[Bug 1255569] Re: session-init-less session-init session

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

process 1625: arguments to dbus_message_iter_open_container() were incorrect, assertion "(type == DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY && contained_signature && *contained_signature == DBUS_DICT_ENTRY_BEGIN_CHAR) || (contained_signature == NULL || _dbus_check_is_valid_signature (contained_signature))" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-message.c line 2800.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


Note that process 1625 was the session init process.

Title:
  session-init-less session-init session

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ursinha reports that upstart-app-launch fails, as it cannot connect to
  session-init.

  Turns out there is a stale .session file with pid 1625, yet pid 1625
  is not present. It appears that no other session-init started, nor
  original one respawned.

  xsession-error suggests that it segfaulted, yet there are no init
  crash file from whoopsie (but there are a few other crash files
  isntead)

  There are processes left, which clearly have been started by now
  absent session-init. Eg. dconf-service has the stale UPSTART_SESSION
  socket set in it's environ.

  It's quite confusing. But it seems that nothing noticed that session-
  init segfaulted and nothing restarted it / recovered it. And no state
  information was serialised.
