[Bug 1210852] Re: gvfsd-http assert failure in g_error_free()
Ok, well I went ahead with 'sudo dpkg -i' for each .deb file. Some depended on others so I had to install certain .deb files first. The terminal outputs made it clear which ones. I also had to run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' before installing 'gvfs_1.18.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb' because of an error that was coming up. Just outlining exactly what I did for any other novices trying to follow. They seemed to install fine, however after all this the problem is not fixed. Apport no longer opens with a crash like before but the image doesn't successfully paste either. Instead the loading circle cursor thing just hangs indefinitely. I still get '** (abiword:3572): CRITICAL **: char* UT_go_url_resolve_relative(const char*, const char*): assertion 'ref_uri != NULL' failed' when running from the terminal. So my guess is that the 'fix' doesn't actually address the error as Sebastien Bacher suggested, but rather just stops it being registered as a crash... Not very helpful for me. Would it be worth me filing a new bug report based on the Terminal output pasted above? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210852 Title: gvfsd-http assert failure in g_error_free() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/1210852/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1210852] Re: gvfsd-http assert failure in g_error_free()
Hi Sebastien, thanks for your explanation. Unfortunately I am still having problems. Here's what I took from your instructions. Steps I added myself to overcome problems encountered are in square brackets: - Run first line in terminal - Run second line in terminal - Make a new file with the contents of that link and put it in /gvfs-1.18.2/debian/patches - Add the name of this new file as a new line in /gvfs-1.18.2/debian/ptches/series - [cd to gvfs-1.18.2 because I was getting error about not finding Debian change log.] - [run sudo apt-get install devscripts from terminal because I was didn't have the 'dch' command.] - [installed GnuPG keys of Debian Developers from software centre because I was getting errors some key errors somewhere]. - Run dch -i 'attempt to fix Launchpad bug number 1210852' in terminal - [Edit changelog so that last edit appears signed by a previous editor (you incidentally) instead of me because I was getting an error after running debuild about my signature not containing a valid email address.] - Run sudo apt-get build-dep gvfs in terminal. - Run debuild in terminal. Along the way I get a few warnings along the way but the way (one common one being warning: Can't extract name and version from library name `libgvfscommon.so' ) but the script continues until it finally ends with: dpkg-genchanges ../gvfs_1.18.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.changes dpkg-genchanges: not including original source code in upload dpkg-source --after-build gvfs-1.18.2 dpkg-source: info: unapplying 1210852.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying ref-jobs-in-thread.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying handle-inactive-vfs.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying dont-crash-on-null-job.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying metadata-nuke-junk-data.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying metadata-dont-flush-null-tree.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 06_metadata_nfs.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 05_shared_libdaemon.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 04_hurd_path_max.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 01_modules_dir.patch dpkg-buildpackage: binary and diff upload (original source NOT included) Now running lintian...

[Bug 1210852] Re: gvfsd-http assert failure in g_error_free()
@Sebastien, I wanted to be able to use Abiword as my word processor as is intended in Xfce. I also think that countless others must have encountered this problem (seeing as it is present on 100% of machines I've tested it on) and found it very frustrating, particularly when trying to meet deadlines and having a crashing computer on their hands. I was told that this is the same bug as the one I originally posted so in my mind a fix for this bug was a fix for my problem and everyone elses. So it seemed logical to have it backported. ... But you're saying that the 'fix' doesn't actually address the problem it just stops apport being triggered? I don't see how that could write this bug off as 'fix released'! I want apport to run when my system encounters an error, otherwise I've got nothing to go on!

[Bug 1210852] Re: gvfsd-http assert failure in g_error_free()
Yes, the link Christopher posted was the original valid report I created before being redirected here. When I first made it the launchpad report title field was already filled and launchpad suggested that it could be the same bug. I had a look and was unsure. The error details were similar but not exactly the same and there was no mention of abiword so I decided to create a new report. Soon after Christopher informed me that it was the same bug so I ditched that report and started hanging out here. If you read my edited version of the bug description of the report we're on now you will find details on how to trigger it. When I was told to make these edits whilst following the SRU procedure I was somewhat unsure because making this bug report so specific to my problem seemed to narrow it. But I continued anyway as that's what I had been asked to do and cautiously explained myself in the description. I can't say whether it is specific to xfce because I have no machines running other desktop environments to test it on. The reason I mention xfce specifically is that it bundles abiword as default word processor so the bug will affect primarily its users. I guess I could try closing xfce and running abiword from the terminal using a keyboard shortcut I came across once? But my guess is it's not specific to xfce...

Ok - well I am of course happy to try it, trouble is that easy-though- it-may-be, I have no idea how to apply the patch. I assume you're talking about this link you posted https://git.gnome.org/browse/gvfs/diff/daemon/gvfsbackendhttp.c?h=gnome-3-10id=de8ad26c71e14a15a3c5eeb05a73033dfccc8d85 ? I get what I have to do to the line, the trouble I'm having is opening the file to edit it. I gather that the file should be root/daemon/gvfsbackendhttp.c I've tried navigating via thunar, but can't access the /root folder. So I tried gksudo thunar from the terminal and then I can open /root but the loading cursor just hangs for a while and nothing inside shows. Also tried gksudo mousepad /root/daemon/gvfsbackendhttp.c and sudoedit /root/daemon/gvfsbackendhttp.c but both just open blank documents the former again with the loading cursor.

[Bug 1210852] Re: gvfsd-http assert failure in g_error_free()
Sorry Christopher, I'm not really confident following those instructions due to my very basic understanding of Ubuntu/Bug fixing and Launchpad procedure. For example I don't feel comfortable editing the description, talking about things like regression potential or even understand 'Upload the fixed package to release-proposed with the patch in the bug report', etc. Perhaps someone could nominate it for me or else I would need more detailed instructions. In the mean time, would it be a bad idea to attempt to compile “gvfs” 1.19.2-0ubuntu1 (from the link in my previous comment) on my Saucy (13.10) machine.
