Bug 345373 – gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon crashes when resuming from suspend

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Mathieu Z 2010-11-14 09:48:41 UTC]

gnome-settings-daemon crashes when resuming from suspend resulting in all gtk2 styling, icons, etc gone. If I am in a GNOME session and attempts to re-run it, it will crash the session as well. For testing purpose, I also try starting a minimal AwesomeWM session, runs /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon, then suspend:

$ /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon  # start at beginning of session
$ pgrep -fl gnome-settings-daemon     # It's running
28490 /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon
$ sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend           # suspend and resume
$ pgrep -fl gnome-settings-daemon     # the process crashed, pgrep outputs nothing 
$ /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon  # restart

There does not seem to be error message logged anywhere.

Reproducible: Always

What version are you using ? Could you try to provide us with a backtrace ?

...working on backtrace

Created attachment 254469 [details]
backtrace

enabling -ggdb for gnome-settings-daemon generated some backtrace. It doesn't exactly have a lot of information since there are no debugging symbols for gtk, glib etc, but it DOES show that the crash occurs during a call to some function in
/usr/lib64/gnome-settings-daemon-2.0/libpointing-device.so

This file belongs to gnome-extra/gpointing-device-settings. So I just un-emerged the package. And behold...no more crash!

So, while this resolves the problem, I am re-emerging gpointing-device-settings with debugging symbol and will post a new dump soon.
