I am not sure that this is the correct bug for me. I only comment here because apport sent me to bug #969393, which is a duplicate of this bug.
I was copying a partition to another with gparted on my external USB drive. This must have created a bottleneck (neither on the cpu nor with swap). As a consequence my desktop became unresponsive. Every window greyed out from time to time including the active one. To investigate the problem i switched to tty1 with ctrl-alt-F1. When I came back to my graphical desktop, apport reported this internal error of ubuntu. Aside from the unresponsiveness only my name in the indicator got wrong. It now shows [invalid UTF-8]. I hope, this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969360 Title: unity-panel-service crashed due to heap corruption in g_free() from service_proxy_name_changed() [libindicator/indicator-service- manager.c:574] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libindicator/+bug/969360/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
