That is highly likely unrelated to the log messages we're talking about. Please ensure your two issues have two different bug reports. ** Also affects: gdm via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792236 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug

It would be an easy fix if the assertion message printed the backtrace of the apps calling in glib. I wonder if the system packages are compiled in RelWithDbgInfo by default, so that a stacktrace would be useful in release for fixing bugs like this. I wonder if there's a way to extend G_DEBUG

According to the Logs application, the sender of the message was gdm3, so it seemed a reasonable guess. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1740522 Title: GLib:
