arnaudr 2026-05-29 02:11 manager ~0021727	Can you tell us what you were doing when this crash happened? So that we can try to reproduce the issue? Thanks.

kali-bugreport 2026-05-29 16:26 reporter ~0021734	Shouldn't this be reported to devs of the software instead?

Alimadcorp 2026-05-30 06:02 reporter ~0021738	@arnaudr So far I'm unable to reproduce this on my system, it happened randomly only once. The only thing I can relate it to is that I had converted an HEIF file to PNG using imagemagick, 2-3 minutes before this occurred. @kali-bugreport Yea I realize this is an issue related to the software itself, I guess we can close this.

arnaudr 2026-06-01 04:53 manager ~0021744	We are aware of issues with glycin and a particular app, `ettercap`. It seems that the issue is that the `ettercap` is started as root, and then later on it drops privileges. In the background, what happens is that glycin starts workers (as root), then after some inactivity these workers are terminated, and then when needed workers are started again, but this time as non-root. It crashes the application. Reported where needs be already: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=9646 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glycin/-/issues/287 https://github.com/Ettercap/ettercap/issues/1310 I don't know if you think your issue can be related (ie. running graphical applications as root, or this kind of things)
