gnome-screenshot hard crashes on Maverick

[Luke has no name]

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Ubuntu 10.10 x64 fully updated

Trying to take a screenshot using Print Screen, after pressing the button a few times, one of two things have happened:

Metacity crashes

Video cuts to blank screen, necessitates reboot.

I repeated it by pressing the button several times. It crashed X with this error:

GLib warning: getpwuid_r failed due to unknown user id (0)

Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I don't see that it is.

could you attach your Xorg.0.log log after getting the crash? that might be an xorg crash instead of a gnome-screenshot one, thanks in advance.

From one keypress, this showed up almost a dozen times in syslog:

Jun 30 11:51:10 galactica-linux kernel: [43559.108079] SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reBoot Crash terminate-all-tasks(E) memory-full-oom-kill(F) kill-all-tasks(I) thaw-filesystems(J) saK show-backtrace-all-active-cpus(L) show-memory-usage(M) nice-all-RT-tasks(N) powerOff show-registers(P) show-all-timers(Q) unRaw Sync show-task-states(T) Unmount force-fb(V) show-blocked-tasks(W) dump-ftrace-buffer(Z)

I didn't see anything unusual in the X.0.log from one keypress.

NOTE: One keypress locked up the keyboard for a minute. Key mashing of PrintScreen freezes the machine.

Sounds like bug #592042
