GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 633847
Random crash caused by Status icon plugin
Last modified: 2010-12-25 00:38:10 UTC
Created attachment 173709 [details] Logs: output, error, strace. Versions: rhythmbox, uname. I haven't been able to reproduce this bug consistently, but sometimes the status icon disappears from the Notification area. This usually doesn't have critical consequences (the only problem is that the icon disappears), but when I was stracing it, it crashed rhythmbox. I append all the relevant logs, trimmed to 100 lines, they should give enough information (output, error, strace, uname, version). I haven't been able to reproduce it with debugging enabled. The error seems to be this: Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_draw_pixbuf: assertion `gc == NULL || GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!
Created attachment 173739 [details] Logs: output, error. Stack trace: gdb. Includes the output (rhythmbox-out.log) and error log (rhythmbox-err.log). It also includes the stack trace, which is gdb.txt.
Your stack trace doesn't show anything crashing. I suspect it's just a SIGPIPE. You should either just continue, or tell gdb not to stop the process when that signal is received, with 'handle SIGPIPE nostop'.

Maybe the word crash shouln't be in the subject line, because it only happened once. The real problem is the icon disappearing with the "Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_draw_pixbuf: assertion `gc == NULL || GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed" error. My mistake.
OK. In that case, it would help if you could provide a stack trace corresponding to when that message is printed. To do this, run rhythmbox under gdb specifying '-D tray' as the arguments for rhythmbox ('run -D tray'), wait until it that message is printed and generate a stack trace. Please paste your stack trace into the comment field directly rather than attaching it as a compressed tar file.
