[Bug 960757] Re: whoopsie crashed with SIGSEGV in g_object_newv()

[Evan Dandrea]

Can you please first upgrade whoopsie to 0.1.20 or later. Then please edit /etc/init/whoopsie.conf as root (sudo gedit /etc/init/whoopsie.conf) and just below the line that reads "env CRASH_DB_URL=https://daisy.ubuntu.com, put "env G_SLICE=always-malloc". So the file then looks like this:
...
env CRASH_DB_URL=https://daisy.ubuntu.com
env G_SLICE=always-malloc
...

Then run `sudo restart whoopsie`, and report back here on whether that
stops the crash in whoopsie from happening. The dialog that appears will
say "Ubuntu has encountered an internal error", but if you hit Show
Details, the Package will be whoopsie.

To be clear, you may get crashes that say "Ubuntu has encountered an
internal error", but we're only concerned about ones for the whoopsie
package in this bug report.

Thanks!
