As for the crash dumps, I don't have them. There seem to be many attachments posted in the duplicate bugs, but no crash dumps there either.
Anyway, don't take my word for it. The problem is solved in my particular case. If the bug is still there when people start upgrading for real, then they're going to let you know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1269731 Title: init crashed with SIGSEGV Status in Upstart: Fix Released Status in “alsa-utils” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: $ telinit U ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: upstart 1.11-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.12.0-8.16-generic 3.12.6 Uname: Linux 3.12.0-8-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.13.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Jan 16 08:03:58 2014 ExecutablePath: /sbin/init ExecutableTimestamp: 1384521990 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-12-22 (389 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120823.1) ProcCmdline: /sbin/init ProcCwd: / ProcEnviron: TERM=linux PATH=(custom, no user) ProcKernelCmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.12.0-8-generic root=UUID=8905185c-9d82-498c-970c-6fdb9ee07c45 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SegvAnalysis: Segfault happened at: 0x7f1191eb98d9: mov 0x20(%rax),%rsi PC (0x7f1191eb98d9) ok source "0x20(%rax)" (0x00000020) not located in a known VMA region (needed readable region)! destination "%rsi" ok SegvReason: reading NULL VMA Signal: 11 SourcePackage: upstart StacktraceTop: ??
