The -dbgsym package installs an alternate copy of the shotwell binary (in /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/shotwell) and this version contains full debug information. When you launch Shotwell normally I don't think it will affect performance. You can always uninstall the -dbgsym package when you're done though, just to keep the system clean.
Anyway, the strace log shows it's a SIGABRT and since the Shotwell log itself was so close I'm thinking maybe it's an assert that hits within some third-party library that Shotwell uses. While looking at your dpkg.txt I can see that you have custom versions of GTK/libgail and "gtk2-engines-pixbuf" installed. For example I have "libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-0ubuntu2" and you have "ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-0ubuntu2+menuproxy10". Do you remember what customizations this is and from what PPA or whatever it came? I wonder if maybe you're seeing these issues because you run some combination of packages which is not well tested. I'm just speculating though. On top of that I can also see that you have something called "libdee" installed. Which according to it's webpage is "a shared library that provides objects that help having multiple instances communicating over DBus". I don't think shotwell uses that library but it sounds like it screws around a bit with DBus and in light of the DBus error you saw earlier, maybe this is related in some obscure way. It's hard to get any more detailed info out of these logs. I think we really need to see the backtrace to move further. From the 0.6.1~lucid2 version number you stated I'm guessing you have installed Shotwell from their PPA. Unfortunately I don't think they have corresponding dbgsym packages in this PPA. Either you can build Shotwell from source and enable the -g flag (but this is actually pretty complicated and unless you're a developer I would not recommend that), or we could wait until Monday and see if one of the Yorba devs can comment on this bug. -- Shotwell crashes on clicking on sidebar options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604053 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
