Title:
gsd-smartcard: segfault on startup
Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
A smartcard reader attached to the computer on startup, containing a
non-standard smartcard (in this case an NXP AV3 SAM card) causes gsd-
smartcard to segfault and restart 200 times after login.
System Info:
This is Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS at Kernel 5.19.0-38-generic
The Smart Card reader is an Identiv uTrust 4711 F with both SAM and
Contactless slots
The system is an HP ZBook Firefly 14 G7
Detailed issue:
When the smartcard reader is plugged into the system, and an NXP SAM AV3 card
is inserted into the physical smartcard slot, upon login several (5) Ubuntu
Error report windows will open asking to report a crash. The reader lights will
flicker for about 5 minutes until they finally stop. No other issues are seen
with the system during this time.
Upon looking at /var/log/syslog, the errors listed in the attachment
are visible as it appears gsd-smartcard is in a loop of restarting and
crashing following an error.
/var/crash contains two files from the crash loop,
_usr_libexec_gsd_smartcard.1000.crash and
_usr_libexec_gsd_smartcard_127.crash
Eventually the crashes seem to stop and the light stops flickering,
but a logout and log back in will restart the issue again, as will
rebooting the machine. Re-plugging the device while logged in does not
seem to cause it to start the crash loop again.
To complete the standard questions:
1. I logged into my computer and saw error messages
2. I expected the smart card to be ignored if there was a card inserted that
was unexpected or incompatible with the gnome settings daemon
3. I encountered several crash reporter messages upon logging in, which seem
to have come from the gsd-smartcard program
