Description of problem: Thunar spontaneously hangs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The lates bits in the distro How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the software for a while 2. Hangs spontaneously 3. Actual results: File manager hands Expected results: File manager won't hang Additional info: am experiencing frequent crashes with the XFCE filemanager, Thunar and it's associated thumbnailer, tumbler. I reported this bug to gitlab.xfce.org and received a reply that this problem has been fixed by changes to the latest versions of Thunar (4.15.0) and tumbler (0.2.9). Could somebody please push these versions to the Fedora 31 repos? Having a file manager that crashes often is no fun. Just to be complete, here is the pertinent information from my original bug report: Thunar spontaneously crashes and closes all open Thunar windows I can reopen them manually, but again all of my directory context is lost. I have no specific steps to reproduce these problems, they just happen spontaneously, on average about once a day. 115115 I am running Fedora 31 with kernel 5.7.15-100.fc31.x86_64 on an HP Pavilion a6209n with an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ CPU. Software is current, I just updated everything this morning.
Unfortunately, if this is fixed in 4.15.0, that will not be pushed to anything less than F34. 4.15.x belongs to 4.16.x release of Xfce which is the current development version. Can you please post the link to the upstream issue you filed? I can look at how big the changes are and try to backport it, if possible.
Thank you for your response. The link to my bug posting with xfce is: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/385#note_16885 On looking at the resp0nses to this bug; I see that this particular bug was fixed in version 1.8.15 of Thunar. I don't know where the fix to tumbler was made, but perhaps you can pick up version 0.2.9 of it which seems to have a fix for this problem as well.
These are already updated on F32+. I guess I did not update F31. Any plans to upgrade to F32+? :)
No I have no plans to upgrade to F32; I'm right in the middle of a large project and don't want to risk having something break by doing a major O/S change. Is there any chance that you can update these packages on 31? It would be a great help. Thank for your assistance.
Okay, I will try to get this updated to F31. Perhaps along with other xfce packages.
Thanks.
FEDORA-2020-96de0e4e9d has been submitted as an update to Fedora 31. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-96de0e4e9d
This should bring F31 up to date with other stable releases as long as xfce packages are concerned. Note that F31 will be EOL very soon. No further updates will be possible once F31 is EOL.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '31'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
I'm afraid that these updates do not show in dnfdragora yet.
It should be in updates-testing repo. You will need to enable the repo to install the update. See commment #9 These packages will go to F31 stable after it spends 7 days in testing.
