gnome-system-log crashes after trying to copy text

Thanks for your bug report. If you can reproduce please post the output of bug-buddy (the "Inform developers" dialog) here or try with the instructions on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace - I couldn't reproduce the bug.

Ok, I figured out how to reproduce it. Open up the log, and go to acpid. Now, lock the screen or something to force the file to update while it is open. Now try selecting several lines of the new input, then go edit -> copy.

The issue was reported upstream already: http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339710 - if you could install libc6-dbg, libgtk2.0-0-dbg, libglib2.0-0-dbg and try again, that'd probably help - which architecture are you on - with that information I could build a debug package of gnome-utils for you.

Ok, I'm on i386. I installed those debug libraries and reproduced the bug. The bug buddy output is attached.

Which version of gnome-utils do you use? (dpkg -l gnome-utils) - I'll build a dbg package of gnome-utils for this.

2.14.0-0ubuntu

This is in Dapper. I haven't tested it in Edgy.

Can you install http://people.ubuntu.com/~dholbach/debug/dapper/gnome-utils_2.14.0-0ubuntu5_i386.deb and get another backtrace?

Thanks for that, I followed up on the upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339710

the bug should be fixed in the 2.25 version which will be uploaded to jaunty

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-utils - 2.25.2-0ubuntu1
