With both client and the server upgraded to Synergy 1.4.5 Beta from Synergy’s download page, the crash no longer occurs.

This is on Unity 2D and Bug #780803 is at least tangentially related. Synergyc is connected to server through an ssh tunnel (which I set up according to http://ur1.ca/7g6o9#), with client positioned left of the server.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Bring mouse cursor from server screen to client screen.
2. Press Super on server keyboard.
3. Bring mouse cursor back to server screen.

What happens:
Synergyc dies with a segfault:
segfault at 8b0a75c8 ip 0062fbf2 sp bff05108 error 4 in libstdc++.so.6.0.16[5d8000+d8000]

(Also, pressing Super at step 2 brings up launcher on server, not on client – that’s probably Bug #780803 manifesting on U2D.)

I’ve specified three different specific cases to demonstrate what I mean by the title, below. I could have filed three different bite-sized bugs, but all in all I believe they are part of the generic accessibility problem with the ’Revert’ button that could be fixed in one go. (If the developers think otherwise, I’ll be happy to split this into different reports.)

When you first run Software Sources, ’Revert’ is ghosted as it probably should, implying no changes have been made that could be reverted.

Issue #1:
Steps to reproduce:
When Download from: is pointing at main servers, change it to something else and ’Revert’ becomes active. Now click ’Revert’, and main servers are restored as Download from: site.

What happens:
’Revert’ stays active, implying there are still changes left to revert. Clicking it does nothing of course, as all changes have just been reverted.

What should happen:
’Revert’ should become ghosted once pressed after becoming active.

Issue #2:
Steps to reproduce:
Point Download from: to your local mirror (other than main servers). Close Software Sources. Start it again. ’Revert’ is now ghosted, implying there are again no changes to be reverted. Point Download from: to a third mirror, and ’Revert’ becomes active. Click ’Revert’.

What happens:
Download from: now points to main servers.

What should happen:
I’d expect it to point to my local mirror, which was the initial state opening the window.

Issue #3:
Perhaps ’Revert’ wrt the Download from: site means not reverting back to initial state of this SS session, but reverting back to the very initial state of pointing to main servers. But in that case, ’Revert’ should *not* be ghosted when Software Sources starts with Download from: pointing somewhere else, as it just did.

Python-gobject 3.0.3-2 here and I’m able to reproduce this. I haven’t got an exact recipe for it, but enough wiggling around in software sources (with the mirror and such) seems to bring it on. I *think* it happens only when I finally close the window and not before. I’ll keep looking for the exact steps, but I’m pretty confident this is still unfixed, as apport always points me to this report.

I’ve found an MP3 file that also exhibits this. Can’t link it for © reasons, but I’ve got it here for testing.

I should note that currently I’m unable to bring up X entirely with the intel driver. Too bad I didn’t make a note of which upgrade this started with. With intel it now just freezes when login screen should appear, with just the cursor showing on a purple background. It’s such a tough lockup that REISUB from the keyboard won’t work, I have to power off to reset. Comparing logs might help determine if it’s the same issue on a grand scale or an unrelated one, but I don’t know how (or if) I can get useful logs from such lockups.

I got this comment from the bot in a bug report (bug #907668):

”Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate an useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:”

And so on.

Instead of ”an useful” it should say ”a useful”.

I had plugged in my phone via USB (as a mass memory device), after which Nautilus and Miro crashed. I was trying to send a report from Miro when this occurred. Other GUI apps running at the time were Synaptic, Chromium and Transmission.

There are lots of reports with this title already, but they are all from pre-11.10 era, and I believe there’s a bot that’ll tell me if this is a duplicate so no harm done if it is.

I think it’s worse than just that the icon doesn’t convey the program’s purpose: it looks way too much like a flatbed scanner. I appreciate the difficulty in crafting a descriptive visual representation of a BT client, but IMHO an icon should at least be sufficiently unique so as to avoid mistaking it for other apps of completely unrelated purposes. That’s where Vuze’s frog for example is better (as long as you’re not into Frogger clones). I’ve been running Transmission whenever I’m logged in for years now, and I still occasionally wonder why I have a scanning app running, when in fact it’s just Transmission’s… I’m-not-sure-what-it-is.

I realize this is not a very constructive argument so long as I don’t have anything better to suggest in the current icon’s place, but I promise I’ll start thinking of one right now and hopefully come up with ideas some day.

@David: I have this bug but only with HDMI output from my gfx adapter. #23 works here, so as per your #30 I’m about to file a separate bug, but would the driver at fault in this case be for the underlying (Intel) sound card or for the (Radeon) display adapter? Audio coming through analog (headphones) never crackles.
