I have done this now and will see what happens.

CORFE (n.)
An object which is almost totally indistinguishable from a newspaper,
the one crucial difference being tat it belongs to somebody else and
is unaccountably much more interesting that your own - which may
otherwise appear to be in all respects identical. Though it is a rule
of life that a train or other public place may contain any number of
corfes but only one newspaper, it is quite possible to transform your
own perfectly ordinary newspaper into a corfe by the simple expedient
of letting somebody else read it.

Bug#656564: libglib2.0-0: since upgrade to 2.30.2-5 programs start segfaulting at random
reassign 656564 gnome-settings-daemon
severity serious
reassign 656762 gnome-session
severity serious
thanks
Dear all,
it seems there is a very bad interaction between gnome-session,
gnome-settings-daemon, and maybe glibc2.0.
First, gnome-settings-daemon is terminating on a regular basis:
gnome-settings-[3520]: segfault at 7f453c075140 ip 7f464659278e sp
7fffeb5f1120 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.2[7f464650b000+f6000]
Although I have recompiled glib2.0 without the last patches that
might have triggered this, it still does happen on a regular basis.
Triggered by this, gnome-session shows the Oh something went wrong
screen making it impossible to save work, although the session is
absolutely fine working, just the settings are not applied. I see
all the work I was doing in the overview of gnome-shell, but I cannot
save it.
These two things together create a situation that is a guarantee for
data loss.
Please work together to find a fix for this, I am open for testing,
patches, whatsoever.
Best wishes
Norbert

Btw, I can't really reproduce the issue, that a segfaulting gnome-settings-daemon causes the fail-whale to show up, that is the session is closed. I'm wondering if there is something else going on and this is is due to a special configuration/setup on your side. Can you reproduce the fail-whale on g-s-d segfaults with a fresh user account?

It does not happen *always*. I mean, the g-s-d *often crashes, but
only sometimes it is respawned too fast so that the fail whale shows
up.
i have *no* idea how the difference comes into being, though.

I will try.

Huu, haven't seen,will check b.d.o

Ok, I have now installed the -4 versions from testing, rebooted,
and still see the effect:
[ 400.36] gnome-settings-[3633]: segfault at 0238fd80 ip
7ff2b804b78e sp 76d448e0 error 4 in
libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.2[7ff2b7fc4000+f6000]
Unfortunately no gdb was attached (how doe sone do that?).
I will restart and hope it happens soon again.
So it seems to be a different thing! I checked the bug logs and
found that *always* there are some warnings about packagekit, aand
at the same time packagekit was updated from 0.7.1-2 - 0.7.2-1
which brought eg
- glib: Convert libpackagekit-glib2 from dbus-glib to GDBus
No idea if that could be the reason?!

Anything else?
- Install libglib2.0-0-dbg and libffi5-dbg and get a backtrace or a core

Where should I do that in the gnome-session path? /etc/profile?
