Same bug but cannot be reported because apport do not support it...

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

This bug also affect me on kernel 2.6.32-21.

[lowlux (lowlux)]

It affects me on the beta 1 live cd and beta 2 live cd.

[subbu (skbhat03)]

The crash still occurs even after the latest updates to kernel etc.

[Detlef Lechner (detlef-lechner)]

I am affected too.

Could somebody get a backtrace following the instructions located at : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingWithApportRetrace ? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your efforts, could you install libgdu0-dbgsym libglib2.0-0-dbgsym and get a new stacktrace?

[Lars Näppä (lnappa)]

Sure, but (libglib2.0-0-dbg OK):

Thank you, the stracktrace now has the required details, reassign to gnome-disk-utility since it seems to crash in this library

[Lars Näppä (lnappa)]

Then I suppose the stack/backtrace of _usr_lib_gnome-disk-utility_gdu-notification-daemon.1000.crash also can be helpful:

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

bug #566448 could be the same issue

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

gvfs called gdu_pool_get_devices(NULL), reassigning back to gvfs.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Ah, these are dupes of bug 521481
