Description Nathan Owens 2015-03-08 20:13:28 CET

Description of problem:
When opening the ~/Downloads directory, caja crashes. I'm running Mate. According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=1031307, it's a problem with mate-user-share. It seems like there's a fix for it in that bug report as well.

When I uninstall mate-user-share, the problem goes away, but now I can no longer use mate-user-share.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mate-user-share-1.6.1-1.mga4
mate-file-manager-1.6.3-1.1.mga4

How reproducible:
Every time, even with a newly-created user.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mate-user-share-1.6.1-1.mga4
2. Open the Mate file manager (caja)
3. Go to the ~/Downloads directory
4. Watch caja crash



Reproducible:

Thank you reporting. Relevant upstream issue is here: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-user-share/issues/18

And the commit which should fix this issue is here: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-user-share/commit/906172bb95b10dd064d0b0fde0d0510434d34b96

I' ll try to apply this commit to our package and provide an update hopefully tonight.

Comment 2 Atilla ÖNTAŞ 2015-03-09 22:09:53 CET

I have submitted mate-user-share-1.6.1-1.1.mga4 to core/updates_testing repository. This update include upstream patch which should fix your issue. Please test it if the issue resolves.

Comment 3 Nathan Owens 2015-03-12 16:18:55 CET

Thanks! I will test it in the next few days.

Comment 4 Atilla ÖNTAŞ 2015-03-23 10:29:43 CET

I have uploaded a patched package for Mageia 4.

Suggested advisory:
========================

Updated mate-user-share package fixes a critical crashing bug:

Before updated package, mate-user-share tries to use ~/Downloads folder for incoming bluetooth files altough mate-bluetooth is deprecated and doesn't included in repositories. So, without mate-bluetooth installed it crashes caja.

This update includes an upstream patch to fix this critical bug.

Were you able to test the updated package Nathan?

Comment 6 Len Lawrence 2015-04-10 20:26:02 CEST

Have just tried this and caja still crashes on ~/Downloads.

Comment 7 Len Lawrence 2015-04-10 20:29:48 CEST

And I can confirm that installing mate-bluetooth prevents the crash.  Will remove mate-bluetooth and await further developments.

Attila, are there any logs we can watch to help with debugging?

Comment 8 Len Lawrence 2015-04-10 20:33:55 CEST

Just found this in dmesg:

[170233.769058] caja[22942]: segfault at 9 ip 00007fc5ebb285b9 sp 00007fff0cb93130 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.3800.2[7fc5ebaf6000+4e000]

Comment 9 Nathan Owens 2015-04-12 19:53:16 CEST

Sorry about taking so long to test this! Thanks for the reminder!

With and without mate-bluetooth installed, it's not crashing for me. After installing mate-user-share-1.6.1-1.1.mga4 (x86_64), I restarted the X server and logged back into mate. Opening the ~/Downloads directory didn't crash caja. mate-bluetooth was not installed (gnome-bluetooth is, though I don't know if that makes a difference; I didn't want to uninstall it because I sometimes play around with gnome).

I did install mate-bluetooth after that initial test just to see if it made a difference. Opening ~/Downloads still doesn't crash caja (not that it ever did).


Since I'm not seeing a problem with the test package, but Len is, could some other package be interferring? Except for this one mate-user-share package, I'm running standard Mageia 4, fully updated.

Comment 10 Len Lawrence 2015-04-13 10:43:48 CEST

Now it does not crash for me either.  I had not thought to restart the X server.

Comment 11 Atilla ÖNTAŞ 2015-04-15 14:36:21 CEST

Hi, indeed user should logout and log back in to the desktop to unload/load mate-user-share. Since, all you said that the main problem is fixed (?) then please validate. Thank you for testing this update. :)

Comment 12 claire robinson 2015-04-15 14:44:30 CEST

Thanks for confirming Atilla.

Comment 13 claire robinson 2015-04-15 14:49:29 CEST

Advisory uploaded.
