[Bug 1024057] Re: gnome control center crashed when attempting to open privacy dialogue
Hi, I have been able to reproduce and find the cause of this bug. The bug is triggered when the file .config/user-dirs.dirs is not present. Simply move that file away and you'll be able to reproduce this. Running xdg-user-dirs-update might or might not fix the problem, some variables might not get set in that case, and if there's one variable missing, the privacy pane fails. The bug is actually in the activity-log-manager package. The file src /files-widget.vala, lines 264-272, says: defined_dirs = new HashMapstring, UserDirectory(str_hash, str_equal); defined_dirs.set(Environment.get_user_special_dir(UserDirectory.DESKTOP), UserDirectory.DESKTOP); defined_dirs.set(Environment.get_user_special_dir(UserDirectory.DOCUMENTS), UserDirectory.DOCUMENTS); defined_dirs.set(Environment.get_user_special_dir(UserDirectory.DOWNLOAD), UserDirectory.DOWNLOAD); defined_dirs.set(Environment.get_user_special_dir(UserDirectory.MUSIC), UserDirectory.MUSIC); defined_dirs.set(Environment.get_user_special_dir(UserDirectory.PICTURES), UserDirectory.PICTURES); defined_dirs.set(Environment.get_user_special_dir(UserDirectory.PUBLIC_SHARE), UserDirectory.PUBLIC_SHARE); defined_dirs.set(Environment.get_user_special_dir(UserDirectory.TEMPLATES), UserDirectory.TEMPLATES); defined_dirs.set(Environment.get_user_special_dir(UserDirectory.VIDEOS), UserDirectory.VIDEOS); which gets translated into calls like this one, for example: _tmp42_ = self-priv-defined_dirs; _tmp43_ = g_get_user_special_dir (G_USER_DIRECTORY_DOWNLOAD); gee_abstract_map_set ((GeeAbstractMap*) _tmp42_, _tmp43_, GINT_TO_POINTER (G_USER_DIRECTORY_DOWNLOAD)); If the userdir file is not present or the variable not defined in it, the call to g_get_user_special_dir will return null (documented behaviour), which will make gee_abstract_map_set fail. The code needs to be reworked to take into account that these dirs might not be set. ** Package changed: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) = activity-log-manager (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1024057 Title: gnome control center crashed when attempting to open privacy dialogue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/activity-log-manager/+bug/1024057/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
