after loging in to terminal via CTRL+ALT+F1 my xsession gets lost and X is in the login screen. it happened to me a few times. /var/log/messages: Dec 13 22:34:29 kernel: xfce4-session[11876]: segfault at ffffffff00000000 ip 00007fe74017ccd7 sp 00007fff9e3a6200 error 5 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.4[7fe740118000+127000] Dec 13 22:34:29 lxdm-binary: pam_unix(lxdm:session): session closed for user incognito Dec 13 22:34:29 polkitd[9892]: Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session5 (system bus name :1.45, object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus) Dec 13 22:34:29 kernel: xfsettingsd[11892]: segfault at 4 ip 00007f8a5af6a9e8 sp 00007fffec3d3b20 error 6 in libSM.so.6.0.1[7f8a5af68000+7000] Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.have xfce 4.10 installed 2. try to login to terminal in CTRL+ALT+F1 3. does happen only ocassionaly Actual Results: segfault Expected Results: no segfault i have also find a similar case here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7461542.html and archlinux is having same issues here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34980 the workaround for them is to downgrade these: glib2-2.36.1-1-x86_64 glibmm-2.36.0-1-x86_64 to v2.34...
Happens to me as well, usually after hitting Alt+F2 and running something. xfce4-session[2451]: segfault at ffffffff00000000 ip 00007f8baa67f65f sp 00007fffb0f065b0 error 5 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.4[7f8baa61b000+124000] dev-libs/glib-2.36.4-r1 xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.10.0-r1
I'm also getting this; fairly infrequently....maybe once a week but it's still bloody annoying. [64307.796843] xfce4-session[14330]: segfault at ffffffff00000000 ip 00007f01c211750f sp 00007fffca846ee0 error 5 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.4[7f01c20b1000+127000] I'd downgrade until it's fixed, but there seem to be at least 15 packages that depend explicitly on glib version 2.63.4 (and then packages that depend on THOSE packages) and I'm not ready to sit down and figure out everything I'd need to mask.
Installing unstable xfce4-session (xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.10.1) handles this. I have been running my system without crashes for a week now.
Please post your `emerge --info xfce-base/xfce4-session' output in a comment.
Also, please note I was not experiencing crashes while changing TTY. I was experiencing crashes (xfce4-session segfault error in libglib) when launching Firefox and Thunar. See Bug URL: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7461542.html.

I understand that, I expressed myself in wrong way. I just wanted to indicate that I was one who started that topic on forum which gathered couple more people having same problem with xfce4-session crash. > > (In reply to Erik Dobak from comment #0) > > after loging in to terminal via CTRL+ALT+F1 my xsession gets lost and X is > > in the login screen. it happened to me a few times. > > This is the bug as it was reported. I had same crash, but not while changing TTY. I am sorry if it was wrong to post here, but I decided to comment on this bug because I had similar problem with xfce4-session which was crashing. Probably it is the same bug, but invoked in different way. Compare log messages - they look very similar: Erik Dobbak's crash: > xfce4-session[11876]: segfault at ffffffff00000000 ip 00007fe74017ccd7 sp > 00007fff9e3a6200 error 5 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.4[7fe740118000+127000] Mine: xfce4-session[26258]: segfault at ffffffff00000000 ip 00007fb268a7550f sp 00007fff15ac6ab0 error 5 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.4[7fb268a0f000+127000]
