Hello william, or anyone else affected, Accepted upower into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upower/0.99.4-2ubuntu0.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: upower (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upower in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1546641 Title: unity-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in up_exported_daemon_get_lid_is_closed() Status in Upower: Unknown Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in upower package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity-settings-daemon source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in upower source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in unity-settings-daemon source package in Yakkety: Triaged Status in upower source package in Yakkety: Fix Released Bug description: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/8ca9c548fc4e2fc1d4bf827bbd85c72df59313f8 Ubuntu 16.04 crashes immediately on login. Default settings not applied and appearance is a bit ugly (incorrect font hinting, in- window menus etc). SRU TEST CASE (upower) ---------------------- On affected machines, unity-settings-daemon crashes immediately on login, as due to a kernel bug upowerd takes a very long time to start. With the fixed package the crash is fixed. Power status information will still be wrong, but at least theme, hotkeys, and all other unity-settings-daemon functionality will work. This can be synthetically tested with: DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS=foo upower --dump With the current xenial version this causes a segfault, while with the fix you get a proper error message. Fix: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/commit/?id=932a6a39e3 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/commit/?id=4e83fabac (The second one is not crucial, but provides a much better failure mode for the "upower" CLI tool). Regression potential: This changes the core behaviour of libupower. The patch is carefully written to be backwards compatible to the extent possible, but changing the behaviour is necessary to fix this bug (see commit log for details). Thus clients such as unity-control- center, unity-settings-daemon, or mate-power-manager should be tested as part of the verification. --- ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-6.21-generic 4.4.1 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-6-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CrashCounter: 1 Date: Wed Feb 17 13:52:13 2016 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/unity-settings-daemon/unity-settings-daemon InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-02-08 (8 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Alpha amd64 (20160205) ProcCmdline: /usr/lib/unity-settings-daemon/unity-settings-daemon ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=pt_BR:pt:en PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/false SegvAnalysis: Segfault happened at: 0x3aae60fe69 <up_exported_daemon_get_lid_is_closed+9>: mov (%rbx),%rdi PC (0x3aae60fe69) ok source "(%rbx)" (0x00000000) not located in a known VMA region (needed readable region)! destination "%rdi" ok SegvReason: reading NULL VMA Signal: 11 SourcePackage: unity-settings-daemon StacktraceTop: up_exported_daemon_get_lid_is_closed () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libupower-glib.so.3 gsd_power_manager_start () from /usr/lib/unity-settings-daemon-1.0/libpower.so ??
