SELinux was found but is not enabled.
** (gnome-system-monitor:31963): WARNING **: Failed to load icon for APPNAME(PID) : Error opening file: No such file or directory

Same issue here but on architecture: amd64

gnome-system-monitor crash when opening if searchmonkey is already running, or it crash when searchmonkey is opened.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

[Dom Ostrowski (dom-gglz)]

Yup - still a bug - exactly as the OP describes. Continues to be a problem on 11.04/Natty for System Monitor 2.28.2 and searchmonkey 0.8.1

If System monitor is running, it exits if searchmonkey is started.

If searchmonkey is running, System Monitor starts and immediately exits.

[Expired for gnome-system-monitor (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

It doesn't only affect Searchmonkey. I have the same problem when Nicotine+ is open. If you try to open the gnome-system-monitor it crashes immediately. I attached a stack trace for this.

Ubuntu 11.10
Nicotine+ 1.2.16
gnome-system-monitor 3.2.1-0ubuntu1

Gnome-system-monitor fails to open by clicking on its icon on taskbar.

Oneiric i386 output:

oem@dub:~$ gnome-system-monitor
**
ERROR:proctable.cpp:134:void proctable_set_columns_order(GtkTreeView*, GSList*): assertion failed: (id >= 0 && id < NUM_COLUMNS)
Abandon
oem@dub:~$ sudo gnome-system-monitor
[sudo] password for oem:

** (gnome-system-monitor:3761): WARNING **: SELinux was found but is not enabled.

So would like this fix backported to Oneiric too.

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Thanks, but unfortunately backports isn't really the path for bug fixes. This issue should be fixed in 11.10 by way of a Stable Release Update (SRU) instead.

I have this output:

$ gnome-system-monitor
**
ERROR:proctable.cpp:134:void proctable_set_columns_order(GtkTreeView*, GSList*): assertion failed: (id >= 0 && id < NUM_COLUMNS)

When issuing sudo gnome-system-monitor, it works ok.

Linux 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

[David Pérez (sanete)]

In my case, it crashes even when Thunderbird isn't running.

[David Pérez (sanete)]

I don't understand why it doesn't crash in another PC, that has installed the same version of Ubuntu, with nearly the same apps installed.
