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

[Tim Lunn (darkxst)]

I haven't been able to reproduce this here yet,, but I do maybe have an idea for a fix. Is anyone affected by this able to check (using gdb) the value of 'device->scroll_valuators' in frame #0. Hopefully it is NULL?

This occurred at the same time as bug 1366351.

[Larry McNaughton (larry-mcnaughton)]

I was typing a message in Hangouts (Chrome) when it crashed.

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Would people please check the package in ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/landing-008 to see if the crashes go away?

[Aurimas Fišeras (aurimas-gmail)]

Packages from ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/landing-008 fixed the crash for me.

This bug was fixed in the package unity-settings-daemon - 14.04.0+14.10.20141014-0ubuntu1

Got the crash,
Just did an update:

Looks like the comment #12

Will reboot & see.

[jerrylamos (jerrylamos)]

Whoopsie, got another crash after the update in comment #14 which on the surface looks like comment #12......

So whatever may be in

This bug was fixed in the package unity-settings-daemon - 14.04.0+14.10.20141014-0ubuntu1

after shutdown, boot I still got another crash....

[Dirk Mcbratney (djmcbratney)]

If #1380638 really is a duplicate of this bug, it's definitely still active. unity-settings-daemon not only crashes, but fails to relaunch from terminal unless I log out and log back in, making it not just frustrating, but extremely time consuming.
