Public bug reported: This concerns tumbler 0.2.8-1 in Ubuntu focal.
Symptom: When I log into the Xubuntu desktop environment, the desktop begins to appear on the screen, but then the X server dies and I am unceremoniously returned to the LightDM login screen. If I uninstall tumbler, then I can log into the desktop environment without issue. I performed further testing, with tumbler installed. I looked at the shared libraries in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tumbler-1/plugins/, and experimented with removing/replacing them. I've confirmed that removing tumbler-gst-thumbnailer.so is enough to make the crash go away. Conversely, leaving it in as the only plugin causes the crash to occur. Because this library is a D-Bus plugin, I do not know how to debug it. There is no crash file for tumbler in /var/crash/ (but I see ones for xfsettingsd and the Xorg X server). ** Affects: tumbler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: focal ** Tags added: focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871318 Title: tumblerd GStreamer plugin crashes on startup, causing desktop session to exit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tumbler/+bug/1871318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
