Description An. N 2009-02-25 09:02:10 UTC
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

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.

Comment 2 An. N 2009-02-26 13:23:57 UTC
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.

Comment 3 An. N 2009-02-26 13:35:11 UTC
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

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2009-02-26 20:56:45 UTC
If you run nautilus from a console and then reproduce the bug, do you get any interesting information at the console?

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2009-02-27 23:52:21 UTC
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 :\

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?

Comment 8 An. N 2009-03-02 09:25:47 UTC
If found out that this is caused by an external addon to Nautilus and most likely is not a problem with Nautilus.
