Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-session
This looks like a dup of #95832 wherein you ask for a more meaningful stack trace with reference to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash. My stack trace isn't any more meaningful but the problem with the aforementioned URL is that while it covers how to add the dbgsym repository it doesn't tell you how, given: (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/gnome-session-properties (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) Failed to read a valid object file image from memory. [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1226667824 (LWP 27740)] Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread -1226667824 (LWP 27740)] 0xb7810df8 in strcmp () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (gdb) where #0 0xb7810df8 in strcmp () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #1 0x080500a9 in startup_list_enable () #2 0x0804f738 in ??

() (gdb) how one knows *which* -dbgsym pacakges to install to given gdb the required symbols. I know apport has some ability to do this. It would be useful to add the apport way of adding the required packages and retracing to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash. The one problem with apport-retrace though is that it loads -dbgsym packages for all dependent packages which is usually overkill. Typically one only needs the -dbgsym packages for whatever libs are at the top of the stack trace. But given a backtrace like the above, how does one know which those are?
