I have a recipe. After much observation and trial & error. I have a recipe to get console-kit-daemon to segfault every time on my machine. First off -- use su and not sudo for what follows.
open an xterm, su and attach a an strace to it just so you can rejoice when you see it fall down. strace -p <pid> ; cp /var/run/Consolekit/* /tmp open another xterm -- do not su - from this xterm open additional xterm's like so: xterm -geometry 20x10 & open 9 or 10 of them. - now go thru and "su" in all of the open xterms. - Next go thru and close each window one by one by using the close button in the upper right corner -- by the time you get to the forth or fifth window -- console-kit-daemon will have segfault'ed for you. oh joy! -- console-kit-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in g_str_hash() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269651 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
