Description Jason D. Clinton 2011-03-09 18:33:58 UTC
Created attachment 483284 [details]
Log of failing GDM slave

Description of problem:
gdm blows up when responding to interface=org.gnome.DisplayManager.Session method=SavedLanguageNameRead signal during login. The attached trace appears to 
show a null pointer deference on the 'settings' variable:

gdm[1464]: #6  gdm_session_settings_is_loaded (settings=0x0) at gdm-session-settings.c:246
gdm[1464]: #7  0x00000000004086a8 in on_settings_is_loaded_changed (worker=0x144ac40) at gdm-session-worker.c:2114
gdm[1464]: #8  0x00000036c940e2ee in g_closure_invoke () from /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.91.93-1


How reproducible: about 70% of the time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot system
2. Try to login
Seem especially reproducible if automatic login is enabled but occasionally happens on manual login, as well.

Usually, attempting to log in a second time results in success.


Actual results:
gdm slave crashes with attached backtrace and login process freezes with spinning wait cursor.

Yep. That fixes it for me. Bumping the karma.

Will this negatively affect the autologin for the GNOME 3 test day ISO's being spun tonight?
