[Bug 1197788] Re: indicator-application-service crashed with signal 5 in g_type_create_instance()

 

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-application -
12.10.1+14.04.20131125-0ubuntu1

---------------
indicator-application (12.10.1+14.04.20131125-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  [ Charles Kerr ]
  * When we can't get a handle to the system bus, exit gracefully
    instead of crashing. (LP: #1197788)

  [ Ted Gould ]
  * Switch indicator application over to having an upstart job for
    managing the service. Also make it emit it's own event for when
    application indicators should be started so we can clean up the boot
    sequence. (LP: #1185565)

  [ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * Automatic snapshot from revision 242

Title:
  indicator-application-service crashed with signal 5 in
  g_type_create_instance()

Status in Application Indicators:
  Fix Committed
Status in “indicator-application” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “indicator-application” source package in Saucy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Any users who starts indicator-application with an inaccessible dbus session bus.

  [Test case]
  Try to start indicator-application-service as a different user than the user currently connected (i.e. sudo -u toto /usr/lib/*/indicator-application-service )
  Observe that it does not crash and rather stops gracefully.

  [Regression potential]
  The service could fail to successfully start even when the bus should be available, in which case it should normally get respawned automatically.
