Hang your system with firewall-config

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a fully updated F18 system.  I've reproduced this in both a Vbox VM as well as actual system.

You can hang your KDE session by doing the following....

1.  Start firewall-config as a normal user.
2.  Enter the password as prompted.
3.  Do *nothing* with firewall-config for about 4 minutes (I don't know the polkit timeout).
4.  Toggle the "Current View" from Runtime to Persistent.
5.  Your session is hung.

The cursor moves but you can't enter the password and you can't raise any windows or access the menus. 

You can ssh into the system and kill the firewall-config process to regain your system.
