Description Atri Bhattacharya 2012-09-13 09:46:32 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.22+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Chromium/17.0.963.56 Chrome/17.0.963.56 Safari/535.22+ SUSE/12.2 (3.4.2) Epiphany/3.4.2

After installing the recent glib2 update, opening a terminal by right clicking on the file browser and selecting "Open a terminal" causes a terminal to open and crash immediately. Opening a terminal from the desktop menus etc works fine though. The nautilus-open-terminal thing used to work fine prior to installing the glib2 update. Indeed, downgrading glib2 back to the original 12.2 version makes the crashing terminal problem go away as well.

changelog for recent glib2 update:-
30 August 2012 (dimstar@opensuse.org):
- Add glib2-cmdline-parser.patch: Fix parsing of comments in
command lines (bgo#562907, bnc#774564)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install all updates from the update channel (including glib2)
2.Close all nautilus windows and open a new nautilus window
3.Right click and select "Open in terminal"
Actual Results:  
Terminal opens and crashes immediately.

Expected Results:  
No crash

Can you get any debug information? Stack Traces? Error messages?

strace output from running nautilus and causing the crash

I was look for error messages, but there don't seem to be any at all. I have attached the strace log from running nautilus and causing the terminal crash.

Comment 4 Dominique Leuenberger 2012-09-13 17:37:13 UTC

Can you try a simple rebuild of nautilus-open-terminal against the new glib?

Comment 5 Atri Bhattacharya 2012-09-13 21:34:21 UTC

I did that, in a branch project. However, that didn't help. The crashes still occur as mentioned above. Additionally, gdb gives nothing either :(

Comment 6 Dominique Leuenberger 2012-09-13 21:39:03 UTC

Thanks for the test...
as an other confirmation: the exact same behaviour sneaked into GNOME:STABLE:3.6 (and thus also GNOMe:Factory).

Comment 7 Dominique Leuenberger 2012-09-14 09:27:16 UTC

A very quick idea to test:
Can you please give the packages in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dimstar:/bnc780174/standard/ a swirl?

Comment 8 Atri Bhattacharya 2012-09-14 09:47:10 UTC

Hi Dimstar!
Thanks a lot. Your packages in c7 indeed fixes the problem. No more crash on right click -> open terminal from nautilus.

Comment 9 Dominique Leuenberger 2012-09-14 09:57:37 UTC

Thanks...

@maintenance: I guess no objections of pushing this? All fixes from the previous update are included, plus 'some more' (addressing the regression introduced)

Comment 10 Marcus Meissner 2012-09-14 09:59:18 UTC

please do.
