While looking through this, I realize there was another library that it would be good to have debug symbols for, libvte9, so I installed the debug symbols for that, reproduced the crash and attached the trace here.
The last trace within gnome-terminal before it goes off to the libraries is this one: #9 0x000000000042460d in terminal_screen_realize (widget=0x9de0f0) at terminal-screen.c:301 priv = 0x9ded60 If we look at the code after this line in terminal-screen.c we get - 301 GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (terminal_screen_parent_class)->realize (widget); 302 303 /* FIXME: Don't enable this if we have a compmgr. */ The terminal_screen_realize function has six statements. Before the last two is this Fixme comment. So I guess that this has been a problem is already known, or at least, this has been a problem for something similar before. ** Attachment added: "More robust trace - with libvte9 debug as well" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/620522/+attachment/1512258/+files/gdb-gnome-terminal.txt ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- gnome-terminal crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_is_value_type() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/620522 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
