[apport] nm-applet crashed with SIGSEGV

Can you reproduce this issue? If so, how?

The stacktrace, as is, does not help much...

Hello,

I installed Kubuntu Feisty, which works very well. Then I installed
"ubuntu-desktop" and GNOME has never ever worked without crashing. I
even tried deleting the gtk2-engines-qt or something like that to see
if that was the problem, but nothing good came out of that.

The problem happens every time I login in GNOME.

Thanks!

Mariano

Thanks, this helps.

So you had gtk-qt-engine installed... OK, think might very well have something to do with it.

1. do you still have it installed? If so, did you update it recently? Bug # 36256 states a fix to the issue on Gnome has been released as of Feb 23rd, so the latest release of it should be enough for you.

Please note that -- if this is the case -- just installing the updated gtk-qt-engine is *not* enough: you also have to perform some additional steps, as specified in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk-qt-engine/+bug/36256/comments/53

2. If you have uninstalled it, then please also remove the following directory and file:

~/.gtkrc2.0
~/.gtk_qt_engine_rc

If one of the above options match your environment, please try the appropriate one, and then please report back on the results.

Hello,

I just double checked, the dtk2... package was NOT installed. So, the
problem occured even without the qt-gtk engine...

It is curious as I did the same in Edgy, and I had the
"gnome-theme-manager" crashing on me. I reported the bug and removing
the gtk2 package solved the problem (Although now the GTK applications
look ugly on KDE).

The system is up-to-date. I update Feisty every day to help finding bugs etc.

Thanks!

Let me know what else I can do.

Cheers

Mariano

Mariano, I am very sorry for the delay.

I have two questions for you:

1. if you first installed kubuntu, then gtk-qt-engine was probably also installed (and perhaps later removed). This may mean you still have the directory and the file I pointed out (~/.gtkrc2.0, and ~/.gtk_qt_engine_rc.

If indeed they are present could you please remove or rename them & try again?

2. are you still experiencing the issue?

Thanks and, again, sorry for the delay.

Hello,

I stopped experiencing this problem once I removed both the
gtk2-engine and the gtk-qt engine. But I think that's not a nice
solution since now my GTK apps look very ugly in KDE.

I just checked but neither folders are in my home directory.

Thanks!

@mariano: bug # 36256 reports a fix released for the gtk2 engine that caused gnome to crash -- and the reason I suspect, for you to remove it.

You can re-install it, but please be sure to follow the instructions.

I will close this bug reject.

@M Lucius: Please try to obtain a backtrace <http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash> and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Also, please provide more info on what you were doing when you got this crash, and if it is repeatable.

Closing. No other comments from reporter or from the third party.
