Kernel crashes when trying to connect a telepathy-salut account using my test user

[Guillaume Desmottes]

Each time I try to connect a telepathy-salut account ("People Nearby") having an avatar, my whole system freeze. I tried kerneloops but it didn't catch anything.
I managed to get a picture of the crash in a terminal (see attachement).

Let me know how I can grab more info as I can easily reproduce this.

Note that you need telepathy-salut 0.3.13 to be able to set an avatar with latest Empathy release but it's not packaged in Ubuntu atm.

Guillaume Desmottes, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not using Ubuntu anymore so can't test with it. But I can't reproduce this crash anymore with Linux 3.3.0-8.fc16.x86_64
