Public bug reported: When I close my laptop lid and re-open, gnome-settings-daemon segfaults. I saw similar bugs filed, but on much older versions of this software, so sorry if this is a dupe. When this service crashes I get an odd icon set and my terminals go from a black background to a grey one.
I don't have another system to ssh into this one with so I cannot tell whether the crash occurs when I close the lid or when I re-open it. I have a fresh install of 11.10 with the most recent updates applied. This is what my syslog looks like: syslog.1:Nov 2 16:33:33 caprica kernel: [ 4512.953782] unity-panel-ser[6351]: segfault at 1c ip 00007fe9aa851235 sp 00007fffe18d6bf0 error 4 in libgdk-3.so.0.200.0[7fe9aa822000+77000] syslog.1:Nov 2 16:33:37 caprica kernel: [ 4516.372616] unity-panel-ser[6583]: segfault at 1c ip 00007f8cbc3c7235 sp 00007fff0fe1c560 error 4 in libgdk-3.so.0.200.0[7f8cbc398000+77000] syslog.1:Nov 2 17:01:32 caprica kernel: [ 6189.109542] gnome-settings-[5750]: segfault at 18 ip 00007f407a7269f9 sp 00007fff55cc7970 error 4 in libgnome-desktop-3.so.2.0.1[7f407a712000+27000] syslog.1:Nov 2 17:06:50 caprica kernel: [ 6196.639162] gnome-settings-[10477]: segfault at 18 ip 00007fa13653e9f9 sp 00007fffb99358c0 error 4 in libgnome-desktop-3.so.2.0.1[7fa13652a000+27000] syslog.1:Nov 2 17:11:07 caprica kernel: [ 6453.129728] gnome-control-c[11672]: segfault at 18 ip 00007fcb0a7b53c7 sp 00007fff76a00ea0 error 4 in libgtk-3.so.0.200.0[7fcb0a525000+442000] syslog.1:Nov 2 18:00:10 caprica kernel: [ 9391.187594] gnome-settings-[11334]: segfault at 18 ip 00007fb598bb29f9 sp 00007fff41409bd0 error 4 in libgnome-desktop-3.so.2.0.1[7fb598b9e000+27000] I have the proposed version installed but it did not solve this issue: gnome-settings-daemon: Installed: 3.2.1-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 3.2.1-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 3.2.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-proposed/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.2.0-0ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages I can work-around this by restarting gnome-settings-daemon manually.
