Title: metacity crashed with signal 5 in XGetWindowAttributes() Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This began when I upgraded to 16.10, it always happens when using Gimp under Gnome-flashback. Occasionally it happens with other apps too. The quickest way to reproduce is to open up an image in Gimp, select all, copy and then exit. That's when Metacity crashes. The bad part is, if I don't run 'metacity --replace' before launching gimp, it causes the entire session to quit and go back to the login screen. (I know why it does that, but there should be some better error handling there so people don't lose their work or any other in progress things, at least with just metactity crashed there's a way of restarting metacity and keeping the current session, as well as the ability to save work in other applications before restarting) Ubuntu 16.10 Metacity 1:3.20.3-1ubuntu2 ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: metacity 1:3.20.3-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-26.28-generic 4.8.0 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-26-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME-Flashback:Unity Date: Mon Oct 31 21:57:27 2016 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/metacity ExecutableTimestamp: 1475585823 InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-12-09 (2154 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) ProcCmdline: metacity --replace ProcCwd: /home/kyle Signal: 5 SourcePackage: metacity StacktraceTop: XGetWindowAttributes (dpy=0x556f34ceed40, w=<optimized out>, attr=<optimized out>) at ../../src/GetWAttrs.c:149 () () () () Title: metacity crashed with signal 5 in XGetWindowAttributes() UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm audio cdrom dialout dip disk fax floppy fuse lpadmin netdev plugdev powerdev sambashare scanner sudo tape vboxusers video wireshark To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1638153/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
