Title: [background]: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in cairo_surface_set_user_data() Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After applying the most recent updates (on 10/13/13) I've suddenly started experiencing segfaults in libcairo. I have to reset X in order to fully recover. It appears to be random, but I suspect it's related to updating the background image. I have a script that runs xplanet every 5 minutes to generate a new image, and then runs 'gconftool -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename pic' to update the screen background. Nautilus and gnome-settings both crash at the same time: [216786.273050] nautilus[16216]: segfault at 10 ip b6f72151 sp bfdc9318 error 4 in libcairo.so.2.11000.2[b6f27000+c7000] [217084.903495] gnome-settings-[16173]: segfault at 10 ip b6b5e151 sp bfdceab8 error 4 in libcairo.so.2.11000.2[b6b13000+c7000] ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-54.82-generic-pae 3.2.50 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-54-generic-pae i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.5 Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Oct 15 12:36:10 2013 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100429) MarkForUpload: True ProcCmdline: /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/tcsh SegvAnalysis: Segfault happened at: 0xb6b5e151 <cairo_surface_set_user_data+17>: cmpl $0xffffffff,0x10(%eax) PC (0xb6b5e151) ok source "$0xffffffff" ok destination "0x10(%eax)" (0x00000010) not located in a known VMA region (needed writable region)!
