[Bug 1514912]

I'm still getting random Thunar crashes. I gave up on newer distros and went back to Xubuntu 15.04 and for the most part Thunar is stable but then every now and then some condition is met which causes it to crash. Today it was moving files between windows yet again. I wonder if a solution to

Harald's patch solves the drag/drop crashes. Roy's patch solves the renaming crashes. I guess we need to combine them both. Perhaps someone with more programming experience can tell us if the two patches are likely to interfere with one another. -- You received this bug notification because you

@yuri. Thanks Yuri, I appreciated the PPA. Much easier to test. After some additional testing: kernel 4.9.4 patched Thunar hangs when trying to view contents on newly inserted flash drive. kernel 4.7.10 same. Thunar hangs. Can't mount or view contents. BUT I have discovered that thunar only

[Bug 1512120]

Just an additional update on my experiences. Thunar using Martin's binary (with the just Harald's patch). Not one crash. I have managed to crash the desktop again, however. I downloaded the latest Firefox archive and extracted it to the desktop. When file-roller finished extracting and went to

[Bug 1512120]

Still no crashes for me. Curiously, I have detected one of the related bugs is still present though. I'll mention it here because I think it is related to the crashing bugs. After dragging and dropping a file from one thunar window to another, sometimes to source window adds a ghost entry of the

[Bug 1512120]

@ Martin Dauskardt Are you using Xubuntu 16.04? Aren't you experiencing any of these crashes? I don't understand why I am the only one seemingly affected. I did a clean install of xubuntu 16.04. No PPAs added. All xfce configuration were deleted with the clean install. Yet for me thunar crashes

[Bug 1512120]

Thank you, Martin. I will explore changing my default view. I've always had it on detailed view so I'll be able to see the effect of that quickly. If that fails I'll try the thunar file you directed me too. I remember I tried 15.10 when it came out but there were so many issues with it I went

[Bug 1512120]

I now feel confident in saying that Martin's patched thunar binary is worth trying for anyone who has had enough of thunar crashing all the time. I do not know why the "patched" version from the official 16.04 repositories is so unstable but I have not had a single crash in 24 hours with

[Bug 1512120]

I don't want to proclaim the problem has gone, but I've been trying Martin's patched thunar binary and after dozens and dozens of attempts to trip it I have not yet managed to crash it yet. I'm using detailed view and dragging and dropping between two thunar windows, each pointing to directories

[Bug 1512120]

With some help I was able to compile thunar with the new patch for xubuntu 16.04 Curiously, I wasn't able to trigger a crash running the renaming test but it just crashed during a renaming session using thunar's batch renaming tool. Has anyone else had a crash with the patch? -- You received

[Bug 1512120]

Yes, please add it to the mailing list and ask for Harald's thoughts. I'm not on any mailing lists because I got tired of the egos and flaming. Perhaps if Harald gives his thoughts and something is decided you can just post a small summary here for the benefit of those affected who simply want

[Bug 1512120]

If anyone compiles a thunar binary compatible with xubuntu 16.04 I am happy to test it. I'd be happy to compile it myself but the last time I tried I made a mess of my system because the instructions I found for compiling it weren't accurate enough. But I am happy to help test binaries :) --

[Bug 1512120]

@Roy, when you were testing did you also try to trigger a desktop crash? Most times when I use Extract Here from the right click context menu on the desktop, it extracts the archive but when the temporary directory is renamed > DESKTOP CRASH! Did it yesterday when I extracted the latest firefox

[Bug 1512120]

Perhaps it is time to fund a dedicated, professional software engineer to fix this once and for all. It's clear that parts of the code base need a complete rewrite and at the moment it feels like the patches are only mitigating the symptoms rather than addressing the real cause. Maybe this is

[Bug 1512120]

Nothing can proceed forwards until we get some feedback from the main xfce developers. I'm not even sure if anyone is in charge of the thunar project and my attempts in the past to ask what the status of the project is with regard to fixing the bugs have gone unanswered. Perhaps they have a plan

[Bug 1512120]

Offering a bounty is a nice idea but I still think this requires something bigger. We really need to crowdfund to hire a software engineer to re-write a significant chunk of code rather than just work out a single fix. It might even lead to some of the other papercut bugs getting sorted (I know

[Bug 1512120]

And crashing with dragging and dropping has returned for me. I will roll back to the previous patched version I was using. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512120 Title: [SRU] thunar

I'm now using Thunar 1.82 in the Xubuntu test ppa. The bug is still present. In fact, it is worse if anything. There is ALWAYS a ghost file left after moving files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.
