Thank you in advance! ** Description changed: [Impact] Unity Greeter can crash when X clients create X windows. This results in Ubuntu going to failsafe mode. When an X window appears Unity Greeter receives a Map event. Unity Greeter attempts to get a GdkWindow object for the window in the event. If the window was destroyed before it does this it gets a NULL pointer. Unity Greeter did not check for this case. [Test Case] This is a bug that only occurs if windows rapidly appear and disappear. Can be verified on machines that are exhibiting the problem (perhaps linked to indicators failing to start). Check errors.ubuntu.com shows problem does not occur when fix applied. + [Errors Bucket] + https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=/usr/sbin/unity-greeter%3A11%3Agdk_window_get_type_hint%3Aunity_greeter_focus_upon_map%3A_unity_greeter_focus_upon_map_gdk_filter_func%3Agdk_event_apply_filters%3Agdk_event_source_translate_event [Regression Potential] Low, the change just checks for the NULL pointer and ignores the map event. ** Changed in: unity-greeter (Ubuntu Precise) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048131 Title: unity-greeter crashed with SIGSEGV in gdk_window_get_type_hint() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1048131/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
