I backported version 1.0 from mavric (just a simple source download and build), and I didn't get this error, I got a different error. Unfortunately ubuntu-bug said the package wasn't from ubuntu so it wasn't easy for me to add data to Launchpad about the new failure.
First I downloaded the three source files into a directory by themselves, then I ran: $ dpkg-source -x gtkpod_1.0.0-0ubuntu1.dsc $ cd gtkpod-1.0.0/ $ dpkg-buildpackage -b $ dpkg -i ../*.deb After running gtkpod and extracting the files, it seemed gdb showed: gtkpod: ../../src/xcb_io.c:249: process_responses: Assertion `(((long) (dpy->last_request_read) - (long) (dpy->request)) <= 0)' failed. Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. [Switching to Thread 0x7fffe27fc700 (LWP 9684)] 0x00007ffff4794a75 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 I still want to check the source code to see if the relevant part was made thread safe, or I just didn't hit the race condition before hitting this other bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512964 Title: gtkpod crashes with SIGSEGV in gdk_window_set_geometry_hints -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
