I'm (actually my sister is) experiencing same kind of segfaults.
I have only remote connection to the machine, but before she logs in with gdm everything seems calm. When she logs in and starts fro example gimp or pidgin following errors come to /var/log/messages.
Code:
Jul 7 12:05:23 vete kernel: [ 1924.692584] gconftool-2[4375] general protection ip:b803f9a2 sp:bfc89574 error:0 in libxml2.so.2.6.32[b7f1f000+135000]
Jul 7 12:06:02 vete kernel: [ 1964.362624] pidgin[3858]: segfault at 18 ip 080e8eab sp bfc969f0 error 4 in pidgin[8048000+c6000]
Jul 7 12:06:59 vete kernel: [ 2021.500997] nautilus[4388]: segfault at ffe1ead5 ip b4dab830 sp b4ddff40 error 4 in libjpeg.so.62.0.0[b4d9b000+1f000
These same kind of segfaults (error in libc, libjpeg, libglib, pidgin) also come from gimp-2.6 and firefox and other programs she tries to run.
System is fresh Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04. It is an older computer where I added more RAM recently so it could be memory issue.
I put her to run memtest to see if it is a memory issue.
Do you have any other ideas what might cause this kind of behavior?
