I booted Fedora 10 on the first machine and I can't repro the issue there. However, it seemed that "gdmsetup" isn't available on Fedora. However, after some fiddling I found out that I can also repro the bug on the intrepid machine by repeated by running the command "strace system-config-printer" and of course system-config-printer is indeed available under Fedora. Even though the intrepid machine froze up after running "strace system-config-printer" less than 20 times in a row, the Fedora machine just keeps going even if I run it like over 30 times.
However, interestingly enough the Fedora machine reports that strace crashes due to some memory corruption detected by glibc: lstat("/usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/devices/printer.png", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=516, ...}) = 0 lstat("/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/devices/printer.png", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1070, ...}) = 0 select(5, [4], [4], NULL, NULL) = 1 (out [4]) writev(4, [{"<\2\2\0001\0\0\3\225\4\5\0002\0\0\0030\0\0\3&\0\0\0\0\0\0\0006\4\2\0000"..., 4068}], 1) = 4068 read(4, 0x1882ef4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) select(5, [4], [4], NULL, NULL) = 1 (out [4]) writev(4, [{""..., 0}, {"\22\0004\0229\0\0\3\357\0\0\0\6\0\0\0 \1\310\0.\22\0\0\26\0\0\0\26\0\0\0\0"..., 16384}, {"\266\275\272\377\266\275\272\377\266\275\272\377\266\275\272\377\266\275\272\377\266\275\272\377\266\275\272\377\266\275\272\377\266"..., 2256}], 3) = 18640 shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, 393216, IPC_CREAT|0600) = 8749071 shmat(8749071, 0, 0) = ? *** glibc detected *** strace: malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0000000001864460 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6[0x6cde98] /lib64/libc.so.6[0x6d1531] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_malloc+0x98)[0x6d2a08] strace[0x408728] strace[0x40598e] strace[0x404696] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6)[0x674546] strace[0x401e69] ======= Memory map: ======== 00110000-00130000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 32773 /lib64/ld-2.9.so 0032f000-00330000 r--p 0001f000 fd:00 32773 /lib64/ld-2.9.so 00330000-00331000 rw-p 00020000 fd:00 32773 /lib64/ld-2.9.so 00400000-00447000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 163841 /usr/bin/strace 00647000-00648000 rw-p 00047000 fd:00 163841 /usr/bin/strace 00648000-00656000 rw-p 00648000 00:00 0 00656000-007be000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 32780 /lib64/libc-2.9.so 007be000-009be000 ---p 00168000 fd:00 32780 /lib64/libc-2.9.so 009be000-009c2000 r--p 00168000 fd:00 32780 /lib64/libc-2.9.so 009c2000-009c3000 rw-p 0016c000 fd:00 32780 /lib64/libc-2.9.so 009c3000-009c8000 rw-p 009c3000 00:00 0 009c8000-009de000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 32770 /lib64/libgcc_s-4.3.2-20081105.so.1 009de000-00bde000 ---p 00016000 fd:00 32770 /lib64/libgcc_s-4.3.2-20081105.so.1 00bde000-00bdf000 rw-p 00016000 fd:00 32770 /lib64/libgcc_s-4.3.2-20081105.so.1 01864000-01885000 rw-p 01864000 00:00 0 [heap] 7f2de4000000-7f2de4021000 rw-p 7f2de4000000 00:00 0 7f2de4021000-7f2de8000000 ---p 7f2de4021000 00:00 0 7f2deaa44000-7f2deaa46000 rw-p 7f2deaa44000 00:00 0 7f2deaa53000-7f2deaa55000 rw-p 7f2deaa53000 00:00 0 7ffff2a3f000-7ffff2a54000 rw-p 7ffffffea000 00:00 0 [stack] 7ffff2bfe000-7ffff2bff000 r-xp 7ffff2bfe000 00:00 0 [vdso] ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vsyscall] select(Aborted [liveu...@localhost Desktop]$ -- system locks up when running "strace gdmsetup" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336771 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
