It was started automatically at 7:38, and it didn't crash: Jun 4 07:38:09 xvii dbus[2041]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.ColorManager' (using servicehelper) Jun 4 07:38:09 xvii dbus[2041]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.ColorManager' and is still running (also with colord-sane, which was started during the boot): colord 2606 1 0 Jun03 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/colord/colord-sane colord 14565 1 0 07:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/colord/colord I don't know why it was started automatically. It could be related to cron.daily, which was run at 7:35, but I haven't seen any cron script related to colord. Note that colord-sane also crashed in a few occasions, but only when shuting down (segfault at 9 ip 00007f6bf755c54c sp 00007f6bf7532b78 error 6 in libdbus-1.so.3.7.0), and not always (?); that's bug 668225 (though this bug report doesn't say when). The colord crash seems always reproducible at boot time: [...] Jun 3 15:45:16 xvii dbus[2027]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.ColorManager' (using servicehelper) Jun 3 15:45:17 xvii dbus[2027]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.UPower' (using servicehelper) Jun 3 15:45:18 xvii dbus[2027]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.UPower' Jun 3 15:45:18 xvii dbus[2027]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.ColorManager' Jun 3 15:45:18 xvii dbus[2027]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.colord-sane' (using servicehelper) Jun 3 15:45:19 xvii dbus[2027]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.colord-sane' Jun 3 15:45:21 xvii anacron[2740]: Anacron 2.3 started on 2012-06-03 [... other boot messages ...] Jun 3 15:45:31 xvii kernel: [ 79.418342] colord[2601]: segfault at 8 ip 000000000040bc6d sp 00007fff9e09b880 error 4 in colord[400000+20000] [...] [...] Jun 3 19:50:45 xvii dbus[2027]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.ColorManager' (using servicehelper) Jun 3 19:50:45 xvii dbus[2027]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.ColorManager' Jun 3 19:50:46 xvii kernel: [14794.218978] colord[15567]: segfault at 8 ip 000000000040bc6d sp 00007fff376633e0 error 4 in colord[400000+20000] [...] [...] Jun 3 19:53:02 xvii dbus[2032]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.ColorManager' (using servicehelper) Jun 3 19:53:02 xvii dbus[2032]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.ColorManager' Jun 3 19:53:03 xvii dbus[2032]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.colord-sane' (using servicehelper) Jun 3 19:53:03 xvii dbus[2032]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.colord-sane' [... other boot messages ...] Jun 3 19:53:18 xvii kernel: [ 79.669036] colord[2593]: segfault at 8 ip 000000000040bc6d sp 00007fff8e9a4fa0 error 4 in colord[400000+20000] [...] [...] Jun 3 19:56:02 xvii dbus[2041]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.ColorManager' (using servicehelper) Jun 3 19:56:03 xvii dbus[2041]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.ColorManager' Jun 3 19:56:03 xvii dbus[2041]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.colord-sane' (using servicehelper) Jun 3 19:56:04 xvii dbus[2041]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.colord-sane' [... other boot messages ...] Jun 3 19:56:20 xvii kernel: [ 83.404173] colord[2601]: segfault at 8 ip 000000000040bc6d sp 00007fff2d03ff70 error 4 in colord[400000+20000] [...] -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
