Title:
GDM crashes when Sugar session is selected
Status in “sugar-0.88” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in “sugar-0.88” source package in Lucid:
Triaged
Status in “sugar-0.88” package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
*** START SRU INFO ***
This package causes GDM to crash as-is. The fix is to add a comment to the
.desktop file. This is not fixed in Maverick, but the fix has been well-tested
and will be included in the next Debian version of the package. slangasek on
IRC said he didn't see a problem with uploading this without fixing it in
Maverick first.
** TEST CASE **
Install sugar-0.88. Switch to GDM. Select a user, and select "Sugar" as the
session.
OLD BEHAVIOR: GDM should crash, disappearing from the screen.
NEW BEHAVIOR: The option is selected.
*** END SRU INFO ***
I installed Sugar, and the session is properly listed as an option from GDM,
but as soon as I select that session with the combo box GDM immediately
crashes. This does not happen for any other sessions and occurs all the time
for me.
I poked through the system log and the following stood out:
Mar 19 17:30:45 dylan-netbook gdm-session-worker[1439]:
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN

The fact that GDM is crashing is being filed as a separate bug.
