Discord and several other applications using libappindicator are widely reported to have been crashing for several years. See: https://github.com/flathub/com.discordapp.Discord/issues/30 (and others)
This is the backtrace:

Happens in all versions of libappindicator built from latest sources available on launchpad.
I ran into the issue yesterday when installing Discord for the first time. I have tracked the problem down to libappindicator passing in an extra vararg item to g_signal_emit that the signal's definition in libappindicator was not declaring, causing the crash you see above in gobject's g_signal dispatch machinery.
Patch is attached.
I am presuming this is 'upstream' for libappindicator, whatever that may mean for what appears to be an unmaintained project. If it is not, and since it is an Ubuntu/Canonical-sourced project originally, I respectfully request that you assist in upstreaming it since this bug is causing severe breakage for users across all distros. |
[ Impact ]
Discord and several other applications using libappindicator are widely reported to have been crashing for several years. See: https://github.com/flathub/com.discordapp.Discord/issues/30 (and others)
[ Test case ]
- Run discord application
- It must not crash in ubuntu (or when indicators are enabled)
[ Regression potential ]
Very low, icons might not appear in some cases, if any.
