nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in g_closure_invoke() ejecting drives

What you should have said in the description is that this crash is very close to bug 630884, which is reported to be fixed with nautilus 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu1.1.

it looks like it may be related to one usb drive i have; and the way that it sleeps, (it's a samsung story 1tb) i don't have this drive with me at the moment, so the window to interleave ejects to reproduce the bug isn't large enough

ok, i can no longer test for this bug, as the package version of nautilus from proposed apparently went away (apport said it didn't exist, and sure enough it didn't! now i'm getting the plain old boring crash from the other bug)

I tried to reproduce the crash without success for some time, but eventually have got it again on the same scenario. The crash had occurred when I tried to unmount a media (an USB drive) while still having its content displayed in one of nautilus tabs. On such an event nautilus is supposed to switch the content of this tab to the "Computer" representing a list of all storage devices available in the system.

Note: on both those faults the system had been loaded heavily (both in CPU and hard drive usage). Thus, my guess is the fault was due to an attempt of nautilus to access a resource which either had been locked or had not been created yet. I'd suppose to continue testing on different machines under similar heavy load conditions.

ok i sorted out the package snafu that made the proposed version disappear; i'll be looking at getting exact steps for reproduction asap

It seems that the bug is fixed for me. I think the udev related package updates may be related (version 162-2.2).

could anyone else also confirm if the issue has been fixed with the udev update, the changelog seems irrelevant though.

if you can still reproduce the issue, please provide a backtrace of the issue, thanks.

For me, it does not happen anymore if I eject the drive by clicking on the arrow. But if I right-click, and I choose "safely eject drive", nautilus still crashes.
If you give me an hint on how to produce a backtrace I will do.

BTW, in my log I had:

SYS: Jan 9 23:29:14 romano-asus kernel: [31037.528851] usb 1-5: USB disconnect, address 4
SYS: Jan 9 23:29:14 romano-asus kernel: [31037.609198] nautilus[2122]: segfault at 69736976 ip 0808a884 sp bfe03dd0 error 4 in nautilus[8048000+198000]

Romano: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport#How%20to%20enable%20apport about how to get a trace.

The log is interesting, it may indicate that Nautilus tries to get some information from ConsoleKit, which fails. Then, maybe it follows a code path that hasn't been really tested because it doesn't normally happen.

I tried to trigger it again with an USB stick, but it didn't crash. I will let apport enabled and try again at home, this evening, with the SD card that gave me the crash yesterday.

this is still happening with some regularity, i can attach newer dumps if someone tells me how, i have a few at hand

i use "safely eject drive" as well, and did with the other, similar bug; and it's also happening with another drive

Ok, had the crash and the trace. See bug#701375

Hmm. I posted the trace in (new) bug #701375, but it went marked as a duplicate of bug #699664, which I cannot access.

Puzzled. Awaiting instructions :-)

Thanks Romano, it allowed us to discover those forgotten reports! I've made the other bug public.

These traces are very confusing, since they are all very similar to the original bug 630884. I'm going to report this upstream, and see what they say...

Upstream said we should also backport patch from
http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?h=gnome-2-32&id=c3b54e662b52ca15d1dcbe68386b8fa82b12adc5

the bug is fixed in natty since nautilus 2.32.0.1 is already in Natty. linked the branch for the maverick fix.

Uploaded to maverick-proposed. Unsubscribed ubuntu-sponsors (ubuntu-sru already subscribed).

If this is reported to work, it might be wise to directly upload nautilus 2.32.2.1 to maverick-updates, because it includes this fix among others.

now if they could only fix https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627110 :]

Accepted nautilus into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I have been using the proposed version of nautilus for 8days and have found no regressions, marking verification done.

Thanks for the swift response

What about a fix for 10.04.2??? :'(

Still seeing this in 12.04.2.

Still seeing this in 12.04.2 using Nautilus 3.4.2 with all updates current as of 2013-07-03

Any chance of getting this fixed in the LTS release? This is serious impediment to my workflow. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance with troubleshooting
