This has been fixed in 0.13 by: https://code.launchpad.net/~afrantzis/mir/fix-1441759-screencast/+merge/256942
The root cause of this issue and the screencast issue is the same, namely that under some circumstances the completion function for a client buffer request may be invoked asynchronously, but from the same thread that initiated the client buffer request (i.e. one of the IPC threads). Our code didn't handle this situation properly, causing either hangs or crashes. In this scenario the completion function is called in the IPC thread when the client closes the connection and tears down the app session (eventually calling BufferQueue::force_requests_to_complete()). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1454724 Title: Mir server crashed with SIGSEGV from close_session() when a client is killed suddenly Status in Mir: Fix Committed Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Am able to crash mir_proving_server (0.12.1 in archive) with the following: 1. sudo mir_proving_server& 2. sudo chmod 777 /tmp/mir_socket 3. export MIR_SOCKET=/tmp/mir_socket QT_QPA_PLATFORM="ubuntumirclient" 4. download http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11112825/ and save as test.qml 5. qmlscene test.qml 6. resize the client window quite a bit - i.e. make it 500x400 or similar 7.
