Comment 1 Jonh Wendell 2008-01-11 20:51:57 UTC

Hi. Is this issue reproducible? If so, please, tell me the steps.
I tried here with no luck.

Comment 2 Andrew Conkling 2008-04-11 00:12:02 UTC

Unfortunately, it seems that it's crashing in the background while doing nothing related to Remote Desktop (at least for me and the others who specifically answered that question on the downstream bug).

Is there anything I (or others) can do to help track the problem down?

Comment 3 Olivier Crête 2008-08-21 15:10:26 UTC

I have seen this happen to me a few times too, but I have no idea how to reproduce it...

Comment 4 palfrey 2009-02-23 13:00:30 UTC

*** Bug 572782 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 5 Tobias Mueller 2009-02-23 15:43:58 UTC

So if we don't have any reproduction recipe, I think we should close this bug in a few weeks.

Comment 6 Albert Zeyer 2009-02-23 17:40:26 UTC

I had just another crash. It happend while copying something to the clipboard.

Comment 7 Tobias Mueller 2009-02-23 17:44:14 UTC

Is this reproducible?

Comment 8 Albert Zeyer 2009-02-23 17:48:08 UTC

Just trying to do so. I have activated core files now globally for my system, so I hope I get some more usefull debugging information the next time.

Comment 9 Jonh Wendell 2009-02-26 23:30:08 UTC

I did a minor tweak some time ago related to clipboard.

Can you guys run vino 2.25.x and see if it happens again?

Comment 10 Albert Zeyer 2009-05-17 22:32:03 UTC

I am using vino-server-2.24.1 now and I haven't seen this anymore.

Comment 11 Jonh Wendell 2009-08-12 19:36:11 UTC

Ok, closing then.
