I successfully reproduced the original bug on the installed Natty system (which was running appmenu-gtk 0.1.95-0ubuntu1, which I presume is the same version that was running on the daily live CD system that I used to test and install Natty earlier today). So I then enabled your PPA and installed the PPA version of appmenu-gtk (0.1.95-0ubuntu1test2) and rebooted. Instead of the crash documented in this bug occurring, a new crash occurred instead, following the same pattern (i.e. I had try a number of times in order to produce a crash). That new crash was in invoke_get_all_properties_in_idle_cb() instead of g_object_set(). Like this crash, the new crash is also a segfault.
I don't know what the protocol is for conveying detailed crash data for crashes of experimental packages from unofficial PPA's in pursuit of a fix to an existing and reported bug in an official package. But I went ahead and let Apport report it, and I filled in the details and submitted the report on Launchpad. So the crash in appmenu-gtk 0.1.95-0ubuntu1test2 (from ppa:mterry/ppa) is reported as bug 729230, with apport-collected bug data and a thorough description. Even besides the files attached by Apport, slightly more information is presented in bug 729230 than in this comment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/729065 Title: gnome-display-properties crashed with SIGSEGV in g_object_set() -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
