Description Dave Jones 2006-01-30 18:03:58 UTC
during bootup, I noticed this.
userhelper[2773] general protection rip:40375d rsp:7fffff9cf800 error:0

and found a core file which had the following backtrace..

#0  0x000000000040375d in converse_pipe (num_msg=0, msg=0x0, resp=0x0,
appdata_ptr=Variable "appdata_ptr" is not available.
)

PAM_SUCCESS) ||

Comment 1 Jindrich Novy 2006-01-31 14:38:46 UTC
Ugh. During boot-up?

Something looks seriously fubared when some app is called via userhelper in the
boot time... Could you install the userelper from the bug 176992 an reboot
again? Also a name of the app called via userhelper would help me as I can then
check what PAM modules are used for "authentication" what might cause the crash.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2006-02-01 21:17:08 UTC
I think it wasn't actually during boot, it just looked that way in the logs, due
to syslog being strange and interspersing the boot messages with things that
happened later.

This looks like a dupe of 176992.
