[Bug 1212337] Re: accounts-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in dbus_connection_send()
Hi all. Yes, it's so frustrating, that this problem/crash happening for
a long time, without any reaction. I mean without any update for a
Precise. It seems, that this issue is not so important from a Developers
points of view. In fact, it is not a security or stability matter,
right?
Best regards.

Title:
accounts-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in dbus_connection_send()
Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “accountsservice” source package in Precise:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi. There appeared some problems with 'accountsservice' -- a D-Bus
interface for user account query and manipulation, that honestly have
occurred day-to-day.
### PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
========================
A few weeks ago after login as a normal user, 'accountsservice' (used for querying and manipulating user account informations) crashed. On the beginning it was a random incident. After a few days, 'accountsservice' crashed each time after every user logs on. I think, that's all what I can write, to try to describe this issue, because everything seems to be okay -- no system freezing or slowdowns, no problems after packages update/upgrade etc.
### DETAILED INFORMATIONS:
==========================
* ProblemType: Crash
* Uname: Linux 3.2.0-51-generic-pae i686
* Architecture: i386
* DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 (Xubuntu 12.04 variant)
* Package: accountsservice 0.6.15-2ubuntu9.6
* ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.4
* NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
* Segfault happened at: 0xb76bb7c3: mov 0x10(%eax),%eax
* Executable Path (ProcCmdline): /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon
Also '/var/log/apport.log' file contain some informations about this
issue. Everything is in a attached log file.

| Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS

### WHAT HAVE HAD AN IMPACT ON THIS ISSUE?
==========================================
I have no ideas, why it started to happen. Only one thing, which I've done for a few weeks before problems with 'accountsservice' was 'conky-all' install. Nothing more, nothing less -- no serious administrative tasks were performed (except e.g. kernel or programs updates via APT utility or UpdateManager, but it seems to be obvious).
### APPENDIX:
=============
I would like to notice, that this issue still occurs, after next point Xubuntu update -- from 12.04.2 to 12.04.3 version. So for now, kernel version is; 3.2.0-55-generic-pae. Anything related with this bug, when all of this started to happen, remains unchanged.
One more, important, thing to mention is that - in my case - 'accountsservices' crashed even after a fresh Xubuntu 12.04 install. For more info, please see comment #12.
Best regards.
