gnome-system-monitor crashes at startup

Setting the package to gnome-system-monitor assuming fai was not intended. Please feel free to set it back if it was.

Re-installed SElinux and fixed the SElinux error but still receive an error during gnome-system-monitor startup:

Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 1: XML declaration not well-formed

** ERROR **: Child 6093 failed with status 256
aborting...
Aborted

Have not been able to find a reference to Child 6093 with status 256

I have the same error messages but I get no crash. So it is possible the error messages are not related to the crash.

Would you please install the apport-gtk package if you have not done so already? Then, if you make the crash happen again, you get a window to automatically create a second bug. It attaches all kinds of extra information about your system. There is more info about it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport. The new bug is easier for the developers to see what is wrong.

If you find the new bug number, you can post it here, so we know it is the same thing. Thanks.

Setting status to incomplete to indicate an apport report is asked for.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instuctions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Interesting that apport causes a crash as well I will attach the report for both system monitor and apport. The first one is for system monitor.

This is the report for the apport crash.

Re-opening, as apport itself crashed, so no new bug will be filed automatically. I'm sorry about that. Would you please file a separate bug about apport crashing?

@Matt: are you still having the issue? If so: please try double clicking the apport crash for gnome-system-monitor.

No the error in no longer occurring.
