Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508491

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

May you tell us a few steps in order to reproduce the crash? thanks.

[Rob Beard (rob-esdelle)]

This crash just happened to me when I attached a digital camera (Kodak EasyShare DX6340) to the USB port on my keyboard. Not sure if it's related or not?

[SWPalmer (swpalmer)]

I get the same crash every once in a while and I have no idea what triggers it. I was NOT using remote desktop, just browsing on the local machine with Firefox, editing some text files and checking mail with Thunderbird. The crash report just comes up arbitrarily in the middle of normal work.

[warmrobot (imfrolov)]

...and I don't use Thunderbird. Other symptoms are the same.

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

I'm unable to fix this bug if I can't reproduce it or if I don't get enough information...

Could you guys try to reproduce it, and, when its happens, copy here your ~/.xsession-errors ?

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

I just got this when trying to connect to localshot using vinagre.

The last part of my .xsession-errors. The messages before don't seem to be related at all (trackerd, totem, rhythmbox, libdvdread)

emilio@pochu:~$ tail .xsession-errors

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

BTW whenever I try to connect to localhost, vinagre shows this message "Connection to host "emilio@pochu" was closed." and apport appears saying vino crashed.

NB: I have my vnc connection protected with a password.

[SWPalmer (swpalmer)]

I'm also using a password. Since I am not trying to connect at all when the
crash happens, perhaps it is related to someone else trying to hack in?

I don't think so, as I'm connecting to localhost.

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Hi, Emilio. I had already seen this issue, which seems to be specific with vinagre. Today I had some time and fixed that specific bug in vino (crash when a client connect and immediately disconnect) [1].

Notice that I'm talking about other bug (which was reported by pochu in his last comment), not the bug as the title says.

[1] - http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/vino?view=revision&revision=787

That's great news!

Isn't this the same? I commented here because in the apport window the command
was similar to
ProcCmdline: /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer --oaf-ior-fd=17 (the
backtrace was useless without been retraced).

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Jonh, here's a debdiff applying that commit.

Let me know if you believe this is a different bug.

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Definitely they are different bugs... That I fixed is specific to client vinagre, (vncviewer is fine). Why? I'm still trying to discover :)

This bug, as the title and its backtrace suggest, is related to clipboard stuff, I need to investigate it more...

About your debdiff, I guess Ubuntu can wait until next week, when I'll release vino 2.21.92.

[LordSavage (lordsavage)]

Same here. When I try to connect with another client to this computer.

Unsubscribing Ubuntu Sponsors for main from this bug - seems the patch needs more discussion?

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Hi, Daniel.

This patch is not necessary anymore, once it belongs to vino 2.22, which is already packaged for Hardy.

Notice that this patch does NOT fix this bug. This bug still needs more information.

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Could you guys test this patch?

I guess you have to patch vino and let it run in background, in order to see if those random crashes come out.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

I've uploaded a patched vino to https://launchpad.net/~pochu/+archive as per Jonh's request. Could you please see if you still have this crash with that package?

[lilbudda (cory-meisch-gmail)]

Although this has not crashed again since I reported it last time, I have installed the patched version and will report back.

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Repeating: You must let vino server active all the time: System->Preferences->Remote Desktop

[lilbudda (cory-meisch-gmail)]

Yes, I leave my workstation at home on all the time and sometimes connect to
it from the office...

Vino has not crashed since Hardy release. This bug can probably be closed.

[lilbudda (cory-meisch-gmail)]

Closing as this has not been an issue for 2 releases now.
