--- Begin Message ---Subject: gvfs crashes gtk file chooser Package: gvfs Version: 1.4.0-1 Severity: critical *** Please type your report below this line *** This was certainly a pain in the ass. For the record, the correct response to an optional feature (gvfs) failing is not to crash the host program. It's possible that bug belongs in libgtk, but the underlying problem is just as severe (sending messages with unknown effects to something that handles the file system). Red Hat bug 512461 indicates that the problem is a protocol change within gvfs - that is, between the library and the daemon processes it automatically starts without user intervention. It spews a few error messages of the form "process 6686: type array 97 not a basic type" then crashes whatever Gtk program called the file chooser. Reproduced in Iceweasel, Emacs, Comix, Viking etc. "Not a bug" is an insult to the user, as this is nearly as destructive as it gets. Appropriate handling: #1. On failures, fall back to sane behaviour; i.e. non-vfs usage. #2. Make the protocol indicate version. Mismatches can then be detected. Give a warning/error code that can be handled. #3. If a sane solution exists (in this case, have gvfs* daemons exit), consider automating it or at least suggesting it. The problem could have been resolved in my instance by having the gvfs package kill the daemons when they're upgraded. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gvfs depends on: ii libc6 2.9-26 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.26.2-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.0-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal1 0.5.13-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libudev0 146-3 libudev shared library ii x11-utils 7.4+1 X11 utilities Versions of packages gvfs recommends: ii dbus 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii gnome-mount 0.8-2 wrapper for (un)mounting and eject ii hal 0.5.13-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer Versions of packages gvfs suggests: ii gvfs-backends 1.4.0-1 userspace virtual filesystem - bac -- no debconf information
