[Bug 672379] Re: segfault after function key use (eg: F4, Alt-letter or Ctrl-letter)

 

MoLE, thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Mavericks reached EOL on April 10, 2012.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Is this an issue on a supported release? If so, please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. First, execute at a terminal:
cd /var/crash && sudo rm * ; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo service apport start force_start=1

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable
apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now reproduce the crash, then open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. If you run the command against the crash report and a window pops up asking you to report this, but then never opens a new report, you would be affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921 . In order to WORKAROUND this, one would need to open the following file via a command line:
sudo nano /etc/apport/crashdb.conf

and comment out the line:
'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

by changing it to:
# 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

Save, close, and try to file the crash report again via:
ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will
automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more
efficiently.

Please do not attach your crash report manually to this report and
reopen it.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  segfault after function key use (eg: F4, Alt-letter or Ctrl-letter)

Status in remmina package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: remmina

  I have noticed this bug consistently when logging into a Win Server 2008 environment using Remmina.
  the program tends to segfault and crash after pressing a key combination or function key.

  Eg: F4, ctrl-w, Alt-z are the most commonly used

  The crash is intermittent and occurs whether keystroke capture is
  enabled or not.

  Any further suggestions on how to troubleshoot would be welcome.
