Summary: crash in nsAppShell::ProcessNextNativeEvent @ g_main_context_check with Linux kernel 3.0.0-18 on Ubuntu 11.10 → crash in nsAppShell::ProcessNextNativeEvent @ g_main_context_. with Linux kernel 3.0.0-18 on Ubuntu 11.10
This isn't a kernel bug. Something is registering a source with a NULL check() vfunc with the glib main loop
But then, saying that, the kernel is pretty much the only thing to have changed in the last couple of weeks or so
Ok, it is actually https://launchpad.net/bugs/972821. I've been told that updates to that kernel were blocked (it was pulled from the archive) and a new version has since been pushed out in any case. However, Update Manager only nags once per week for non-security updates, which probably explains why the crash volume is still quite high. This should come down in the next couple of days. Fortunately, that kernel wasn't actually pushed out as an official update. It was only ever pushed to testers who have opted in to verifying updates

There's one crash in 12.0.
