From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: If i burn a DVD+RW using growisofs then mount it, as soon as the mount has finished, nautilus crashes. If restarted, it continues to crash until the dvd is unmounted, at which point it restarts and functions fine. Also, there is nothing wrong with the DVD+RW. I can access it fine from the command line when it has been mounted. I reported this to bugzilla.gnome.org, and they have resolved it. Could this resolution be included in a future package? My origional report can be see at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165134 and the resolution and proposed patch can be found at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153888 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.8.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Burn dvd+rw using growisofs 2.Mount it Actual Results: Nautilus crashes Expected Results: Nothing to happen, I am not using nautilus to access the DVD.
Experienced exact same behaviour with ISO 9660 DVD-R burned mounted as root via CLI (I don't automount) nautilus crashed. MD5SUM on the DVD of files on the DVD checks out. This is new behaviour - it did not use to do this. I will try mounting it as normal user and see what happens. This is bad though.
update - ejected dvd inserted into DVD-ROM drive mounted as normal user - behaviour as expected (no crash nautilus)
Yes, I can also confirm this. Mounting as normal user appears to work fine. New steps to reproduce this bug are as follows: 1.At the command line Burn a dvd+rw using growisofs. 2.su - 3.Enter root's password. 4.mount /media/cdwriter Results: Nautilus crashes. I have tried this in the same drive, with a ISO CD-ROM disk and I don't get the problem. So it looks like the bug only effects DVD's.
I have just come across some more info on this bug. If at the command line root uses growisofs to burn a DVD+RW, ejects the DVD and reinserts it there is no crash. The problem only seems to occur when root tries to mount a DVD immediately after it has been written.
Seems to be fixed in FC4. If anyone else can also confirm this Iâll close down the bug.
