To further back borrell's case, running gedit under valgrind using the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind for some reason allows gedit to run normally.
If I launch gedit directly I can get it to crash every time, but the "G_DEBUG=gc-friendly" stops gedit from crashing for some reason. Attached is my valgrind log of gedit crashing (run without the "G_DEBUG =gc-friendly"). Here is the tasty bits: ==3686== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV) ==3686== General Protection Fault ==3686== at 0x75D8403: g_list_last (in /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.2104.0) ==3686== by 0x5E66720: gdk_window_process_updates (in /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1706.0) ==3686== by 0x59ED418: (within /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1706.0) ==3686== by 0x6F2467D: g_closure_invoke (in /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0.2104.0) ==3686== by 0x6F3A855: (within /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0.2104.0) ==3686== by 0x6F3BC9D: g_signal_emit_valist (in /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0.2104.0) ==3686== by 0x6F3C222: g_signal_emit (in /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0.2104.0) ==3686== by 0x584CF79: gtk_adjustment_value_changed (in /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1706.0) ==3686== by 0x59E91A4: (within /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1706.0) ==3686== by 0x59EDFE1: gtk_text_view_scroll_to_iter (in /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1706.0) ==3686== by 0x59EE141: (within /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1706.0) ==3686== by 0x59EE1AA: (within /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1706.0) ==3686== by 0x59EE1F8: (within /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1706.0) ==3686== by 0x5E40BD5: (within /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1706.0) ==3686== by 0x75DAA8D: g_main_context_dispatch (in /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.2104.0) ==3686== by 0x75DE457: (within /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.2104.0) ==3686== by 0x75DE8B4: g_main_loop_run (in /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.2104.0) ==3686== by 0x5922116: gtk_main (in /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1706.0) ==3686== by 0x42B806: main (in /usr/bin/gedit) ** Attachment added: "valgrind-logs-gedit.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29648828/valgrind-logs-gedit.tar.gz -- gedit crashed with SIGSEGV in IA__g_list_last() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401934 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
