Bug Description

Binary package hint: transmission

unity-window-decorator terminal output after the crash:

"extents are 1 1 29 1 129
extents are 1 1 29 1 129

(unity-window-decorator:1627): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to `GObject'

(unity-window-decorator:1627): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_get_data: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

unity-window-decorator can not be located to provide apt-cache policy information or anything else for some reason, but it obviously exists.

nevertheless, there's no way i can use transmission in 1st march build of natty 64bit---
when started, it freezes. when "force quit", the decorator thingie crashes." so yes, it is reproducable.

"Package: transmission (not installed)" did confuse me, so I apt-get install-ed it and it did install, although i was already using it before that. but this changes nothing.

When unity-window-decorator crashes it should generate the apport report you can upload to LP. Unfortunately without it there is little we can do about it. I can't reproduce this problem myself. I'm going to close this report, the new one will be created when you upload crash from apport.

PS unity-window-decorator is a part of compiz-gnome package, so you have to use apt-cache policy compiz-gnome to get its version.

Changed in transmission (Ubuntu):
status: New → Invalid

yes, the windows with the "report problem" button does pop-up, but when i use it, it says that package is not installed. that actually happens for every package, i don't know why.

 In this case I'd start debugging this issue first - try reporting bug
against apport either by using ubuntu-bug apport or by following this
