Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Note that, at least for me, bamfdaemon was restarted by the system. Unity got confused, but it is mostly working (it believes incorrectly that I had a nautilus window open).

The crash happened when I tried to open the appearance in system settings.

This crash happened when I was browsing system settings on live desktop session, particulary when I was trying to open Display -settings.

The stack trace here is useless, as it shows an assertion failure without the assertion message. The assertion happened somewhere in glib, so we can't guess it. Does someone have a reliable way of reproducing the bamf crash? Then we could start bamf in a terminal and see what it says.

This crash happened opening system settings

this crash happened opening libreoffice writer!

I was doing several things to see what did and did not display. Launch icons were the most noticeably absent items. Changing to an ATI graphics card fixed the issue for me.

On a full installation of the 32bit version; when started installing an application (ardesia) with ubuntu software center

I believe this bug happened while chrome was loading flash/flash-content

For me, the bug occured, on closing the Y PPA Manager, using my actual Ubuntu 12.04.

The error occured after I closed LO Calc

Error occurred for me when I was in System Settings and clicked on Mouse and Touchpad but is not repeatable.

Using Precise Beta 1 from USB

Occurred while in System Setting, Details. Precise beta 1 32 bit running in VirtualBox, with updates. Not reproducible.

Ocorreu quando tentava atualizar pacotes de idiomas, após de instalar em máquina virtual.

Occurred for me when toggling open an attachment in thunderbird.

I had Firefox open to a static webpage, and was running System Monitor at the time. I went to System Settings, Removable Media, and then when I clicked on, "Never prompt or start programs on media insertion," I received this Problem message. Nothing happened, though - everything still seemed to be running and working like it should be.

Info: I'm running Precise beta 1 32-bit, with updates. I couldn't repeat the problem on the same session.

It happened when I opened LibreOffice from Chromium. (i.e.) I clicked on a doc file when brownsing a web page using Chromium.
Running Precise 12.04 fully updated today (05/march/2012)

This crash happened launching LibreOffice Calc from the Unity launcher in Ubuntu 12.04 beta 28-feb-2012 Precise Pangolin.

Today this crash in Ubuntu 12.04 32 bits with unity-2d with no applications opened

Had this twice in a row. Opened and closed LibreOffice Writer, had the crash, apport reported it. I re-opened LibreOffice Writer, closed it, crash, apport. After happening twice, it wouldn't do it any more.

While initially logging into Ubuntu One after setting a Keyring Password (Left click wasn't working in some applications prior to crash).

It happened on Unity 5.6 after update and restart, pressing Super key to bring up the dash.
