gnome-control-center fails to launch

[Owen Savill]

Similar issues have been reported before but marked as Invalid. I don't know why they've been marked as invalid but I' reporting this as a new bug.

Attempting to run gnome-control-center results in the message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)", but I do not know where the core has been dumped, they may even be switched off but I can't remember where you enable them. Running it under GDB gives the following:
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
[New Thread 0x7fffef1d7700 (LWP 3329)]
[New Thread 0x7fffee4fd700 (LWP 3330)]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007fffbf2e5146 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcogl.so.12

I am running Ubuntu 13.10 and I'm using gnome-control-center from Proposed. The same issue appears in the stock gnome-control-center and the other bug reports say to try the upstream version.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you install the cogl dbg package and get a gdb debug backtrace? What videocard and driver do you use?

[Owen Savill (osavill)]

Backtrace attached.

I noticed that cheese is referenced in the backtrace. Cheese also crashes and the backtrace references cogl.

I have two video cards in my system. An nVidia and an Intel "card" on the motherboard. I use the stock Ubuntu driver for the Intel and I'm using the 331.13 nVidia driver installed from the nVidia download. I am using kernel 3.12.0-031200-generic from the Ubuntu kernel PPA.

Thanks, I've reported it upstream on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711697
