When start, after boot, then crash

[dino99 (9d9)]

how i got it for the first time:

logged as gnome-classic, then check for updates and got a lot of unity & indicator updates, applied them
logged out and shutdown then reboout and log as gnome-classic
then the crash happened

system: i386 pae + nvidia-current

Same as Dino (#3 above):

Never had this problem, before I logged into Gnome Classic.

However, ever since I logged into Gnome Classic (I only did it once), I get this crash on every subsequent boot of Ubuntu.

"indicator-session" is like a pitbull with a bone. It won't let go of Gnome Classic, no matter what session I boot into - Unity 2D - Unity 3D - et cetera.

"indicator-session" thinks I'm running Gnome Classic, and fails.

Hey, because the retracer was down we weren't able to get a good retrace. Unfortunately that makes this hard to tackle. I'm going to mark the bug invalid, but please submit a backtrace if it happens again so that we can get a better handle on what is happening. Thanks!

[matt_hargett (matt-use)]

I got this when I did an update and rebooted earlier today. I boot into unity2d, so it seems unrelated to "Gnome Classic". I have most debugging symbol packages installed, so hopefully my trace is better.

[Alessandro Losavio (alo21)]

I have the same problem

[Richard-lonscak (richard-lonscak)]

same problem here

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

Please check bug 840118, I hope there will be a stacktrace there.

[Luke Scharf (lukescharf)]

I'm running Unity on a multi-monitor laptop. I'm seeing the same thing as the rest of y'all.

My packages are the lastest ones I could pull with apt-get dist-upgrade as of about 5 minutes. If needed, I'll egrep the version numbers based on the ones above.

[Luke Scharf (lukescharf)]

I forgot to mention that I'm also seeing this just after GUI login. (Unity + laptop display + external monitor)

[Alex Kras (akrasnoborodkin)]

confirm, just after login. Gnome 3
