Binary package hint: vino

vino-server will no longer work for me - it crashes within 3 seconds of starting it. I had been using it in 10.04 without issue and configured through vino-preferences. apport does not intercept this crash either so i did a manual backtrace with gdb:

not sure where to get any more debugging symbols from. Since this is somehow related to hostnames lemme just quote my /etc/hosts here:

mike@rounder:~$ cat /etc/hosts
192.168.1.3 rounder # Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 rounder localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
127.0.1.1 rounder

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
