Description of problem: Nautilus crashes when writing to a Windows share. No warning message, no error message, just goes away, then restarts after a short while. It seems that the files get written correctly though. Maybe this should be assigned to a different component, since there is no way to find out why it's crashing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.24.2-1.fc10.x86_64 gvfs-1.0.3-4.fc10.x86_64 gvfs-smb-1.0.3-4.fc10.x86_64 samba-3.2.8-0.26.fc10.x86_64 gnome-vfs2-smb-2.24.0-3.fc10.x86_64 libsmbclient-3.2.5-0.23.fc10.x86_64 samba-client-3.2.8-0.26.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Most of the times, but not always (same share) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a Windows share in Nautilus 2. Write files 3. Actual results: Nautilus crashes, X lags for some 10 seconds, mayhem. Files get written Expected results: Files get written, nothing crashes, everybody's happy Additional info:
Thank you for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it is impossible to determine what caused the crash. Please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces for more information about getting a useful stack trace.
There seems to be no core dump. Also, I noticed that some files don't get written to the remote share after all and it tends to happen on move.
I tried to obtain a nautilus log but there's nothing unusal there - just "files changed" messages. and this: 0x25e94d0 2009/02/26 14:30:40.6456 (GLog): Unable to add monitor: Not supported
If you run nautilus from a console and then reproduce the bug, do you get any interesting information at the console? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
(nautilus:6275): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion `string != NULL' failed (nautilus:6275): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strv_length: assertion `str_array != NULL' failed
I doubt that's related to the crash (I'm guessing you'd probably see those messages if you just ran Nautilus at a console and did something else). Hmm, sorry, not sure about this one :\ -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
In this case those 2 messages pop up and then nautilus crashes instantly. Might be related or not I guess. Any other methods to debug?
If found out that this is caused by an external addon to Nautilus and most likely is not a problem with Nautilus.
