[Krupier]

It's my first login to my new quantal, (Ubuntu 12.10) just upgraded from precise. I'm sitting on a MacBookPro (Intel) on VirtualBox .

Distro was upgaded with
sed s/quantal/precise/g > /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-gat update
apt-get -u dist-upgrade (I'm a fan of console :-))

During the upgrade my session crashed and I had to reset it. Then I used iso image I downloaded 2 days before (which DID NOT work with sudo apt-cdrom add) to realign my reiserfs partition (no corruption was found), then logged to my VBox and from console (no X session) did 'dpkg -a --configure' and apt-get -u dist-upgrade again, and rebooted my mashine.

Unity came with this bug and blck band in the place where menu should appear, which I hid and which did not work on Precise too! I mean, it was supposed to appear when I pointed my mouse there, no way :-)

[Daniel Aleksandersen (da2x)]

I have a way of reliably reproducing this crash. Verified on different harware hosts / VirtualBox versions.

1. Add ppa:aeyoun/fluxfonts and install fluxfonts
2. service fluxfonts restart (repeat two–three times in a row)

When I run this in a freshly installed copy of Ubuntu 12.10 in VirtualBox with low graphics memory (22 mib) I trigger this crash. Sometime it can crash even when the service starts up as past of the postinstall process.

The Fluxfont program is a background daemon that installs new fonts to /usr/local/share/fonts/ every few minutes and then calls `fc-cache /usr/local/share/fonts/`. It really does not do a whole lot more.

This looks like the same issue we fixed in bug 1060327. Marking it as a duplicate until proven otherwise.
