James Hunt, I currently have a consistent way of reproducing this. First, I have both Chromium and Chrome installed as per below in a fresh+fully updated version of Trusty. Next I opened up Synaptic > typed in the Quick Filter textbox pepper > highlight pepperflashplugin-nonfree > click Visit Homepage and this consistently causes a _sbin_init.0.crash file to appear in var/crash.
For me, the WORKAROUND is just to simply not click the link as the problem has not been reproducible otherwise so far. For an example errors crash of this, please see https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/341b7c12-8f2f-11e4-b173-fa163e525ba7 . Let me know if this isn't enough information to reproduce and I can up the verbosity on my environment. apt-cache policy google-chrome-stable:i386 google-chrome-stable:i386: Installed: 39.0.2171.95-1 Candidate: 39.0.2171.95-1 Version table: *** 39.0.2171.95-1 0 500 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status apt-cache policy chromium-browser chromium-browser: Installed: 39.0.2171.65-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1064 Candidate: 39.0.2171.65-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1064 Version table: *** 39.0.2171.65-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1064 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 34.0.1847.116-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300235 Title: init crashed with SIGSEGV To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1300235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
