Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

Can anybody confirm that the bug does NOT occur after deinstalling tumbler?

No, thunar-1.6.10-2 crashes here just as consistently as ever with tumbler uninstalled.

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

I can confirm seemingly random segfaults in Thunar as well. For me, however, it appears to most often happen during move operations.

Nov 01 12:33:35 ArchBox kernel: thunar[12138]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fd8eeab988d sp 00007ffe682c5f68 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.1[7fd8eea85000+51000]
Nov 01 12:33:36 ArchBox systemd-coredump[4478]: Process 12138 (thunar) of user 1000 dumped core.

Package versions:

thunar 1.6.10-2
glib2 2.46.1-1
tumbler 0.1.31-1
linux 4.2.3-1

Edit: By the way, I'm just running Openbox without full fledged desktop environment.

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

I've found that I can only make Thunar crash if I start it with /usr/bin/Thunar. If it's started with /usr/bin/thunar then it never seems to crash. Can anyone else confirm?
Edit: Apologies. I've got it to crash with both executables now. Please ignore.

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

Same issue here. I remember I noticed it months ago, then it was fine, and since last full system update it happens again. Uninstalling tumbler didn't change anything.

4.2.3-1-ARCH
thunar 1.6.10-2
thunar-archive-plugin 0.3.1-5
thunar-media-tags-plugin 0.2.1-2
thunar-volman 0.8.1-1

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

Segfaults for me when pasting new name in rename box. when name is typed crash does not happen every time (2-3). downgrading to glib2-2.44.1-1 fixed the issue.

However Gnome does not start (segfaults) until glib2 is upgraded back to glib2-2.46.2-1 very annoying.

glib2-2.46.2-2 installed and did NOT fix the problem.

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

Patch from this bug report seems to fix all my crashing problems. Currently being tested.

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

The patch has fixed my crashes too, but it is causing my TrueCrypt volume to vanish from the desktop immediately after mounting.

EDIT: TC issue completely unrelated.

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

Just to confirm that Thunar randomly crashes on cut/paste with glib2-2.46.2-2. Uninstalling tumbler makes no difference. Downgrading from glib2-2.46.2-2 to glib2-2.44.1-1 fixes the issue but makes NetworkManager Applet to not appear in the Notification Area.

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

I too experience intermittent crashes with renames and cut/paste operations.

Has anyone resolved the problem.

Yes. Using the patch from the upstream bug report linked in post #32 above.

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

Weird seems there's a bug. `abs core extra community multilib` works fine though. However it does take some time to pull the whole tree.

So if you only need thunar you can do `abs extra/thunar` instead.

I re-sync'd pacman and reran abs and then multilib downloaded normal. Thanks tom.ty89, yes actually just wanted thunar but following wiki and man pkgbuild + have plenty of room on system.

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

After several hours of reading and testing and beating head against wall and couldn't sleep trying to patch via abs, patch and makepkg and realizing its only a couple lines in two files from 6530_patch (see #32), I copied var/abs/extra/thunar to a temp directory in my  /home, chowned it, downloaded the tar.bz2 from Xfce to there, opened it up (w/o extracting to anywhere), edited the two files in mousepad and saved, then ran updpkgsums, then makepkg, checked to see that the edits were in the package, they were so moved the xz file (chown root) to my pkg directory, and pacman -U'd it, rebooted (for better or worse) and so far that patch seems to be working, hadn't noticed anything wonky.

Could you kindly  upload this somewheres?

I will be happy to, but I don't know how to do that yet and the rebuild doesn't have a different rev number if you are asking about the package? My understanding in the bug report is that these edits are still being tested and that the maintainers don't think it gets to root of problem that might be in glib2 and not Thunar. I only copied the edits that are shown in the 6530 patch information at http://bug-attachment.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=6530 (mentioned in post #32). If you just want the method I used, to edit the package, that may take longer, i wrote it down so I have a "how to" reference for similar situations in the future, but no screen shots etc.

Thanks Radioactiveman. I didn't find that particular link last night and kept getting something wrong editing PKGBUILD, pretty sure I had the prepare section wrong as the source and keys would run but I couldn't wrap my pea-brain around what was required in prepare(). I see it now in the link you sent so that will help me down the road!
When its done like this you still run patch command before makepkg? (my guess is no but i got lost between ABS and Patching wiki's)

Correct guess, running makepkg is enough.

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

no, install them in Thunar-1.6.10.tar.bz2, the diff'd lines are in "/src/Thunar-1.6.10/thunar/display-file.c and display-folder.c

Re: Anyone else experiencing segfaults in Thunar upon renaming a file?

Well, for those who like me has troubles with Thunar patching, I made a set of files, actually it is just an official PKGBUILD which run the appropriate patch for thunar-file.c and thunar-folder.c.
Just put them all in any folder you want and run

makepkg

in that folder.
The patched Thunar package will be created, install it using pacman -U ./package.xz
