goa-daemon crashed with SIGABRT

[Cliff Carson]

* Impact

The gnome-online-accounts sometime crash after resuming from suspend

* Test case

Install the librest update, restart your system and verify that configured online accounts keep working. Taking a Google account example, calendar events should show in gnome-calendar and the top panel widget, evolution should list your email account and nautilus should be able to browse your gdrive folder.

We should also confirm that error reports stop with the library update

* Regression potential

The patch makes the code better handle an empty payload. The librest rdepends in the archive are gnome-initial-setup/gnome-online-accounts/gnome-maps so we should verify that those keep working as expected.

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

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Impact:

I miss new events because I no longer get calendar notifications because the calendar does not sync anymore when that happens.

Hello Cliff, or anyone else affected,

Accepted librest into kinetic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librest/0.9.1-2ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-kinetic to verification-done-kinetic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-kinetic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Unsure of librest update is installed correctly since I've never installed a package this way. The following dpkg -l shows the librest at 0.9.1.-2.

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
cliff@cliffps:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ dpkg -l | grep librest
ii librest-1.0-0:amd64 0.9.1-2ubuntu1 amd64

Will watch for the goa error.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

it seems installed correctly from that dpkg log yes, thanks for testing!

I experienced this bug as well, so I updated to the proposed librest package (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librest/0.9.1-2ubuntu1).

[Ivan Wolf (eiwaen)]

Since the update, I've suspended and woken up the computer numerous times, and I haven't seen the error once.

[Paul Eichler (pleic)]

I have seen the same bug pretty consistently. After upgrading (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librest/0.9.1-2ubuntu1) it seems to be gone.
I will report if it shows up again
