I don't know why the original reporter filed a bug against Ubuntu, when he or she is not using Ubuntu, but I've taken the liberty to re-open the bug since I can confirm the problem exists on Ubuntu 13.10, running under GNOME 3. (Wireshark starts normally, then hangs when switching to packet dump view.)
The above-mentioned LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR work-around resolves the issue, so it might be related to #1208583, although I don't see an actual crash (only a hang), and it happens consistently for me. Although the "overlay-scrollbar" component appears implicated, I have not observed the problem in other applications than Wireshark. ** Description changed: - I run wireshark in terminal and collected log: + Wireshark hangs, emitting an infinite supply of error messages like the + following: (wireshark:12520): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_range_get_adjustment: assertion 'GTK_IS_RANGE (range)' failed (wireshark:12520): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to 'GtkOrientable' (wireshark:12520): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_orientable_get_orientation: assertion 'GTK_IS_ORIENTABLE (orientable)' failed (wireshark:12520): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to 'GtkScrollbar' (wireshark:12520): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to 'GtkWidget' (wireshark:12520): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to 'GObject' (wireshark:12520): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_get_qdata: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (wireshark:12520): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_name: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (wireshark:12520): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to 'GObject' (wireshark:12520): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set_qdata_full: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (wireshark:12520): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to 'GtkRange' - Info about my system: + ---------------- - oleg@ALT071:~$ uname -a - Linux ALT071 3.12.0-031200-generic #201311031935 SMP Mon Nov 4 00:36:54 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux + $ cat /etc/lsb-release + DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu + DISTRIB_RELEASE=13.10 + DISTRIB_CODENAME=saucy + DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 13.10" - Info about my wireshrak-packadge: + $ uname -a + Linux sjl 3.11.0-15-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 30 17:25:07 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux - Version 1.11.1+svn53025 (SVN Rev Unknown from unknown) + $ dpkg-query -W wireshark + wireshark 1.10.2-1 + + $ wireshark --version + wireshark 1.10.2 (SVN Rev 51934 from /trunk-1.10) Copyright 1998-2013 Gerald Combs <ger...@wireshark.org> and contributors.
