Could somebody experiencing this bug and can recreate it easily please
run the following in a terminal to try and get a more useful backtrace,
as the one here does not have any useful information in it:
killall gnome-settings-daemon
gdb gnome-settings-daemon 2>&1 | tee gsd.log
break gdk_x_error
run --sync --no-daemon
When it breaks, please run "bt full" to obtain a backtrace. This will
also break on normally handled exceptions, which are perfectly ok. To
make sure that the error you just caught wasn't a harmless handled
exception, please run "cont" and see if it breaks again, or just aborts.
If it aborts, then the trace you got is useful. If it breaks again, then
please go through this cycle until it eventually aborts. The last trace
is the useful one.
Please attach gsd.log to this report.
Karmic users will also need to do the following before trying to obtain
a backtrace, because the media-keys plugin sets xlib to run
asynchronously again when it loads, regardless if whether you specified
the "--sync" option or not:
gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/media-
keys/active 0
Please also make sure you have the following packages installed before
getting the backtrace: gnome-settings-daemon-dbgsym, libglib2.0-0-dbg,
libgtk2.0-0-dbg, libc6-dbg, libxklavier12-dbgsym (jaunty),
libxklavier15-dbgsym (karmic), libx11-6-dbgsym and libxi6-dbg
If you can only recreate the crash on login, then you will need to take
a different approach. Edit /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-
daemon.desktop and add "--sync" to the end of the "Exec" line. Log out
and back in again. If it crashes, Apport will catch the crash and
generate a crash report. Don't submit this one though- I would rather
you attached the stacktrace to this report for now. The stacktrace
should be complete without any processing from the retracer, seeing as
you already installed the dbgsym packages I mentioned earlier. (If you
do submit the crash report as a separate bug, please tell me the bug
number).
To extract the stacktrace from your apport crash report, do the
following:
mkdir gsd-crash
apport-unpack /var/crash/_usr_lib_gnome-settings-daemon.<uid>.crash ~/gsd-crash
(Obviously replacing "<uid>" with your user ID).
Once you have done this, there will be a file named "Stacktrace" in
~/gsd-crash. Please attach this. Then make sure you remove the "--sync"
option from /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop again.
Thanks
