Public bug reported:

update-notifier crashes on unity session startup and segfaults (Ubuntu Quantal 12.10 32bit, fresh install). This happens always. 
Version of the update-notifier package is 0.126
Here follows an extract of the ~/.xsession-errors file :
(update-notifier:2779): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_mount_can_eject: assertion `G_IS_MOUNT (mount)' failed

The same happens with the command ' sh -c /usr/bin/update-notifier '.
There is only one more message : ' Segmentation violation '.
