[Impact] GSmartControl segfaults on start while scanning devices, making the app useless. According to the upstream author, it happens due to using some incomplete data while rendering the icons (the device scan triggers that process).
The patch from the upstream commit fixes it, so it would be nice to add it to the stable release. [Test Plan] 1. Have Ubuntu MATE 20.04. 2. Add the official PPA for MATE 1.26 - ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/fresh-mate. 3. Update the packages that are built from src:mate-desktop and src:mate-settings-daemon to 1.26. These are enough for reproducing. Usually these should be mate-desktop, mate-desktop-common, libmate-desktop-2-17, gir1.2-matedesktop-2.0, mate-settings-daemon, mate-settings-daemon-common. 4. Log out and log in back. 5. Start GSmartControl. [Where problems could occur] In theory, if the logic to protect against using incomplete data happens to be over-protective in some situation, there might be some missing icons or menu items in the UI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1789454 Title: gsmartcontrol immediately crashes while running smartctl To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gsmartcontrol/+bug/1789454/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
