My natty system has recently started doing this too... X is ending up on
VT 1 somehow, and then 'enter' is randomly triggering SIGQUIT...

I now have no idea what was causing this problem. Both gnome-terminal-
data and metacity-common on my system installed empty schemas like the
above, but removing and reinstalling them has fixed the problems. I can
only assume something was broken at the time I installed these packages,
although
Final note - the fastest way I have found to fix this problem globally:
sudo sh -vx ./gconf2.postinst configure 2.28.0-1ubuntu4

I too was seeing this problem with both gdm and my normal gnome session
(i could, sometimes, log in blind).
As above metacity ends up constantly respawning and dying due to an
assertion failure.
I don't quite understand what's going on, but somehow there are no
metacity settings in gconf, and
A more complete (and far simpler) fix:
$ sudo gconf-schemas --register metacity.schemas
Without this, for some reason /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml
contained only these values for metacity:
dir name=metacity
dir name=window_keybindings
/dir
dir name=keybinding_commands
/dir
dir
I have managed to extract the following:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
desktop_entry_get_basename (entry=0x1f) at

Further, simply adding (as required by the spec) 'Type=Directory' stops
the segfault.

This is actually a bug in gnome-menus-2.28.0.1-0ubuntu3. In
debian/patches/22_desktop-cache.patch line 48, which once applied
inserts as line 322 of libmenu/desktop-entries.c:
DesktopEntry *retval;
The uninitialized retval is later returned in the event of an error.
Initialising this to NULL
This problem appears to be caused by /dev/shm having the wrong
permissions (which is also causing me a number of other problems).
Running
$ sudo chmod 1777 /dev/shm
and logging out and back in fixes the problem (until the next reboot).
I am not sure why /dev/shm has the wrong permissions -
11 matches
