indicator-session-service crashed with SIGSEGV in g_str_hash()

[Ben Bates]

Binary package hint: indicator-session

I am not sure when this problem occurred, I just noticed the crash indicator in my task bar in the upper right hand corner. I do have an encrypted home directory and I was using synaptic at the time I noticed the indicator. I was also using firefox and testing vlc at the time. I am running 10.10 alpha 2, as an distro upgrade from a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 My system is a Toshiba Qosmio x305-q701 and it seems really slow at times. My Core2duo P7350 has not hit 25% cpu usage and memory has only maxed out at 12% in the past hour. My Nvidia gforce 9700m did hit 67 celcius right after the distro upgrade for some reason, then I installed the proprietary nvidia current drivers. As I said before I did not notice when this segfault occurred or notice what system was affected by it. I only assume it involved my encrypted files system as I heard there were previous bugs in that,but my home directory was already encrypted before the distro upgrade. I make this assumtion as apport reported this as a SIGSEGV in g_str_hash() which I assume involves encryptions. Thanks to all the maintainers and dev's out there making 10.10 what it is today. My bluetooth evens works! :):) The last time my blue-tooth worked out of the box was when I used that other evil OS. Thanks! :)

I had the crash report, but is was just after rebooting with kernel -7 this morning. As far as I know, nothing is affected. All my applets, with the exception of a strange one for PulseAudio (a circle with a crossed line, like a 'Do Not Enter' sign) are there and working.

I had added the missing applets - Bluetooth, Sound and Mail Notification manually some time ago via "Add to Panel' and scrunched them over to sit by the clock, and I haven't had a problem since.

These crash reports I think are involving dbus, or some other event
notifier. As I had another one late last night. When I go to close an
application like vlc or firefox, I sometimes get this crash.

I don't think this is a duplicate as I got the error indicator-session-service crashed with SIGSEGV in g_str_hash() and the bug that this is a duplicate of is indicator-sound-service crashed with SIGSEGV in g_str_hash(). My problem never was affected by the sound. I have full use of my sound card and never noticed anything. Although I am new at this so I could be wrong. Also, there could be other reports that I may have missed so it could still be a duplicate of something.

The problem was in a library that both of them used. So when the
library was fixed it fixes the bug in both of the services. Thanks for
checking though!
