Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
In dapper shares-admin crashes on launch. The error messages vary, but usually a window appears with a spinning wheel and the contents greyed out. On one occasion, while trying to launch shares-admin as non-root, a password dialogue appeared, but after I entered the password it crashed anyway. This is what happened as I tried to launch shares-admin several times as non-root, via sudo and as root: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ shares-admin [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ shares-admin *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x10381ad0 *** Aborted [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo shares-admin Password: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x102e0078 *** Aborted [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ su Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/robert# shares-admin *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x102afe18 *** Aborted [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/robert# shares-admin Segmentation fault [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/robert# exit exit [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ shares-admin Segmentation fault [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo shares-admin *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x102afe18 *** Aborted [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ I then tried to launch a different build of the program on another machine with a gentoo installation (compiled with gcc-4.11 or something) and I got yet another set of errors, namely: *** glibc detected *** shares-admin: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0823e050 *** and *** glibc detected *** shares-admin: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0823e540 *** (this last error repeated twice). ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Needs Info -- shares-admin crashes on launch https://launchpad.net/bugs/60851 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
