1165676 – gvfsd-gphoto2 crashes when iPhone is connected

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 3 Ondrej Holy 2014-11-25 14:59:45 UTC

Hey, thanks for your bug report. Could you provide backtrace for gvfsd-gphoto2?

It could be solved by upstream patch to use afc instead of gphoto2 (it has same/more functionality):

Hi,

here is the backtrace:

Sorry for the late reply, I was out of the office.

Best regards,

Thanks for your backtrace.

According the backtrace it seems the crash could be fixed by upstream commit:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gvfs/commit/daemon/gvfsbackendgphoto2.c?id=3c1b401670c7fbdf7ad8f3034b3d508ae719d6d3

Comment 6 Martin Schuppert 2014-12-05 08:51:19 UTC

Yes, using a gvfs package with the mentioned fix do improve the situation. Matthias don't get a crash any more, but a window asks to select a tool to download pictures. Loading pictures is not possible, but that probably is another issue.

Comment 7 Ondrej Holy 2014-12-16 16:59:38 UTC

Thanks for testing. This is probably different issue, but I'm not sure what is it, could you attach screenshot?

Import Photos window

The window I get when starting gThumb Image Viewer(?) with iPhone attached.

Comment 10 Matthias Schroder 2014-12-16 17:28:22 UTC

Hi Ondrej,

I have attached the two windows I get when I connect my iPhone. I first get the window with title "iPhone" ("You have just inserted..."). When I click on "OK", I get the window with the title "Import Photos". In that window I can select and de-select options, but the 'Import ' button does not do anything. Note the error message in the "Import Photos" window.

I must admit I have never ever used this, so I have no idea how this is supposed to work.

Hope this helps,

Matthias

Comment 11 Ondrej Holy 2014-12-17 09:03:36 UTC

Hey Matthias, thanks for the info. This is gthumb issue, because it is using own ptp implementation for importing images which is colliding with gvfs. As a workaround, you have to unmount gvfs mount first, see:
http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/FAQ.html#FAQ-already-in-use

This is already fixed in newer gthumb versions, see:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gthumb-list/2010-July/msg00025.html

Please file a new bug report against gthumb if it is important for you.

Comment 12 Matthias Schroder 2014-12-17 09:07:21 UTC

Hi Ondrej,

thanks a lot for the hints conecerning gthumb, highly appreciated. I agree that this is another issue, and the crashes that where the issue of this case have definitely been solved.

Cheers,

Matthias
