gdmsetup crashed with SIGSEGV in g_unix_mount_guess_should_display()

[Atanas Atanasov]

Binary package hint: gdm

gdmsetup crashes on start.

I also encountered another problem with apport. It would report that firefox is not responding when firefox is open. I had to close firefox and then apport opened it anew.

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545457

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the crash has been fixed upstream now, they would be interest to get details on the mount triggering the bug though, do you get the crash every time or did you get it only once? what did you do to get the issue?

[Atanas Atanasov (thenasko)]

I upgraded to the most recent version but gdmsetup still crashes with the same message. This also happens every single time I run the program. Should I submit another bug using apport?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the fixed version is not in ubuntu yet that's why you still get the issue, could you run "gvfs-mount -li" and attach the log to the bug? could you also attach /proc/mounts, it would be interesting to know which mount is creating the issue

I hope this helps.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

thank you for your effort, there is nothing special in those logs, could you install libglib2.0-0-dbg, run those commands:
- sudo gdb gdmsetup
(gdb) run
... get the crash
(gdb) bt
(gdb) frame n (where "n" is the number for the g_local_file_find_enclosing_mount() in the "bt" list
(gdb) print *local
(gdb) print local->filename

and attach those informations to the bug

[Atanas Atanasov (thenasko)]

I updated and cannot reproduce the crash anymore. Is there another way to send the information from gdb?

On another note, it takes a while to receive emails from launchpad, so I don't get notified for a while (last time it took about 2 days). Is this to be expected?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Atanas Atanasov (thenasko)]

I am running Intrepid so I don't think I can test Hardy proposed. Is this correct?

[Matt Neilson (ichthyoboy)]

verification passed...no crash on i386.
