Sorry, I was feeling a little put upon at the moment. To reproduce this error open a session in Gnome fallback desktop, then open the standard console.
Enter one of: sudo syntapic or gksu syntapic After entering your password you should get this problem. The start up of syntapic seems to iterate over some loop that produces this message several times. I've been in computers for over 50 years and my experience tells me that ignoring things like this is a dangerous thing. Whoever was last assigned to this program did not do a thorough quality check and this kind of thing is disturbing with a program that needs to be utterly trusted. Now, the solution to this could be simply the removal of a bad assertion, or it might be worth tracking down why that assertion is there. Some item is, in the opinion of the programmer who put it there essential and incorrect. Putting an assertion in a loop certainly calls attention to it when it fails. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1199823 Title: A seemingly harmless assertion error, but ...
