gnome control center segmentation fault when clicking details tab

[Ioannis Vardas]

Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
gnome-control-center:
  Installed: 1:3.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.4
  Candidate: 1:3.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.4
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 500
        500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1 500
        500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages

When opening the gnome-control-center it may close after some seconds. Additionally, if I open "Details" tab it closes and returns a segmentation fault. I know this issue is not new but I have
experienced it now.

Don't know if this is done correctly

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

it would have been better to user apport to open the bug ...

anyway, can you provide those info manually since you didn't use the reporting tool
$ which gnome-control-cenhter
$ ldd -r /usr/bin/gnome-control-center
$ dpkg -l | grep libglib

[Ioannis Vardas (ioannisvardas)]

I have also sent the apport output in a previous attachment

Weird, that looks like https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/285 but that one was fixed and shouldn't impact the glib version installed :/(

Could you give the output of "gio mount -li" and attach the "journalctl -b 0" log from a session after triggering the issue?

Thanks for all the details, marking is unconfirmed, unsure what's going on there but maybe someone else an idea...

[Ioannis Vardas (ioannisvardas)]

Thanks a lot for your time, sorry I couldnt provide you with more information. Btw is it normal that i have two different gnome runtimes installed? I see versions 3.26 and 3.28. 3.28 is running

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The runtime are for snaps righT? You might be able to uninstall 3.26 (unless you have snaps still using it)

You might want to report the segfault upstream, they might have a better idea since they write the code
