I have a similar problem as described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1067414 I can confirm that the solution is to upgrade the accountservice packages. In my ppa https://launchpad.net/~dirk- computer42/+archive/c42-backport/+packages I provide a "no change" backport from raring to precise. Using this backport results in the following update: accountsservice (0.6.15-2ubuntu9.6 => 0.6.29-1ubuntu8~precise1~ppa1) gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 (0.6.15-2ubuntu9.6 => 0.6.29-1ubuntu8~precise1~ppa1) libaccountsservice0 (0.6.15-2ubuntu9.6 => 0.6.29-1ubuntu8~precise1~ppa1) Using this packages solves for me the problem. I suggest a backport of accountservice to precise to fix the problem in precise. As a preliminary workaround my ppa may be used.

** Description changed: - I noticed this in my logs. It's not obviously broken anything, but - segfaults are bad so I thought it worth reporting. + [Impact] + libaccountsservice contains a double free which under certain circumstances will cause accounts-daemon to segfault, and under other circumstances will cause gdm to segfault when a user account is added or removed. + + [Test case] + In a precise machine with kerberos authentication, adding a new user via "sudo adduser test" will cause an X session running under GDM to crash with a segfault. + + Once the patch is applied, running the same command line should not + affect a running X session. For the test to have value, the session + needs to have been started after the new accountsservice packages were + installed. + + [Possible regressions] + This is just one line removing a double free that has been applied upstream for 16 months, so the code itself should be fine. To be certain that everything is alright, not only gdm but also lightdm should be tested. + + [Original description] + I noticed this in my logs. It's not obviously broken anything, but segfaults are bad so I thought it worth reporting.
