gjs-console crashed with signal 5

[Cristian Aravena Romero]

[Impact]
This is #1 crasher for gjs on errors.u.c, with thousands of hits per week.

https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=/usr/bin/gjs-console%3A5%3Aobject_instance_finalize%3Afinalize%3Afinalize%3AFinalizeTypedArenas%3AFinalizeArenas

[Testcase]
There is no specific testcase, this crash can be triggered by any function that frees its instance arguments.

[Regression Potential]
This adds a new attribute to g-i, for it to be effective however it requires typelibs to be rebuilt. See Comment #25 below

Hello Cristian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gjs into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gjs/1.40.1-0ubuntu0.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

[Eric Goulet (eric-m-goulet)]

Adam, I experience this bug, and I'd love to help. Is it possible to do this without receiving other proposed (and possibly unstable?) updates?

[Dennj Osele (dennj-osele)]

Sorry, I accidentally clicked "Fix Released".
How to cancel it?

[Tim Lunn (darkxst)]

This crash was not actually due to the GC re-entrancy issues, so is not actually fixed by the gjs 1.40.1 (although lots of other crashes are still fixed by that upload)

Adding new upstream bug

[Tim Lunn (darkxst)]

Marking verification-done, since it certainly doesnt make things any worse than current

From desktop-devel-list[1]:
Hello all,

I just landed https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729662, which
introduces a new attribute in gobject-introspection typelibs that is
critical for correct memory management in language bindings.
While the bug should not affect many functions (only those that
unref/free their instance arguments), and primarily we saw crashes in
gjs caused by Gio, it is hard to determine if a library is affected or
not automatically, and therefore it would be best if all typelibs
would be rebuilt with the new gobject-introspection, now or as soon as
a release is available.
This in particular to avoid reports against gjs or pygobject that
would be hard to debug for developers under different distros or using
jhbuild packages with the fix.

Cheers

Giovanni

Cristian,
fix has not been uploaded yet, and even then it could take a while to clear up, since many typelibs need rebuilding but its hard to know which ones!

Hello, I'm working with utopic.

[Tim Lunn (darkxst)]

Gave this a good test on my last remaining trusty machine, and didn't hit the crash. Not seeing any crashes on errors.u.c either ;0

[Thomas Boehm (7-launchpad-net-email-boehmi-net)]

I had at least two crashes since I updated to 1.40.1-0ubuntu0.3. Haven't rebooted the PC since the update though...

[Tim Lunn (darkxst)]

Thomas, are you sure it is the same crash? The "signal 5" is fairly generic and can be caused by different crashes as well. The only way to tell is to look at the retrace.

[Thomas Boehm (7-launchpad-net-email-boehmi-net)]

Just crashed again.

I don't know how many different bugs there are, my crash has the same command line like the OP. Here's the _usr_bin_gjs-console.1000.crash

http://paste.ubuntu.com/8088031/

Can anybody give instructions on how to apply that fix or install it? I see a bunch of patches, but no instructions on how to place them anywhere. I'm on Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 and today is 04/05/15. Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone tell me how a fix released could still present if we update our computers on weekly basis?

[Tim Lunn (darkxst)]

Please file new bugs if you are still seeing crashes, this bug was fixed 6 months ago. "gjs-console crashed with signal 5" is a very generic message, so without current backtraces, not much can be done to track it down.
