Matt, how reproducible is this? What steps can I take to reproduce it? Looking through the stack trace shows: - The Cairo context is NULL - This only seems possible if the background pixmap is NULL - The background pixmap only seems to be able to be NULL if a connection to the X server was not possible (in gnome-desktop-2.32.1/libgnome-desktop/gnome-bg.c:make_root_pixmap()).
These event should have triggered some g_warnings, which I would have expected to show in ~/.xsession-errors and maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Matt, could you reproduce and attach the above two logs? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661283 Title: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in cairo_set_source_surface() -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
