[SOLVED] Thunar crashes!

Hallo.

I updated thunar and exo today (among others, full pacman.log extract quoted)

[2012-12-04 13:25] upgraded exo (0.8.0-1 -> 0.10.0-1)
[2012-12-04 13:26] upgraded lazarus (1.0.2-1 -> 1.0.4-1)
[2012-12-04 13:26] upgraded lib32-fontconfig (2.10.1-1 -> 2.10.2-1)
[2012-12-04 13:26] upgraded lib32-glib2 (2.34.2-1 -> 2.34.3-1)
[2012-12-04 13:26] upgraded lib32-harfbuzz (0.9.6-1 -> 0.9.7-1)
[2012-12-04 13:26] upgraded lib32-pango (1.32.2-1 -> 1.32.3-1)
[2012-12-04 13:26] upgraded lib32-v4l-utils (0.8.8-1 -> 0.8.9-1)
[2012-12-04 13:26] upgraded libmicrohttpd (0.9.23-1 -> 0.9.23-2)
[2012-12-04 13:26] upgraded libssh (0.5.2-1 -> 0.5.3-1)
[2012-12-04 13:26] upgraded pcre (8.31-1 -> 8.32-1)
[2012-12-04 13:26] upgraded thunar (1.4.0-4 -> 1.6.0-1)

and since then every time I open a window and try to double click or right click on a folder, it crashes with a segmentation fault. journalctl gives nothing, but /var/log/messages reports

Dec  4 14:04:36 localhost kernel: [ 2519.578639] Thunar[3536]: segfault at fffffffd ip 00007f06c7217dc8 sp 00007fff93e948e0 error 4 in libc-2.16.so[7f06c71cd000+19d000]
Dec  4 14:04:36 localhost systemd-coredump[3565]: Process 3536 (Thunar) dumped core.

My glibc version is 2.16.0-5 which, as far as I can see, is the latest version. I reinstalled it for good measure, but the problem remains.

Any ideas? Perhaps a thunar bug?

Thank you.

Addendum: I started rodent, it did the same thing.

Dec  4 14:14:41 localhost systemd-coredump[3713]: Process 3677 (rodent) dumped core.

I downgraded thunar to thunar-1.4.0-4 from my cache, both thunar and rodent work. Weird!!

Re: [SOLVED] Thunar crashes!

I think it's glibc related, try downgrading it or rolling back with the ARM trick @ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … ckages#ARM
As you may use "downgrade" script I posted about on LinkedIn @ https://www.linkedin.com/groupAnswers?v … =105851449

The "downgrade" script @ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade/
and usage simple, just issue "downgrade packagename" and you're good to go

Hope it helps.

Re: [SOLVED] Thunar crashes!

It doesn't happen to me on a fully up-to-date system.  If it was glibc wouldn't everyone using thunar have the same problem?

Re: [SOLVED] Thunar crashes!

xpixelz, thank you for your downgrade script!

I found the issue, however, and filed a bug report.

Re: [SOLVED] Thunar crashes!

I’ve had Thunar 1.6 crash on me too, but with the en_GB.UTF-8 locale, so I don’t know if it’s related.
Since I dislike the changes made to thunar, I quickly downgraded to 1.4 which works fine.
