** Description changed: + [ Original Description ] + Hi, I'm Gaël Bonithon from Xfce, I'm the maintainer of xfce4-panel. It appears that you updated glib to 2.80 on Ubuntu 24.04, but left xfce4-panel at 4.18.4. However, a patch released in xfce4-panel 4.18.6 is required when using glib 2.80: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/commit/87d0bb94602021921cdb2692837714a24be7623a Without it, xfce4-panel and wrapper-2.0 crash on exit (SIGABRT), with this type of log: GLib-GObject:ERROR:../../../gobject/gtypemodule.c:119:g_type_module_finalize: assertion failed: (module->type_infos == NULL) Bail out! GLib-GObject:ERROR:../../../gobject/gtypemodule.c:119:g_type_module_finalize: assertion failed: (module->type_infos == NULL) See also https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=17446 So please upgrade xfce4-panel to 4.18.6. Thanks! + + [ Impact ] + + * xfce4-panel and wrapper-2.0 crash on exit with glib 2.80. + + * The upstream patch resolves the issue introduced in glib 2.80 from + 2.79: + + Fix memory management of GTypeModules + Finalizing a module containing types and/or interfaces implementations + is no longer possible as of glib 2.79.0.

No additional problems are to be introduced. + + [ Other Info ] + + * While the issue is considered lower priority, it is still a source of + frustration for our users and reduces confidence in Xubuntu. We would + like to move quickly to testing and release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064846 Title: xfce4-panel 4.18.4 in noble broken with glibc 2.80 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/2064846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi everyone, Apologies for the delay. We will begin the SRU process on this bug shortly.

hello, i hope that every package and distro maintainer understands, that people HATE linux because of issues like these. because there's something constantly broken and not getting fixed for months - or - something breaks after the next udpate and needs complicated workarounds or fixation to make it work again. i'm really getting depressed when i see something like this. and i'm so tired, as it's the same fatiguing tinkering some of the linux userbase seem to happily waste their time with. but some people only want nothing more but a functional operating system, where at least all basic components run stable without quirks or hours of googling. this is the 5th (!) bug now i hit in only 24hrs. for the last 24hrs i want nothing more but getting linux installed on an older PC to give it away so some linux newbie - and each of those bugs i hit either preventing reliable operation or are some major annoyance, nagging the user over and over again. how can linux be ever successful on the desktop when even the most basic things are broken for months ? sorry to tell, but it really really sucks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064846 Title: xfce4-panel 4.18.4 in noble broken with glibc 2.80 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/2064846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

"If I'm not mistaken then it should be possible to 'tell' the crash reporter that it needn't notify the user of the same problem over and over again (I seem to remember seeing such an option on a Xubuntu system recently). This seems like a smart thing to do." That's what I did.

It seems that the reasonable thing to do at the moment is wait. It may take quite some time for the package to be upgraded considering the harmlessness of the bug*. As has been said before, one might build the new package themselves. However, just like others have pointed out, I'm also not sure it'd be worth the hassle. If I'm not mistaken then it should be possible to 'tell' the crash reporter that it needn't notify the user of the same problem over and over again (I seem to remember seeing such an option on a Xubuntu system recently). This seems like a smart thing to do. *while I'm not aware of any usability problems caused by this bug, it has to be said that new users in particular may find it daunting to be greeted by the crash reporter over and over again & I agree that it can be annoying. Just look at the big picture and consider all the bugs that need attention. That'll put things in perspective. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064846 Title: xfce4-panel 4.18.4 in noble broken with glibc 2.80 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/2064846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Since I see that this is only a crash on exit, marking this as medium. Clearly it doesn't seem to block use of the Xubuntu desktop as Xubuntu 24.04 (and 24.04.1) released with this bug present. Reverting a no-change rebuild is not an option.
