Description of problem: After performing operations (or on request), gparted re-scans the disks, then vanishes leaving no error messages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gparted-0.3.3-12.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run gparted 2. Select menu GParted -> Refresh Devices 3. Actual results: gparted window vanishes Expected results: Rescan completes and gparted stays up, ready for additional operations. Additional info:
Looking at the problem, the GtkComboBox on the toolbar that displays the list of devices uses a GtkListStore as its underlying model. When Refresh Devices is called the GtkListStore is cleared, this causes the function connected to the "changed" signal of the GtkComboBox to be called. This causes the segfault by trying to set the value of the GtkComboBox to an invalid value. The simplest way I see to work around this is to simply block the "changed" signal from being emitted when Refresh Devices is called.
Created attachment 240891 [details] bug_309251_gparted_crashes_after_re-scanning_devices.patch This patch blocks the "changed" signal of the GtkComboBox when Refresh Devices is called.
Thanks Jim for the patch. However I have other issue with building the package on rawhide (bz #313281), I'll work on integrating the patch once the other issue is resolved.
I haven't seen the issue with bug #313281. But I can add a patch for it too. ;-)
Jim to the rescue again, thanks. Let me know if you're interested in being a co-maintainer for this package.
I've applied the patch, new package already built.
