And indeed we see in the stack trace: #12 0x00007fc81b7c18dd in _gdk_pixmap_new (drawable=0x134c5a0, width=564, height=65535, depth=24)
even though the log message says that 65535 should still just barely fit, it does seem like a bug. No part of the stack trace goes through metacity here, it seems to be an internal repaint operation in GTK 2 (gdk_window_update_idle()). Chris just pointed out that I'm seeing a different crash than the original reporter here. Unfortunately for the dupe checker they are indistinguishable. However, I'm investigating the one I see for now, as it's the one I can reliably reproduce. Note that it won't make much sense to report this upstream. Both GTK 2 and metacity are obsolete and unmaintained, and for 12.04 we ought to find another window manager for unity 2D. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848808 Title: metacity crashed with SIGABRT in __kernel_vsyscall() Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “metacity” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Bug description: i was installing a package via metacity.
