The gnome-disk-utility package installs gdu-notification-daemon which aborts (and core dumps) when logging in. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new user using Gnome as its default window manager. 2. Login to new user. 3. Core dump appears in home directory. Actual Results: gdu-notification-daemon core dumps. Stack trace: Core was generated by `/usr/libexec/gdu-notification-daemon'. Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted. #0 0xb7732424 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) bt #0 0xb7732424 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb673b471 in *__GI_raise (sig=6) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:64 #2 0xb673cbb2 in *__GI_abort () at abort.c:92 #3 0xb68db83b in IA__g_assertion_message (domain=0xb76e16b8 "libgdu", file=0xb76e16fc "gdu-pool.c", line=2459, func=0xb76e25dd "gdu_pool_get_devices", message=0x8096058 "assertion failed: (pool != NULL)") at gtestutils.c:1318 #4 0xb68db89e in IA__g_assertion_message_expr (domain=0xb76e16b8 "libgdu", file=0xb76e16fc "gdu-pool.c", line=2459, func=0xb76e25dd "gdu_pool_get_devices", expr=0xb76e1f09 "pool != NULL") at gtestutils.c:1329 #5 0xb76c4144 in gdu_pool_get_devices (pool=0x0) at gdu-pool.c:2459 #6 0x0804b780 in update_unmount_dialogs (data=0x80784d8) at notification-main.c:317 #7 0x0804afe5 in update_all (data=0x80784d8) at notification-main.c:81 #8 0x0804c3a5 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfbaaa94) at notification-main.c:701 Expected Results: New user logins and the gdu-notification-daemon should work and not core dump. The problem appears to be gdu_pool_get_devices is passed a NULL argument. Easy to prevent and patch. There may be a further upstream problem with the default gnome configuration process (circa gnome-2.30) which could be addressed which would prevent the NULL argument from being passed to gdu_pool_get_devices. Perhaps relevant -- the system does have remote NFS file systems mounted. No problems with df displaying the NFS file systems or find searching them. Its entirely a Gnome problem.
