[Bug 145282] Re: metacity crashed with SIGSEGV in g_list_length()
I did actually add a check for verbose mode yesterday, so that the log message's size and content are not calculated unless it'll be used, and hence g_list_length won't be called. This closes the presenting problem. But we still have the difficulty that the presenting problem can only have been caused by a degenerate list, which would have caused problems further down the line, and the real problem would have been finding where this list went bad. However, we can't do that unless we can replicate, and we've only had one report of this problem. Hence, I'm closing this upstream as INVALID. However, if this happens again, let us know. -- metacity crashed with SIGSEGV in g_list_length() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145282 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 145282] Re: metacity crashed with SIGSEGV in g_list_length()
[Sorry, I asked this upstream and the reporter clearly didn't get the message.] This is going to be a tough one to track down if we can't reproduce it. Can you reproduce this bug? What were you actually doing, not moving windows around or switching between windows or anything? Were you just typing away, or were you not touching the computer at all? FWIW, the call to g_list_length here is pretty useless except if you have logging on. We should probably remove it unless you do, and save a few cycles. On the other hand, it wouldn't fix this crash, since it's not *really* a problem with g_list_length but with the rectangle list containing a pointer outside the segment. We can't tell what that rectangle list was, since that depends on what called do_screen_and_xinerama_relative_constraints(), and that information's been optimised away. Unless we can find out more, we're going to have to close this for lack of information. -- metacity crashed with SIGSEGV in g_list_length() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145282 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
