Ubuntu Unity crash due to glade2script-python3, can I remove it?

  • 772

It happened twice in ~2 months, since I replaced Gnome with Unity (ubuntu 22.04.1).

While watching a YT video in Chrome, and Unity just froze. The video was looping (audio only), repeating the last 2 seconds forever. Mouse and keyboard dead. Crl-Alt-Fx not working. ssh to the desktop unresponsive. Had to reset the computer.

Both times, /var/crash showed that the culprit seems to be glade2script-python3.

The man says that

Glade2script allows a script (Bash, Python or other) to display and interact with a GUI (created with Glade).

Can I safely remove glade2script-python3? Is it useful?

    To know if your package is used by another one (reverse dependency), use

    apt-cache rdepends glade2script-python3

    This will show you the list where your culprit is used. After that, you will have to decide whether you remove it and the said packages or not. Alternatively, you can simulate a removal and carefully identify what the consequences would be on your system:

    sudo apt-get -s remove glade2script-python3
