I just want to confirm that svg files are causing problems on ubuntu 10.10 as well. I have tested several files with a clean and updated install of ubuntu 10.10 amd64 inside virtualbox. When opening the folder which contains the attached svg-file nautilus crashes immediately.
Jan 10 22:36:10 franz-VirtualBox kernel: [ 255.979369] show_signal_msg: 24 callbacks suppressed Jan 10 22:36:10 franz-VirtualBox kernel: [ 255.979382] nautilus[1451]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fb82534b426 sp 00007fb80e8b0638 error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so[7fb8252ca000+17a000] I have several other svg files which are much bigger (15MB) stored in the same folder which don't cause any problems. The attached svg has been created by a friend using with inkscape and the textext plugin (which enables to embed LaTeX rendered formulas). I remember that this file caused problems when trying to print the created pdf as well. When I try to open this svg in firefox: - it crashes immediately when using the File-Open File dialog (I think firefox is trying to create a preview although previews are switched off in the nautilus preferences) - it opens properly when lauched from the command line: $ firefox ~/testsvg/fgfg2.svg As segfaults are sometimes connected with faulty memory: I am using ecc- memory (which should at least reduce the some bit-flipping errors) This bug is limiting my experience with ubuntu and I think that I could try to ask friends to help sponsor to solve this bug, although means are limited. Let me know if you know how much is needed to resolve this bug. (At least a way to disable just the svg preview in nautilus). (Using dolphin as filemanager is another solution, but it doesn't integrate well with the standard ubuntu desktop) ** Attachment added: "fgfg2.svg.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librsvg/+bug/305546/+attachment/1790637/+files/fgfg2.svg.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305546 Title: Nautilus crashing/freezing when opening folder with svg file -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
