Could someone still seeing this bug please reboot, confirm you
get the crash and then attach your ~/.xsession-errors file to the bug.

Thanks,

This problem appears to be caused by /dev/shm having the wrong permissions (which is also causing me a number of other problems). Running

$ sudo chmod 1777 /dev/shm

and logging out and back in fixes the problem (until the next reboot).

I am not sure why /dev/shm has the wrong permissions - /etc/init.d/mountdevsub.sh calls

domount tmpfs shmfs /dev/shm tmpfs -onosuid,nodev$SHM_OPT

This doesn't specify mode=1777, so I am not sure where this mode should be getting set (although other users confirm they do see the correct 1777 mode).

I believe the vast majority of these instances are fixed by

devicekit-disks (006-0ubuntu4) karmic; urgency=low

  * Add devicekit-disks.postinst: Kill the old devkit-disks-daemon, to ensure
    that the new version will be used at the next occasion. (LP: #403192)

dtaylor84, this indeed looks like a different problem, my /dev/shm is correct here. Can you please file this as a bug against sysvinit?

I have:
  devicekit-disks 006-0ubuntu4

and the all the patches until *now* and I still have the problem after a restart.

The crash file also contains ' devicekit-disks 006-0ubuntu4', just to be sure. (I was sent to this page by apport).

As a result (I think) I keep on getting respawning nautilus icons in the task bar - unsure if it is related, so I'm not yet putting up my .xsession-errors file.

Hi,

I'm pretty sure I just fixed this with the upload of dbus 1.2.16-0ubuntu8.

If you install the fixed version and get the error after a reboot then please
re-open, but then I'll be *really* stumped.

Thanks,

James

Getting this on ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 alpha2 kernel 2.6.32-11.
Both my devicekit-disks and my dbus are more recent than the ones metioned as fixes.

devicekit-disks: 009-1ubuntu3
dbus 1.2.16-2ubuntu2

apport automatically directed me to thus side.

like post 29 above says, how can we report new regression on something that already have had this problem and was fixed, but rebirthed now ?

" This problem was already reported in the bug report displayed in the web browser. Please check if you can add any further information that might be helpful for the developers. " (apport dialog box comments)

So, if devs want to know about new bugs, maybe they might unlocked the door.

Please don't attach crash files to public bug reports, as they might contain private information that you don't really want other people to see. Crash reports should be submitted in the usual manner via Apport, which will open a private bug report and get handled by the retracer. I've deleted your crash file, as there's no need to submit any more information here.
