Unity is a python script, so it won't work, but it supports debugging: --debug Run unity under gdb and print a backtrace on crash. /!\ Only if devs ask for it. i.e. run unity --debug --replace before the crash (preferrable in a console terminal (hit CTRL-ALT-F1 and

I can certainly generate crashes when I run env MALLOC_CHECK_=3 G_SLICE =always-malloc unity --replace. What do I do after that? It's not giving me anything new in /var/crash. I tried ubuntu-bug and ended up with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1061467. When I try ubuntu-bug

It's a little difficult to run all those commands before it crashes, and also difficult to run commands afterwards if the screen is frozen. I tried putting them into a script. Would a script be a better solution for normal people? Still no output, though. -- You received this bug notification

A stack trace would not help in the free() because it's a delayed effect from earlier heap corruption. All - Please try this to produce a better crash report that will help us find the root cause of the problem: env MALLOC_CHECK_=3 G_SLICE=always-malloc unity --replace ** Changed in:
