I have been in on-again, off-again pursuit for several months of an
issue with something deep inside gnome-control-center's printer dialogs,
but I can't come up with a reliable way to reproduce.
Long story short sometimes it dumps core when closing a dialog, or
gnome-control-center itself.
I have captured core dumps and stack traces from 3 of these crashes
today. They don't seem to have much of anything in common. I've also
managed to create 2 similar crashes in a VM, one stack trace roughly
matches one of the other 3, the other seems like something else yet
again. At least inside the VM abrt managed to catch the crashes. The IDs
are b2a8762c054db4984d12586eba387ff697fe320c and
fa2029b22189cfa48d999190cfd830577c75688b. The stack trace for the b2 one
closely resembles a crash seen earlier on real hardware.
The best way I've come up with to recreate a crash (roughly 1/20 success
rate):
1. Open gnome-control-center
2. Select "Printers"
3. Click "Unlock...", authenticating as required
4. Click "Add a Printer...", complete flow to add a printer
5. Click the gear next to the printer you just added
7. Click "Printing Options"
8. Click "Test Page" in the printer options dialog
9. Wait for printing to complete, or don't, I'm not really sure if it
matters
10. Close the printer options dialog (sometimes it crashes here)
11. Close gnome-control-center (sometimes it crashes here)
I have once managed to recreate this by using a printer already added so
no authentication or add printer flow was required.
I have once managed to recreate this without printing a test page, but
I'm not entirely sure what the steps were. Mostly I was opening and
closing the printer options dialog in a low-level rage.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? I'm not real inclined to open a
report without more concrete steps to reproduce. "gnome-control-center
crashes once in a while" isn't real compelling...
