Are you still seeing this bug with empathy-3.6.3-1?
Tried to open second conversation in Empathy - it couldn't handle tabs. backtrace_rating: 4 Package: empathy-3.6.3-1.fc18 OS Release: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
Thread 1 (Thread 0x7fd78861e9c0 (LWP 16891)): #0 0x0000003375227ed7 in _dbus_list_unlink (list=list@entry=0x1877380, link=link@entry=0x1876e68) at dbus-list.c:499 A crash here is often a symptom of threading not having been initialized. I wonder whether another thread has touched libdbus without anyone calling dbus_threads_init_default()? The threads are: * 9: GDBus. OK. * 8: PulseAudio. Does this use libdbus? * 7: telepathy-logger. Does this use libdbus in non-main threads? * 6: d-conf. OK. * 5: Evolution source registry. Does this use libdbus in non-main threads? * 2, 3, 4: JavaScript. No idea tbh. * 1: main thread The current state-of-the-art in making libdbus thread-safe is to call dbus_threads_init_default() from the main thread before you do anything else, preferably early in main(). Yes I know that's a design flaw; it's one we've had for years. I have a patch-set to make libdbus thread-safe by default, which is clearly the correct long-term solution (but was quite a subtle thing to achieve). Reviewers extremely welcome, especially if they are D-Bus committers (e.g. Colin Walters, David Zeuthen, Lennart Poettering); but criticisms or "I am not a maintainer but it looks good to me" from any experienced developer are very welcome. See <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54972>. To attempt a short-term fix, please try inserting if (!dbus_threads_init_default ()) g_error ("fatal error: not enough memory to initialize threads"); near the beginning of Empathy's main(). You will need to depend on libdbus (dbus-1) if you don't already.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
