grazie team ubuntu siette bravissimi! viva ubuntu

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug is collecting duplicates, could somebody in the dxteam work on it?

[Ted Gould (ted)]

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be enough information in the stack traces to figure out what is going on here. Could someone who's having it please try to get a Valgrind log of their indicator-application-service: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind Thank you!

[Martijn_Hoekstra (martijnhoekstra)]

I did have the bug, occurring when booting into the RC for the first time (on, shame on me, a production machine), but not after subsequent reboots, so I'm unable to reproduce.

I am wondering, is anyone who has had this bug still able to reproduce?

[Matúš (matusroman)]

Hi. Can you help me with this problem ?

I have got Toshina Equium A300D - 13x and extern monitor Acer x223w. I been
tested all version Ubuntu and Kubutu 10.04 and 10.10 but all of them have
same trouble. Maverick 10.10 with mesa 7.9 is running best of them.

I made file for setup corect resolution on my monitor :
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051
1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1680x1050_60.00
xrandr --output LVDS --off
xrandr --size 1680x1050

This file is started with ubuntu but after some time is resolution damaged
and resolution is automatic setup on resolution which is provided by Ubuntu.
I have to start up again the file with my setup.

Ubuntu Maverick is running in satisfed level for me, but mine trouble are
with extern monitor. If I go to console via CTRL+ALT+F1 or F2 ... F6
anywhere I can see this information and my monitor is regulary flashing.

I think if I will able stop the process on the backround my screen
resolution stay stable. Or have any idea from you ?

Thank You, Matúš

Procedures from konsole:
(this still running and display is flashing every cca 45 min.)

[Bruce Pieterse (octoquad)]

Just got it as well. I found the following in daemon.log:

[Odin Hørthe Omdal (velmont)]

I don't get any crash notifications, but sometimes when I start my computer, the whole shebang is gone. It is very irritating. Find screenshot enclosed.

[Ted Gould (ted)]

Besides a valgrind log it would be useful to have the output from Unity or the applet. It seems like indicator-application-service is shutting down. Which is more likely the root cause of the issue.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

Not sure if the service is shutting down, or if an application is shutting down or flickers on the bus and as the application-service-appstore tries do dispose the reference it fails and crashes. That's from the analysis of crashers going through application_removed_cb

It may not fix the problem for specific app indicators, but being extra cautious when dealing with object references along the application_removed_cb path may help and prevent the whole service from crashing.

I think that's a worthwhile audit to perform on the existence codebase (natty) and see if a backport can then be provided to desktop for an sru candidate that reporters here could test.

[Ted Gould (ted)]

Considering the next function up the stack is "application_service_appstore_dispose()" I'm pretty sure that it's shutting down. The appstore is only unreferenced in a single place:

[Dario Bertini (berdario)]

Opinion?
Is it only me to find this change a little bit nonsensical?
afaik, Opinion should be used when the topic and/or proposed solution
is controversial...

but this is a crash: either is does happen or it does not...
If we don't have enough information for prooceding with this bug i
think it would be better to leave it as Incomplete (and eventually let
it expire)

(I myself had this bug, but haven't had this crash lately, so i'm
unable to help with the details)

[David Barth (dbarth)]

@Karl: could you comment on the analysis of the issue and resolution status? Thanks

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Not using Unity, got this on Maverick. Just logged in to see a crash report waiting for me (I did enable apport).

[Karl Lattimer (karl-qdh)]

are people still experiencing this bug, it's passed me by until now unforunately.

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

I don't get this anymore, for a long time.

[Bruce Pieterse (octoquad)]

Haven't had it since my last bug report.

[Karl Lattimer (karl-qdh)]

Marked as fix released as no-one seems to get it any more.

[xteejx (xteejx)]

So the duplicate reported by Colan Schwartz on 2011-03-18 (10 days ago) doesn't count? .... Setting back to Triaged.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

if you still have an issue open a new bug with a new stacktrace, it could be similar to you but a different crash

[Colan Schwartz (colan)]

My stack trace is now available over at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/749858.

[Zentai Andras (andras-zentai)]

I just experienced a crash "indicator-application-service crashed with SIGSEGV in g_object_unref()" using Oneiric (11.10) AMD64 and Unity 2D.
I'm not sure if this is the same bug.
It happened only first time, no it would be really hard to reproduce.
