Same problem here!

[lucifer663]

well i got frustrated and tried removing/ re installing gnome. but no improvement as expected.

[PiElle]

Maybe it's related to recent upgrades, because before I had no problems ...

[lucifer663]

as far as i remember it was working when i installed. then i tried to set system time but time settings was acting weird. i was trying to set a time and the clock was showing different time. after a few try i let it go and rebooted, since then control center stopped working

[PiElle]

@ lucifer663:
could it be related to this thread?
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showth...control+center
Do you run the proprietary Nvidia driver?
I have a Nvidia card running the 290.10 driver.
But, sincerely, I don't think this is the problem, because until some days ago (maybe yesterday) the control center was working properly ...

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

I found a temporary solution.
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showth...entation+fault
See post n. 10.
In this case is sufficient to edit:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 gnome-control-center
At least, in this way, I was able to modify the settings I needed ...
Waiting for a definitive solution to the problem ...
Maybe is related to Nvidia driver and glibc ...

[PiElle]

I run the last update of akmod-nvidia and kmod-nvidia.
Had a weird problem, because Fedora didn't start up any more (it began hanging on boot).
Solved this problem running: yum reinstall akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
And now not only the system load quicker than ever, but, moreover, the control center doesn't crash any more ...
So I can say that, for me, the problem is solved ...

[miles916]

ive encountered this problem a few times - mainly when trying to change my audio input device for a voip call - all of a sudden theres segfaults when trying to open gnome-control-center (and strangely enough - also with rhythmbox).

i had resolved it in the past by reinstalling the nvidia packages - but not this time. ill have to try PiElle's solution when i get home. i hope it works.

ill keep you posted

[leigh123linux]

Has anyone bothered to a bug report?
This thread has suggestions pointing to the nvidia driver as the culprit but have posted nothing to prove this theory.
There is no error output posted either.


I would try this first to fix the issue

su
prelink -ua

bugzilla.redhat is filled with reports of control-center crashes, many generated by abrt and
others submitted by people. Is there any way to tell whether any work is being done about
it?

[miles916]

hi leigh123linux,

well, i for myself followed the trail from this page (cant post the other urls due to post restrictions):

http://ask.fedoraproject.org/questio...entation-fault

most of them probably have nothing to do with my specific issue, i assume... but hey, if reinstalling the nvidia packages works (and it does partly at least, i can open gnome-control-center again, rhythmbox seems to be messed up somewhere else), ill take it

heres the output of

prelink -ua

(after reinstalling akmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686, tho):
