Description Marcin Mielniczuk (reporter) 2011-10-13 20:30:38 UTC
SOFTWARE VERSION: 

latest CSSU 20.2010.36-2maemo16.8

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 

1. Installed CSSU
2. Used for such a long time
3. (This time surfing with MicroB and listening to music)

EXPECTED OUTCOME: 

Everything allright

ACTUAL OUTCOME: 

Hildon panel (on the top) gets loaded several times. All widgets are painted on
one desktop one above another. The panel dissappears.
transitions.ini got corrupt and I needed to restore it via terminal

REPRODUCIBILITY: less than 1/10

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: speedpatch, dynamic cpu tweak 

OTHER COMMENTS:
It should be examined so that transitions.ini won't get corrupt by itself

We never write to transitions.ini manually, the only way it could get corrupt
is due to filesystem corruption, this would usually happen because of
overclocking (unsafe shutdowns might cause that too but afaik UBIFS and oneNAND
try to prevent that - I'm no engineer so I might be wrong).

Regardless, this isn't caused by the CSSU itself.

P.S. please don't move bugs to the wiki, there's a bug tracker for a reason.

I suspect that's a speedpatch-related problem: without it I've got no problems. 
But I've got a nearly fresh system, so if something happens, I'll report it.
To the people experiencing this problem: are you using speedpatch?
