[Bug 42712] Re: gdmsetup segfaults
I can confirm that the segfault was due to the absence of /etc/gdm/gdm .conf-custom after playing around with xgl/compiz. The instructions on the forums say that one should delete this file to disable xgl/compiz. It appears as mentioned above that removing this file causes gdmsetup to segfault. The solution is to restore the default /etc/gdm/gdm.conf- custom and reboot (or restart gdm). -- gdmsetup segfaults https://launchpad.net/bugs/42712 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 42712] Re: gdmsetup segfaults
As I said on my last post, I am not getting this issue anymore. I even tried to remove /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom and start gdmsetup. However, when I do that now, a new /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom is always created. gdmflexiserver --command="GET_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE" always returns /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom, funnily enough, even when /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom has been removed (running gdmsetup afterwards recreates the file). I am a bit puzzled about this one, but at least now I personally don't seem to be able to reproduce the bug. -- gdmsetup segfaults https://launchpad.net/bugs/42712 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 42712] Re: gdmsetup segfaults
comment from upstream: "Note the call to ve_config_get is being passed a NULL file pointer. This is odd. gdmsetup gets the configuration file names by calling these commands: gdmflexiserver --command="GET_CONFIG_FILE" gdmflexiserver --command="GET_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE" Are either of these commands returning NULL? They shouldn't unless you've, say, deleted /etc/gdm/custom.conf and /etc/gdm/gdm.conf from your system or something."

I take back what I said on my previous comment: > 2) After removing gdm.conf-custom, it does not get recreated. Even when > manually recreating it from backup, the bug still occurs. I don't seem to be getting this bug anymore. I don't know if it is related to the latest package updates or the fact that I manually recreated gdm.conf-custom. I must say, though, that when I did this yesterday (i.e. manually recreating gdm.conf-custom and restarting the X server) the bug could still be reproduced. -- gdmsetup segfaults https://launchpad.net/bugs/42712 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 42712] Re: gdmsetup segfaults
The common point might have been that we all have played with xgl/compiz at some point. ATM, I'm not using xgl/compiz (I uninstalled the repository packages) and my configuration files are back to what they were before trying them out. 1) The reason I personally don't have gdm.conf-custom is because I manually deleted it in order to get rid of Xgl/compiz, as suggested by this How-To from the forums: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131267 2) After removing gdm.conf-custom, it does not get recreated.

Thank you for your comments, I've forwarded the issue upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340864. It looks like the common point is that you don't have a /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom.
