I've got something very comparable: "nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in
gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_generate_thumbnail()". I think it is
best to add my info
When creating an empty image file, the thumbnail-function
gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_generate_thumbnail() makes Nautilus
crash.
This error is only given when running nautilus as root, as normal user
it just crashes without any message.
To get this error:
- open Nautilus
- go to your home-directory with Nautilus
- create an empty jpg or png in your home-directory ("gedit file.png" and then
save this file)
- wait up to 3 seconds
- Nautilus crashes
>From what I read form the code, it seems not to check if data-size is 0
(gdk_pixbuf_get_byte_length is not used), or gets a non-zero width and
length.
See https://developer.gnome.org/gdk-pixbuf/stable/gdk-pixbuf-The-
GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf for documentation and
https://github.com/GNOME/libgnomeui/blob/master/libgnomeui/gnome-
thumbnail.c for the source.
