** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Notification area applet might crash when some apps with indicators support + send it some signals it doesn't know how to handle. + + The patch attached to this report fixes the issue. + + The fix is already present in Artful and tested by developers and users. + Would be nice to backport it to Zesty as well, as the bug makes notification + area unusable. + + [Test Case] + + Just install and run psensor, should be enough to trigger the crash. + Might need baremetal system for it, not guaranteed to be reproducible in VM. + + [Regression Potential] + + None. The patch just replaces assert (i.e. app abort) with a debug + message. + + [Other Info] + + The patch is included into the debdiff attached to bug 1675888. + + The debdiff contains patches to fix bug 1675888, bug 1676840, bug 1690517, + bug 1695648. See other reports for the corresponding SRU templates. + + Note that the debdiff attached to bug 1690517 is a separate one for + Artful. + + [Original Description] + The current version of mate-panel in zesty can be crashed with unknown signals from indicator applets (such as winswitch, psensor).
