Public bug reported: ==Impact==
nautilus crashes while typing the term to search a remote directory within an NT file system over the smb protocol. The problem may affect other remote file systems or protocols, but I have only tested these. Repeatable. ==How to repeat== 1. Open Nautilus 2. In the sidebar, click Other Locations 3. Type smb://example/share into the 'Connect to server' field or select an existing share URI 4. Click Connect 5. Optionally, when the contents of the share appears, select any depth of sub-directories. 6. Click the search icon and type a search string 7. Once the search results have returned, without closing the search box, select the previous search term and over-type another search term. Nautilus crashes. Typically, prior to the window disappearing the graphics freezes within the search field showing both the previous and the current search terms on top of each other. Often it is necessary to kill the nautilus process and/or reboot the smb daemon on the remote machine before being able to use the smb share again. Before typing a second search term, if instead of over-typing, you delete the selection either i) with the <DELETE> key; or ii) clicking the (x) to clear the field; or iii) clicking the search icon twice to remove and reinstate the search field; it is possible to search for a second term without crashing. It is possible that the crash depends on how fast the search term is typed, because nautilus starts searching as you type. I have tried to paste a search term over an existing term, which usually seems to work without crashing. On the other hand, I have had nautilus crash when typing a search term after having explicitly cleared the search field, but before nautilus has displayed the full contents of the directory again (about 150 files). I have not had nautilus crash when over-typing the search field for a local file system, whether ntfs or ext3. ==Related bugs== Bug #1795028 seems to be identical, and claims to have been fixed in package nautilus - 1:3.26.4-0~ubuntu18.04.2 but it does not appear to be fixed in 3.36.3 under Ubuntu 20.04. Hopefully this report explains more precisely how to reproduce the crash. ==Crash Reports== A typical crash report from my system is here: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/2dd9aa90-c462-11ea-9e47-fa163e102db1 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-40.44-generic 5.4.44 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-40-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Jul 12 21:03:59 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-06-03 (38 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_nautilus: ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887315 Title: Nautilus crashes while over-typing search term on remote smb file system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1887315/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
