OK, I think I know why this is happening, though I can't reproduce myself. I have uploaded gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.2-0ubuntu12 to quantal-proposed. I'd really appreciate testing by those that get this crash. I'm confident, but not certain I've got the right fix.
[Gory details if you happen to know the code] The idletime signals are firing after the power manager is stopped. idletime is a singleton that hands out references to itself every time it is 'created'. And stop() is expecting a mere unref() to disconnect the signals. But it doesn't if idletime has been reffed more times. So this patch manually disconnect the signals we set up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971353 Title: power : gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in gnome_rr_screen_get_dpms_mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/971353/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
