Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This crash happening because libbamf crashes when it can't init a BamfMatcher:

Ubuntu 14.10.
Just turning my computer on:
"unity-panel-service crashed with signal 5 in g_type_create_instance()"
Same bug?

This bug is driving me crazy!! Makes it scary to reboot... Sometimes when you reboot, the system gets stuck meaning you have to do a hardware reboot (battery pull) and forcing a fsck.

*sigh*
