Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

no debug symbol package found for libgflags2v5
no debug symbol package found for liburcu4

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

[Emanuele Antonio Faraone (emanueleant03)]

The system is up to date, I still encounter the crash.

[Alexander-Shariff-Vetter (asv-infinity)]

every time I log out of the unity 8 environment and log into unity 7 environment a bunch of random crashes pop up

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

I'm getting this one too.

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

I suspect this might be a bug in qtdbus 5.6.

https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/161056/

[dobey (dobey)]

This appears to be a crash inside Qt itself, and only occurs with 5.6+, apparently due to QDBus changing to use threading instead of the event loop, for asynchronous operations. There seems to be some fixes in Qt Code Review that should theoretically fix this. It would be nice if we could test these and get them into our release of Qt. I'm afraid there won't be any way to work around this crash in the scope or ubuntu-download-manager (we're keeping a u-d-m singleton object around, which is destroyed on exit) code itself.

[dobey (dobey)]

Sorry, the fix in Qt's code review system is at https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/161056/

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Was the fix tested already with a qtbase compilation?

Both it and its pre-requirement https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/157488 are not merged in upstream, so would need to be merged first. There may be some trouble they are causing since they are not yet merged.

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Please test from https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1960 and report back - builds are complete now.

[dobey (dobey)]

Sorry, no, I didn't build qtbase from source to test.

I've added the silo, but I still get a crash with this same stack trace when the scope is destroyed. I guess further fixes in Qt are required beyond these changes perhaps.

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Ok then :( If you also double-chcecked your libqt5core5 (etc) are version 5.6.1+dfsg-3ubuntu6~1

For qtbase, we can continue to follow http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/log/src/dbus?h=5.6 and https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/q/owner:%22Thiago+Macieira%22+status:open,n,z for any patches to try, but otherwise we should try to workaround the issue.

If you can describe the remaining problems or even produce an easy test case for upstream, please file a bug at https://bugreports.qt.io/ for Thiago to see.

Gustavo Boiko has been hard at reworking telepathy-qt to work with the new QDBus behaviors in 5.6, here are references to what kind of changes he has needed to do:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/280893997/telepathy-qt_0.9.6.1-6ubuntu1_0.9.6.1-7ubuntu2.diff.gz
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/284273846/telepathy-qt_0.9.6.1-7ubuntu2_0.9.6.1-9ubuntu6.diff.gz

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Marcus Tomlinson (marcustomlinson)]

According to https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-52988, those patches worked when applied on top of Qt5.7, I wonder if we're missing something important between 5.6 -> 5.7

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/140750/ (Stop unloading plugins in QPluginLoader and QFactoryLoader) mentioned in a comment was still missing from our build.

It's now building (ubuntu6~2 and ubuntu6~xenialoverlay1~2). Let's test all three patches once the builds are completed.

[Marcus Tomlinson (marcustomlinson)]

Yes! I've just confirmed that the packages in https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1960 fix the issue! Thanks Timo!

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

I've pushed now also updated gles packages to the PPA. After that, I'll start the autopkgtests which will take 1-2 days to finish.

I've also asked if upstream could consider the third patch for their 5.6 LTS series, as it's not currently there and it would always be better if they also carry the patch.

[Ubuntu QA Website (ubuntuqa)]

This bug has been reported on the Ubuntu ISO testing tracker.

A list of all reports related to this bug can be found here:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/bugs/1618590

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Unfortunately upstream won't be merging the third patch to 5.6 series, so it's only in Qt 5.8. It hides the problem instead of fixing the problem, which is that there is a plugin that doesn't unregister its objects before unloading.

I've prepared another silo https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2015 with alternative third patch that _is_ being considered for 5.6: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/172173/

Let's test it and if it fixes the problem too, land that one instead.

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Marcus confirmed the new patch also fixes the issue! I will start landing ticket #2015 now instead. Again autopkgtests will unfortunately take 1-2 days.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

now i forgot how to submit bugs

another thing is o found some new bugs in 17.04 Zesty Zapus

1.unable to use Unity 8

2. Software center is missing

3. technically everything is missing in unity 8 that was in unity 7

4. Every time i use software updater i get this error "Repository failed" i can't remember what the error was.

5. This does not seem the correct link for bug reporting but my memory sucks.

6.in details it says i'm running 16.10 but if i go into terminal and type "lsb_release -a" is says i'm using 17.04.
