Today, on one amd64/systemd machine, I tried updating 3.10.17 to 3.10.25. As expected make oldconfig showed nothing new, so I thought the new kernel would just work.
However gdm failed, with several pairs of messages Jan 22 17:04:49 localhost gdm[276]: GLib-GObject: g_object_ref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed. Jan 22 17:04:49 localhost gdm[276]: GLib-GObject: g_object_unref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed. Has anyone had a similar problem, and perhaps a fix? Since 3.10.17 works fine for me, my current plan is to wait for the next stable kernel ebuild to hit and hope that one is better thanks, allan PS some more context from journalctl (the lines are very long) Jan 22 17:04:48 localhost ntpd[318]: Listen normally on 5 wired fe80::21e:c9ff:fe48:f9a0 UDP 123 Jan 22 17:04:48 localhost ntpd[318]: peers refreshed Jan 22 17:04:49 localhost gdm[276]: Child process 297 was already dead.
