Control Center Crashed when I was in the Themes applet

[Scott Beamer]

I was scrolling through GTK2 themes when Control Center Crashed.

Thanks for your bug. Could you get a backtrace with libgtk2.0-0-dbg and gnome-control-center-dbg installed?

[Scott Beamer (angrykeyboarder)]

Well ...

I installed those packages and tried to reproduce the bug and I was not able to however.....

Instead of Control Center Crashing.

*Nine* (9) other applications simultaneously crashed while scrolling though GTK themes in gnome-theme-manager.

gnome-mixer-applet
gnome-cups-icon
gnome-power-manager
seahorse-daemon
nm-applet
update-notifier

and gnome-panel (which I suppose caused the above apps to crash).

Oh and then there is gspot (which I find odd because I wasn't running it. -or maybe I misread the stack trace).

Should I file individual bug reports for these?

In the meantime I've attached the stack traces if you're interested.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Those backtrace look a different issue due to GTK, a backtrace for the gnome-control-center issue would still be useful if you get the bug again

[Scott Beamer (angrykeyboarder)]

That's what I figured, but I thought I'd ask.

So do I file individual bugs for all those packages?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

No, all the crash seem to be the same GTK error, feel free to open a gtk+2.0 bug with a description of what you were doing when you got the crash

[Palantar (palantar)]

Err, I should just mention that the stack trace attached above is identical to the first bug report...just scrolling through the themes and Bzap! (And I mean bzap in the most technical way possible)

[Palantar (palantar)]

And here it is again with the debug packages installed...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try to valgrind log (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind) for that issue too?

[Palantar (palantar)]

Unfortunately, I can't now because I ended up reinstall from scratch because I couldn't get an eclipse configuration that worked correctly, and now everything seems to be working fine.

The control center crashing occured after a dapper to edgy upgrade.

Angrykeyboarder: did you have any luck in reproducing this?

[Jens (jens-launchpad-net)]

Hi,

I have the same problem - three apps crashed while I was changing the theme from Human to "high Contrast" and back. I also have Gtk-Qt Theme installed (in KDE), and this was selected before, so perhaps this had something to do with it.

This also happened after an upgrade from Dapper to Edgy.
