Final note: the real problem is that I was running that VNC session as ***the same user logged in at the console*** - netbook-launcher segfaults if more than one instance of it is running ***as the same user***.
I created a separate user account on the machine for the VNC session (which is started from rc.local, independent of the console session), restarted, and all remains fine - no segfaults in /var/log/messages. ** Changed in: netbook-launcher (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- netbook-launcher segfault 404 error 4 in libGL.so.1.2 + const. restarting + 100%CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486058 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
