gaim problems in 2.6.0
Hi!
I'm having bad problems with gaim... When I run gaim, my machine tends to freeze hard (no blinking leds). I'm running vesafb -> that should rule out X problems. Machine is rather strange pre-production athlon64 noteook, but I'm running 32-bit (on 32-bit kernel), and I can run gaim under 2.4.X kernel.
[Ugh, I was running with kgdb, but I recall same problem before, too.]
Does anyone have similar problem?

I'm running gaim .74 on 2.6.0, with
Driver "ati"
BoardName "Rage 128 Mobility LF"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "AGPMode" "2".
No problems here.
(Linux andromeda 2.6.0 #70 Fri Jan 2 17:29:30 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux, Dell Insp 4k).

Are you using debian(IIRC, you are, but maybe not on this machine?)?
Are you using the old version in debian stable? Id suggest upgrading to the new version available in testing, or possibly unstable (probably only problems compiling on non-i386 arches).
The debian package maintainer doesn't like the version in stable at all, but policy dictates that only security fixes and such go in the stable series...
Version Table:
1:0.72-1 0
711 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
1:0.64-3 0
722 http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages

Yep, this is debian testing machiene, and it looks up-to-date (with respect to testing):
root@amd:~# apt-get install gaim Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Sorry, gaim is already the newest version.
Anyway... I was running as normal user. I should not be able to crash machine no matter what software I run. (And vesafb pretty much points to kernel fault).

Hi Pavel,
I'm running 2.6.0 with gaim on Debian/unstable and it is fine.
Gaim is (debian) version 1:0.72-1, running on a dual Athlon MP.
I have reported one oops recently (search back in lkml for it) but it doesn't seem repeatable.

Hi,
every since I started using 2.6; currently running 2.6.1-rc1 gaim fails to start, all it does it dump core. I haven't spend time on looking where though.

# uname -r 2.6.1-rc1
# ps aux|grep gaim david 12511 0.1 2.7 28392 14124 ? S Jan03 1:14 gaim
# gaim --version Gaim 0.74
Not saying gaim is perfect... but it's at least running here. Notwithstanding the frequent quirks of preferences randomly changing on you..

It's not a so similiar problem or is it.
I also have problems with gnome and freezing when using 2.6.0.
With my old 2.4.20 kernel all is ok. My problems starts with 2.6.0 installation, which I needed for some hardware support. The new kernel works well in console. Have no errors in dmesg, not even in syslog. If I setup a nework device and then also define a default route to my gateway gnome seems to freeze with it's first network access.
If I start net and then gnome, gnome needs to start over 20-30minutes and still did not come up totally. If I setup network in a xterm in gnome then gnome freezes after a short while, e.g. when starting mozilla. It is no hard freeze, it looks like gnome is running on a 1 Mhz PC or as if it has time lack of several minutes.
But it's only in grapical gnome. In a console I can surf with lynx.
First I thougth it could be a gnome problem, but problems only come when booting with 2.6.0

Seems like different issue, my machine is frozen, it does not ping etc.

Do you have CONFIG_PREEMPT turned on? I've noticed that it seems to kill the stability of my PPC box when running X. Maybe there's a common bug lurking somewhere.
