Title:
all signal handlers have been removed in error
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
gnome-session/main.c has disabled all signal handling, but intention
was seemingly to only disable SIGSEGV signal handing:
10:43 <jodh> chrisccoulson: hi - I'm looking at how gnome-session currently
shuts down and trying to understand why the following is
commented out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1544640/
10:44 <chrisccoulson> jodh, IIRC it was to stop gnome-session from swallowing
those signals so we got crash reports with apport
10:44 <chrisccoulson> but this was a long time ago ;)
10:49 <jodh> chrisccoulson: ok, thanks.
10:49 <chrisccoulson> jodh, technically, i think only the call to
gdm_signal_handler_add_fatal() needs to be commented out
10:49 <chrisccoulson> i can't remember why we disabled all signal handling
10:50 <chrisccoulson> i've slept and drank beer since then ;)
10:50 <pitti> chrisccoulson: or perhaps a merge error? in the original patch
the commented out section might only have been for SIGSEGV, and
in newer upstream versions the SIGTERMs got added?
10:52 <chrisccoulson> pitti, yeah, you're right
10:52 <chrisccoulson> the original patch was
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-session/ubuntu/revision/18
10:52 <chrisccoulson> jodh ^^
10:53 <chrisccoulson> it got changed here by seb128:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-session/ubuntu/revision/233
10:53 <chrisccoulson> not sure why ;)
10:53 <pitti> that doesn't look intended
10:54 <chrisccoulson> jodh, so, the short summary is - the patch is only meant
to disable the SEGV handler ;)
