** Description changed: Thunar segfaults immediately when run on a G4 (PowerPC) Mac Mini. xfdesktop crashes almost as quickly (I had to click on a desktop icon). Here's my adventures with this bug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=977120 I did an "apt-get source" in order to debug the problem but found that after I'd rebuilt Thunar with dpkg-buildpackage, it worked fine. I then rebuilt xfdesktop4 with the same results. I eventually built working packages for everyone: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6163764&postcount=21 ...but it would be better if these packages were just rebuilt and distributed via "apt-get upgrade". I have tried comparing the working and non-working binaries and it looks to me like there might have been an incorrect version of a library when they were built - possibly libglib. See my comments in the forum about it - it may be a good idea to discover what happened because perhaps other packages should also be rebuilt. + + --- + SRU requirements + + Impact of this bug: the primary file manager for Xubuntu cannot be run + and Xubuntu's desktop manager also crashes frequently. + + Fix: no source changes, just a package rebuild. Since I can't see what + libraries are in use on the build machine, I can't say what went wrong. + I am happy to test any new package builds before they are released, or + to assist in comparing the official build environment to mine. + + I rebuilt the packages with an installed Xubuntu system like so: + 1. sudo apt-get build-dep thunar + 2. apt-get source thunar + 3. cd thunar-0.9.0 + 4. debuild -b + + Patch: not required. + + Regression potential: none. + + Detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug. These should allow + someone who is not familiar with the affected package to reproduce the + bug and verify that the updated package fixes the problem. You can use + this template: + + TEST CASE + + PROCEDURE: + 1. install Xubuntu + 2. click on the "places" icon on the panel + + or (in Ubuntu) + 1. install Thunar + 2. run Thunar + + RESULT ON PASS: + Thunar runs without a segmentation fault + + RESULT ON FAIL: + Thunar crashes immediately with a segmentation fault.
