This fails on a fortify check in get_decoded_udev_property()

Looking at the code, aren't we going one byte past the end of the string in
if (encoded[i:encoded.length].scanf ("\\x%02x", out x) > 0) {
?

No, the M is exclusive in [N:M] syntax: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/Tutorial#Arrays

Got today

Would be much easier to debug this if I could reproduce it so I need some info: Is there any ISOs mounted or USB/ISO device inserted when you reproduce this? If so, can you please provide output of ` udevadm info --query=property DEVICE_PATH` ?

Issue has occurred just half an hour ago for installed packages:

  kernel-3.14.0-0.rc2.git0.2.fc21
  gnome-boxes-3.11.5.1-2.fc21

Two removable devices were atteched to the system: a USB stick listed as /dev/sdb and an SD card listed as /dev/mmcblk0p1.

After removing both of them, gnome-boxes still crashed at start-up. After tunrning the system off and on again, gnome-boxes did not crash anymore regardless of whether any of the two devices was present at boot time after a warm boot of the system or not.

--- Additional comment from Christoph Frieben on 2014-02-12 21:34:40 EST ---

Even if gnome-boxes does not crash any more, this observation is of little interest given that the application is now stuck at the source selection stage.

Its still very relevant and this new issue could be an entirely different bug. Could you please get a backtrace of all threads when its stuck?

Oh nm, I didn't see the screenshot. Its not stuck but rather some important UI components are for some reason not shown. I think I fixed this not so long ago in unstable branch.

Anyway, its a differen bug so please file it separately.

The output of  /dev/sdb would be more helpful as this device is not a bootable ISO9660 media.

Issue still present for gnome-boxes-3.11.90.1-2.fc21 when a bootable CD is inserted in the CDV drive.

Issue still present for gnome-boxes-3.11.91-1.fc21 when a bootable CD is inserted in the CDV drive.

Comment 1 Vera Budikova 2014-03-12 12:39:47 UTC

I have the same problem with gnome-boxes-3.8.3-6.el7.x86_64.
Problem has appeared with Fedora 20 Multi Desktop Live DVD in my CD drive.

Comment 3 Martin 2014-03-13 15:10:03 UTC

Another user experienced a similar problem:

1. Insert flashdrive containing Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso
2. Notification pops up. Open media in Boxes.
