crash occurs after closing gparted (v0.4.3), which was installed via 'sudo apt-get install gparted' and opened via command line 'sudo gparted'. Running Jaunty in live mode via USB; gparted didn't seem to be an issue running it when jaunty was installed and run from the internal flash.

Running on an eeePC 901 w/ 2G ram, otherwise stock.

Crash on the reboot !!!!!
i dont know why ; soory

Acer Aspire One (UNR) : Crash when I click on the Closed (exit) icone.
Thanks.

Upon closing of application (in this case Kazehakase)

Confirming. I have this problem too.

I have UNR installed on a Dell Mini 9, and I have gotten this crash a few times now. The crash seems to occur when I'm closing a program.

Any program, or only certain ones? I'm running on 0.4.8-0ubuntu2 but I haven't been able to reproduce it so far. Could you update and retry?

issue happened but ransparent in behaviour, I just got the report notification while I closed a Firefox tab.
I am using an eeePC 701 SD with an update from 8.10 to 9.04 beta, then netook remix installation 2 days ago.

No programs. Appears to happen in the background, just get bug notice
screen appear and things appear to carry on working.

If I remember correctly, my crashes have occurred on launch of Firefox. I can't say for sure because I just don't remember. I tried to reproduce but could not. I just ran updates last night and noticed there was a netbook remix update in the list. We'll see if that helps.

By the way, using a Dell mini 9 running Jaunty Beta UNR...

I just had maximus segfault again, this time upon closing gparted. I has started gparted from the command line and formatted an sdhc card. Apport popped up immediately after closing gparted. As reported above, everything seems to be functioning as it was before the crash. Maximus is fully updated.

Happened while closing firefox. Others programs open at the time, f-spot,file browser, amsn and evolution. All continued to work as expected.

its seems this happens when multiple tabs/applications are opened simultaneously. same thing happenned to me... firefox and pidgin.. carash happened just after closing firefox.

same as "mz" seems this happens when multiple applications are opened simultaneously. same thing happenned to me... firefox and pidgin.. crash happened just after closing firefox.

update on my comment: when multiple tabs/software are opened...crash occurs when closing the opened apps.. there are are no specific sequence to repeat the crash based on what I observed. In this occurrence, crash happened after closing evolution.

Finally been able to reproduce this using gparted. Seems like memory corruption in wnck/maximus causes this.

Have you come across this only when also running programs of higher-priority (i.e. synaptic/gparted need your sudo password?) I can't repoduce this with user-level-privilege windows, only when I play around with root-level-privilege windows.

As Jaunty is in RC freeze at the moment, I would appreciate some testing on the fixes I've made to Maximus.

I've attached an updated package which you can download and install with:

sudo dpkg -i maximus_0.4.8-1_i386.deb

and then please restart maximus (just do `killall maximus`, or logout/login).

I have been unable to reproduce the bug with this package, I hope it's the same for you. Thanks!

Hi Neil,

your right:) I recall opening the update manager, pidgin, firefox, system monitor and evolution; and then closing pidgin, firefox, evolution, and the update manager when the crash report popped-up. I will try the package update and let you know waht happens.

I just encountered this error on the latest Karmic Netbook Remix.
