This seems to be happening again if it was fixed previously. I'm getting exactly same crash with gnome-system-log in bug #148736.
I'm using up-to-date Gutsy, gtk+2.0 (2.12.0-1ubuntu3) and (gnome-utils 2.20.0.1-0ubuntu1).

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Steps to reproduce:
1. cp /var/log/dmesg /tmp/dmesg
2. cp /var/log/dmesg /tmp/dmesg.1
3. open gnome-system-log and open /tmp/dmesg in the log view
4. change "Version" (to Archive 1) in combobox in lower right corner

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

The patch attached in upstream bug report fixes the issue.
Would this be possible for a SRU ?

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Here's a debdiff for Hardy's gnome-utils (2.20.0.1-1ubuntu1).

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for your work, I've sponsored the upload to hardy, not sure if that's worth a gutsy update though

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Same for Gutsy's gnome-utils (2.20.0.1-0ubuntu1).

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

gnome-utils (2.20.0.1-1ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/05_handle_signals.patch:
    - fix SIGSEGV in g_value_peek_pointer() (LP: #132637)

I also have a problem. I can't watch apache2 access and error logs.
There ar the files logs.

[Gilles E. Morel (almtesh)]

Sorry, but I can't put the two files in a alone message. Here's the error log
