gnome-screensaver-gl-helper crashed with SIGSEGV

[Wousser]

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

I just upgraded from gutsy to hardy. After rebooting my machine this apport crash appears.
I've found other bugs like 146385 , 146493 and 128476 but it seems they were using gutsy.
If the crash occurs again I will try to obtain a backtrace.

Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

I'm not able to reproduce this bug anymore. Seems that it only occurs if the
updater and the screensaver are running at the same time.

I met this problem too. Seems running updater and screen-saver at the same time causes this crash. I'm running Hardy, never seen this on Gutsy. I guess the dpkg-configuration of some packages caused this problem?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Without a stacktrace is difficult to determine where's the problem, so i'm closing this bug for now, and please submit anothe report with apport, thanks in advance.
