[Bug 1309025] Re: systemd-logind assert failure: cgmanager-client.c:6322: Assertion failed in cgmanager_list_children_sync: proxy != NULL

[Adam Conrad]

Hello Parameswaran, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/204-5ubuntu20.3
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Trusty)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed

Title:
  systemd-logind assert failure: cgmanager-client.c:6322: Assertion
  failed in cgmanager_list_children_sync: proxy != NULL

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “systemd” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in “systemd” source package in Utopic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  SRU:

  Rationale: systemd-logind randomly crashes on random systems, usually
  with a similar traceback or most commonly with a corrupted one. We've
  identified a few problems in the patch, most of which can account for
  the symptoms people have seen and all of which being obviously correct
  bugfixes.

  Testcase: Get the fixes into utopic and trusty-proposed, wait for a
  week for new reports (here and on errors.ubuntu.com), if none were
  reported, push to -updates. While we know what we've fixed, actually
  reproducing the bug in the wild is notoriously difficult, we attempted
  various kind of stress tests over the past 2 months without much
  luck...

  Regression potential: All the fixes are very simple, very targeted and
  pretty obvious, so if we do end up breaking something else as the
  result of that, it's most likely another bug that was hidden behind
  incorrect behaviour. Any such bug should be easy to deal with or we
  can always revert to the current state (better the devil you know).

  
  === Original bug report ===
  Occurred after a dist-upgrade, reboot and logging in.
