*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1236351 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236351
I have tried debugging. My traceback from "thunderbird --debug" is pretty useless, so this is my experience + a seemingly fine workaround. I'm under the impression that the rest of the Thunderbird community does not experience this issues since there's no talk of it. However, since switching to 13.10 I've had segmentation faults CONSTANTLY. I'm using gnome-shell btw. I can mention at least 3 different things that have a 50-100% chance of crashing Thunderbird. I tried disabling all extensions, no luck. I tried also to disble all plugins systematically. Finally, I found the culprit. So my solution/workaround is: Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins -> Gnome Shell Integration -> DISABLE After this, I haven't seen the usual crashes, only a few "Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe." which seem to not kill the mail process. Can other reporters perhaps state if they are seeing an improvement from disabling the Gnome Shell Integration? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241573 Title: thunderbird crashed with SIGSEGV Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Up-to-date 13.10 install ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: thunderbird 1:24.0+build1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-12-generic i686 AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: jane 2099 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: jane 2099 F.... pulseaudio BrokenPermissions: extensions/{bde451f9-0fcb-2fcf-3b9b-626f1f37d6e5}/icon.png (0o400) extensions/{bde451f9-0fcb-2fcf-3b9b-626f1f37d6e5}/install.rdf (0o400) extensions/{bde451f9-0fcb-2fcf-3b9b-626f1f37d6e5}/preview.png (0o400) BuildID: 20130917155400 Channel: Unavailable Date: Fri Oct 18 14:06:58 2013 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird ForcedLayersAccel: False IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-06-18 (486 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20120423) IpRoute: default via 10.20.64.1 dev eth0 proto static 10.20.64.0/21 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.20.66.173 metric 1 10.20.64.0/21 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 10.20.66.147 metric 9 MarkForUpload: True PrefSources: prefs.js user.js [Profile]/extensions/{CC3C233D-6668-41bc-AAEB-F3A1D1D594F5}/defaults/preferences/mailredirect.js [Profile]/extensions/{847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5}/defaults/preferences/enigmail.js [Profile]/extensions/{a62ef8ec-5fdc-40c2-873c-223b8a6925cc}/defaults/preferences/preferences.js ProcCmdline: /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash Profiles: Profile0 (Default) - LastVersion=24.0/20130917155400 (In use) RelatedPackageVersions: google-talkplugin 4.7.0.0-1 adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.310-0raring1 totem-mozilla 3.8.2-0ubuntu1 rhythmbox-mozilla 2.99.1-0ubuntu1 RunningIncompatibleAddons: False Signal: 11 SourcePackage: thunderbird StacktraceTop: ??
