Have just reproduced this bug here with Ubuntu Touch running on an emulator. When it happened, I was interacting with the upstart session bus from the commandline. I ran 'initctl list | grep app' to get the pid for an instance of the application-click job, so that I could manually kill it instead of having to construct the 'stop' command with all of the variables etc. So then I ran 'kill $pid', and saw that the process didn't immediately die, so sent 'kill -9 $pid'.
Then I checked 'initctl list' output again and saw that the job was in the post-stop script. Then I checked 'initctl list' again, and found that the connection was refused on the dbus socket because the upstart session init had died. My backtrace matches that of Saviq in comment #12 (i.e., nothing interesting before the nih_unref() call). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1222705 Title: init assert failure: alloc.c:633: Assertion failed in nih_unref: ref != NULL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/1222705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
