gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in g_str_hash()

Crashes right after login

Same with maverick.

definitely an annoying problem in natty, not sure what extra information i can provide/devs need

Disableing UbuntuOne client from Startup solves the issue. Reverting to previous UbuntuOne client version also solves issue

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.

the crash there should be fixed in natty, comment #8 seems a different bug and should be opened against ubuntuoneclient-gnome

If this bug has already been reported is there a different report that this one should be marked duplicate of?
I'd like to subscribe to the real report to track the fix for maverick and to update my landscape support case to point the actual report.

Thanks!

it has likely been fixed in that upload

libappindicator (0.3.0-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    * Don't use GIcon with GtkStatusIcon (LP: #708118) (LP: #729150)

though several crashers got fixed in natty which leaded to different stacktrace so it's not trivial to match one crash to the fix which adressed it

there was bug #708188 as well

Thanks for the pointers. Yet I can confirm that installing:
sudo aptitude install libappindicator1/maverick-proposed python-appindicator/maverick-proposed
(and rebooting)
does /not/ solve the issue:
ayers@schiefer:~$ apt-cache policy libappindicator1
libappindicator1:
  Installiert: 0.2.9-0ubuntu1.1
  Kandidat: 0.2.9-0ubuntu1.1
  Versionstabelle:

     0.2.9-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages

and since bug #708188 also point to libappindicator and this is actually associated with gnome-session-daemon, I hope you don't mind me changing the status to confirmed.

I'd rather not give feedback to the libappinidicator reports since those are not the crashes I'm seeing. My crash is 100% reproducible and always effects gnome-settings-daemon.

Of course I'd be happy to test other packages if there is reason to believe that are related.

David is your bug one of the duplicate? it would help having a new crash description, note that the issue is not supposed to be fixed in 10.10 with the current updates, what desktop environment do you use?

Hello Sebastien, I was subscribed to this bug after ubuntu-bug (or apport?) pointed me to this issue due to my crash report in:
/var/crash/_usr_lib_gnome-settings-daemon_gnome-settings-daemon.1000.crash

Yes, I'm using 10.10 (maverick) and I'm using default GNOME with the default Ambient them yet smaller fonts than the default. Note that the original report was for 10.4 LTS (lucid), so a fix in natty probably won't help most affected people.

Please let me know if I should open new report.

so it's happening at any login for you? opening a new bug from a recent .crash with the .xsession-errors from the cycle would be useful, the other issues were mostly happening when indicator-applet is not configured which seems to not be your case if you use the standard configuration, they also don't happen at login so it could be a different bug

Disabled Ubuntu one service solve the problem for me.

Yes, this happens on every login.

OK, I have opened bug #746566 (I haven't set it to public yet since I'm not sure what all I should delete before doing so). Also if you have access to landscape cases, you can find a similar crash report in case #00016589 and I suppose you should have access to all the configuration of the system via landscape. If not let me know what you need.

Thanks!

Thanks David for opening a new bug, your issue is an ubuntuone crash, the trigger seems to be your account being over quota there

It has not been noted here yet I think, but when this bug occurs my theme is set to a Windows 95-ish Gnome standard theme, including the icons. Thus for me it is bye-bye Ambiance right now.

Hello Ingo, if you open System->Settings->Appearance then you ambiance theme will be restored for most applications (notable exception is Nautilus). ... at least until the next ubuntuone sync that trips your quota occurs.

I have extended my Ubuntuone subscription by 20 GB but the crash still happens. So this seems unrelated to tripping the quota.

Interesting! Thanks for letting me know of the workaround. Indeed I have reached the 2/2GB limit of my Ubuntu One account.

I would like to ask how this bug can only have such a low priority. This particular one has been around for a year now and nobody is assigned to it, although it completely breaks the end-user experience.

Hello Ingo,

I think the issue is that this particular bug is about theming:

StacktraceTop:
 g_str_hash () from /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
 g_hash_table_lookup () from /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
 theme_dir_get_icon_suffix (
 choose_icon (icon_theme=<value optimized out>,
 ensure_pixbuf_for_gicon (image=0xe0f8b0)

but our bug about Ubuntuone... it's just that apport is not smart enough to tell the difference. Please have a look at bug #744383 which has the trace that I have:

StacktraceTop:
 g_str_hash (v=0x0) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.26.1/glib/gstring.c:134
 g_hash_table_lookup (hash_table=0x95a44c0, key=0x0)
 quota_exceeded_callback (daemon=0x95bb7b0,
 g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__POINTER (closure=0x967beb8,
 g_closure_invoke (closure=0x967beb8, return_value=0x0,

And that bug indeed has a high priority and is actively being worked on.

So think we were just lead to the wrong old report that has similar symptoms.

Here is my error report

could you try if the update https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-client/1.4.6-0ubuntu3 solve you issue?
