Same error on Xubuntu 15.04 at boot of the system.
I have Xubuntu correctly installed on my hard drive, i'm not using it from Live-USB like the user above

Till, why do you think it's a glib issue?

Seb, for me it looks like a problem of glib2 because of the following:

1. In the traceback it does not go throgh the code which I have recently changed.
2. The crash happens only in Ubuntu Vivid, not in Utopic and not in Fedora. Vivid has another (newer) version of glib2 than Fedora.
3. It is less probably Avahi as Fedora and Vivid have the same upstream version of Avahi.

For me it is difficult to investigate the crash by myself as it never happened for me.

The tracebacks are missing the symbols of Avahi if the code execution path goes through Avahi.

To everyone who observed this crash: Are you able to reproduce the crash? If so, can you try to downgrade cups-browsed and/or libglib2.0-0 to older versions and see with which versions the crash goes away?

Till,

the crash happened when I booted from USB to see if Vivid works on my machine. The USB stick has since been repurposed, but if it helps I can try to recreate it and see if the problem can be reproduced. Which image should I use - the one I originally had the problem with or the current daily?

The same bug happened in my installed version. It's quite hard to reproduce for me because it happens randomly when I boot the PC. Which log should I save when it happens?

If you are able ny repeatedly rebooting your machine to get a sufficient number of crashes, please try the following changes (alway one at a time) to see whether the crashes go away:

1. Modify /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf, changing the line

BrowseRemoteProtocols dnssd cups

BrowseRemoteProtocols dnssd

If this does not improve the situation, try

BrowseRemoteProtocols cups

2. Downgrade to an older version of cups-filters

3. Downgrade to an older version of libglib2.0-0

4. Temporarily make shared print queues on remote machines not being shared.

5. Turn off network printers (printers connected by Ethernet or WiFi, independent whether you have a local print queue for them or not.

Do one or more of these measures eliminate the crashing?

This bug was fixed in the package cups-filters - 1.0.67-0ubuntu2

---------------
cups-filters (1.0.67-0ubuntu2) vivid; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/cups-browsed-fix-numeric-ids-of-gsources.patch:
    cups-browsed: Numeric IDs for GSources of the glib event
    loop must be positive integers greater than zero according
    to the documentation of the g_source_get_id() function.
    Taken care of this at all places.
    Hopefully it fixes the recent crashes of cups-browsed: LP: #1435287,
