[SOLVED] gnome shell crash on searching - nvidia 295.20-1

pmd · 2012-02-15 13:43:04

Just made update and get issue with searching on gnome shell. Everything is working fine besides searching in activities view. To solve this I temporary downgraded nvidia and nvidia utils packages to previous version (nvidia-290.10-3, nvidia-utils-290.10-1).

EDIT: it seems that nVidia-295.33 fixed the problem

Hi!

There is already an entry in the bugtracker: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28441

bmanuel · 2012-02-15 16:10:41

Hey pmd, i have the same problem but i'm trying to figure out why another machine i use w/ arch is working fine instead: i still have to try out installing linux-ck and see if that solve the issue, i read on these forums that could do it, i'm gonna try it in a couple of hours. Have you already tried that?!

RJQ · 2012-02-15 17:05:13

Same issue here, downgrading brings things back to normal, would have to wait for a fix in the nvidia 295.x

Kaurin · 2012-02-15 17:57:42

Confirmed. Will go and vote for the issue in the bugtracker and nv forums

Bevan · 2012-02-15 21:02:38

Quote from the nvnews forum:

It seems to be caused by old cache files in ~/.nv/GLCache .. removing or renaming that directory fixes it.

For me this solved the problem for a moment but a bit later it reappeared.

Same bug here, removing/renaming/changing permissions of .nv/GLCache didn't help me though.
I'll try downgrading nvidia soon.

EDIT: as expected, downgrading nvidia packages solve the issue.

had the same issues, reverted to older driver version. damnit nvidia.... :>

varg04444 · 2012-02-19 06:04:48

Same issues. Remove .nv don't work.

lewnidas_ · 2012-02-19 13:54:55

Same problem here....

I'm going to try with downgrade and report back....!!

scornflakes · 2012-02-19 15:07:39

I just did this and it seemed to work:

echo "" > ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel

Kaurin · 2012-02-19 15:09:06

Scornflakes, let us know if that works as a permanent solution. I think someone already tried that, but the bug came back eventually. Try playing a video file, or opening a picture file, and then try to use the Activities search again.

scornflakes · 2012-02-19 17:00:08

It's still not crashing after clearing recently-used.xbel. Since the update, I'm still having trouble with the laptop not shutting off after halt though I'm not sure if it's related. I'm on 3.2.6-2 kernel and nvidia 295.20-1.

ttll · 2012-02-20 12:17:41

thanks @scornflakes - that fixed it for me

I was pretty sure it was a something like a "recently used" entry because the crash only occurend when typing certain keys. I could still browse all applications by selecting "applications" via mouse.

No crashes using nvidia 295.20-1 - invalid recently-used.xbel seems to be a separate bug

maybe this is because an invalid entry is being added again to recently-used.xbel ?

enigmatichus · 2012-02-20 12:58:15

Clearing recently-used.xbel does not solve problem for me. As soon as a new recent voice is added to file (eg. a single openoffice calc recent file straight after clearing recently-used.xbel), bug appears again and gnome shell crashes on first key of the recent file typed in overview search.

Kaurin · 2012-02-20 15:01:39

enigmatichus, me and a lot of other people found it that clearing the recently-used.xbel is only a temporary solution

You are right, sorry if I reported the obvious.

Kaurin · 2012-02-20 15:08:51

Whoa, easy

The purpose of my message was just to confirm your statement

enigmatichus · 2012-02-20 15:30:17

I did not want to appear rude, my english is not so good so I apologize!
I'm stuck in exam session at university, so my mind is not supporting me very well

h54 · 2012-02-20 16:09:20

I thought I was the only one. Hopefully, Nvidia provides a patch in a most expeditious manner...

The suggested solution to clear the recently-used.xbel file didn't worked for me, but a workaround is to delete the recently-used.xbel file and create an directory with the same name.

By the way I have the same problem with the laptop not shutting off after halt.

For me deleting recently-used.xbel and recreating it with no content solved the problem just temporary. But instead of creating a equally named directory one could also sudo chattr +i recently-used.xbel to keep the file empty.
Keeping the file empty also significantly speeds up the application launcher for me. so it would be nice to have a way to configure this instead of fixing it that rude way, for folks that dont want or need recently used files.

Kaurin · 2012-02-21 22:53:38

Holy mother of cow cheese! The applications menus do open at lightning speed now (after creating a recently-used.xbel). Yeah, there definitively should be a way to disable that feature in the configs.. if not already possible.

I agree with that! And someone should tell to gnome guys to use something more efficent than xml!
