gnome-system-monitor crashed with SIGSEGV in g_object_newv()

[Jeremy Visser]

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

I have a dual-core system, and I like to have different colours for the two CPUs in the CPU History Resources graph. So, I dragged the light-blue coloured button from Network History onto the button for the second CPU. On Gutsy, this made the colour change properly. However, nothing changed. I then clicked on the colour button for the second CPU to manually change the colour, and the program crashed.

When the program restarted, the colour I had dragged onto the button in the first place was shown properly.

Thanks, mate. I wasn't sure if this was a duplicate or not.

Original reporter has no suitable system to reproduce the bug.

This message is a call for testers: please verify whether the problem still persists.

[Jeremy Visser (jeremy-visser)]

I just tested this on my Natty + GNOME 3 PPA system, and could not reproduce it. I must say, if the bug were still present I would probably have reproduced this some other time.

Probably not worth wasting time on this one, and consider it accidentally fixed.

[Dmitri Bachtin (damg)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Oneiric Ocelot.

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "How to request new packages" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages.
