GiMP, PCManFM, [others] seg faulting

[VinDSL]

Maybe ck your local log for gnome-session or .xsession-errors (where or which can vary..

Will do. Thanks!

Will do. Thanks!

As far as I know gdm keeps it's own log, should be easy to find
lightdm uses .xsession-errors for gnome* sessions & .cache/upstart for unity session

Heh! Sorry, for digressing, but I'm going through various logs, and...

My fire-breathing, flamethrower, P4EE CPU is throttling like crazy. LoL!

I turn my CPU cooler fan speed down, in the winter, so I don't have to listen to it.

It's triple-digits here, now. Guess I better crank it up, all the way.

Okay, back on topic.

Still going through my logs, looking for a clue...

Eureka!

Didn't realize Chromium was seg faulting, too.

Actually, I *think* the Chromium seg fault was due to the flash plug-in running out of memory. That happens quite often, when I'm playing Zynga flash games on FB. Flash performance, on a machine with 1GB RAM is rather dodgy.

Er... I play Cafe World, for testing purposes only (fingers crossed behind back).

You're breaking on the glib you've installed from a ppa, likely -
2.37.5~git20130714.8ead9055-0ubuntu1~13.10~ricotz1
So for a while you probably won't be able to use pcmanfm until it's fixed for 2.37.5 or higher
(unless you downgrade to a lesser version of glib which may or may not affect other ppa packages...

the simple crash title is -
pcmanfm crashed with SIGSEGV in g_cclosure_marshal_generic()

[VinDSL]

Agreed!

I don't see any good options, at this point, except waiting.

[VinDSL]

That didn't take long!

Lot of design/user_interface changes today...

Solved all of my glib probs. GiMP, PCManFM, [everything] is working fine now. Didn't even have to restart.

Thanks, for the help!
