Bug Description
After I upgraded from Ubuntu 14.10 to Ubuntu 15.04, I have been noting stability problems of many applications. They force-close randomly or when I trigger certain actions. Some of this apps include nautilus, gnome-maps, nemo, gnome-control-
I have checked dmesg and syslog and I can see that all of the crashes report a segmentation fault, something about 0 ip and error 14. Below you can see some example dmesg lines:
gnome-control-
nemo[5773]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007fff9ae1d118 error 14 in nemo[400000+183000]
gnome-maps[5811]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007fff32111558 error 14 in gnome-maps[
In this 3 examples, all I did was:
In ...
gnome-control-
nemo: I just navigated to some folders and let the application alone, then it crashed after a minute
gnome-maps: I tried to get directions
This was not happening before the system upgrade.
