Bug Description

random crash

I believe this is due to thread-unsafe usage of libdbus, care of glib implicitly spawning a thread for gdbus. A call to dbus_threads_init_default() early in main should fix this.

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

outdated debug symbol package for libjack-jackd2-0: package version 1.9.8~dfsg.4+20120529git007cdc37-2ubuntu1 dbgsym version 1.9.8~dfsg.1-1ubuntu1
outdated debug symbol package for kbd: package version 1.15.3-9ubuntu1 dbgsym version 1.15.2-3ubuntu4
outdated debug symbol package for wpasupplicant: package version 1.0-2ubuntu5 dbgsym version 0.7.3-6ubuntu2
outdated debug symbol package for initscripts: package version 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu13 dbgsym version 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu11.1
outdated debug symbol package for usbutils: package version 1:005-3 dbgsym version 1:005-1

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!
