notify-osd crashed with SIGSEGV in defaults_constructed()/g_object_newv()

StacktraceTop:defaults_constructed (gobject=0x8d12800) at defaults.c:328
IA__g_object_newv (object_type=147908232, n_parameters=0,
IA__g_object_new_valist (object_type=147908232,

defaults_new () at defaults.c:1277

Please post your output of:

 gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name

Crash happens at:
                 g_object_set (self,
                              "text-font-face",
                              font_face->str,
                              NULL);

with
#0 0x0805a8e8 in defaults_constructed (gobject=0x8d12800) at defaults.c:328
 font_face = (GString *) 0x0

=> missing error handling

gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name

gives "微軟正黑體 10"

which means "MS JhengHei 10", a Chinese font from MS and I am using Chinese (Traditional) language in GNOME.

I have the same problem, it crashes when the font_face->str contains any Chineses character.

Thanks for the comments. This will really help us provide a fix. It should be fixed just after the beta freeze.

Thank you!谢谢

This bug was fixed in the package notify-osd - 0.9.7-0ubuntu1

---------------
notify-osd (0.9.7-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - added and improved multihead support,
      notifications stick to panel whatever the monitor it is on (lp: #331369)
    - crashers fixes (lp: #331927, #349133)
    - enable the icon lookup fallback mechanism for fallback icons like
      notification-display-brightness-* (lp: #344385)
    - reworked parts of notify-osd in order to make it adapt dynamically to
      changes of font-face, font-size and dpi (lp: #339731)
    - ensure X errors will not kill notify-osd
    - use HTML- and markup-filter for title- and body-message-text also
      in fallback-dialog
  * debian/patches/correct_service_install.patch:
    - correctly install the dbus service
  * debian/rules:
    - use simple-patchsys rules
