Just ask if you need more info.

The same happens opening gnome-shell.

Thank you for taking the time to report this crash and helping to make this software better.

Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Please continue to report any other bugs you may find.

[Bruno Medeiros (brunojcm)]

This is obviously not a duplicate, since the #945144 is fixed, and I just got the error in trusty.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Right, the issue is a missing key in a converted schemas, those end up with the same functions signature and get marked incorrectly as duplicate though

[Bruno Medeiros (brunojcm)]

Do you need any info? Just ask in case.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you still get the issue? It would be useful to get a report/stacktrace with libglib2.0-0-dbg installed, that should give us the problematic schemas and key

[Bruno Medeiros (brunojcm)]

I've upgraded a few more machines and I didn't get this error.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Dan Christensen (jdc)]

I also got this when upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04. Maybe the program can be fixed to be resilient to schema changes?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Those are real issues, if we ignore them the bugs are not going to be resolved

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

without a backtrace that bug is not really useful
