Just saw this myself. This hasn't happened to me before, and the trigger seems to be moving session tabs out of the 'main' application with multiple session tabs. I moved two in the middle of the tab list one at a time to another 'group'. Specifically, moved one out, then moved another into the one that I moved to create a 'group' with two tabs. gnome-terminal crashed after (not immediately) and the following message was in kern.log:
gnome-terminal[2190]: segfault at 8 ip b6f0eaca sp bf8252f0 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.3000.0[b6efd000+4d000 I just enabled apport and will try to get a .crash file next time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876916 Title: gnome-terminal segfault error 4 libgobject-2.0.so Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: During routine usage of gnome-terminal, I experienced a segfault/crash of the app. I've never observed a crash in terminal, so it was very surprising. Unfortunately, the only log I received was this: [243052.154280] gnome-terminal[1839]: segfault at 8 ip b6f1daca sp bfa91790 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.3000.0[b6f0c000+4d000] There were no cores, and apport was disabled (the default setting) so nothing meaningful was captured. I had 3 windows open with multiple tabs in each. One window contained a screen session. The error seemed to occur while I was using vi and editing a file. I don't know if this is reproducible, but hopeful the ip/sp info may be of some use.
