I instrumented thumbnailer to print some text when it is created and called. Then I copied images to the Pictures directory and clicked around. It turns out that ThumbnailGenerator::requestImage is never called. The generated thumbnails do not appear in ~/.cache/thumbnails either (which they should, unless gallery-app is requesting large enough images).
I wrote a thread torture test for thumbnailer and ran it under helgrind for 15 minutes or so and it produced no thread errors. Even more strangely I can't reproduce this any more. Tapping on an image while others are loading works just fine. All of this, combined with bug #1375238, makes me suspect that there is a threading bug/buffer overrun somewhere else in the stack and it just happens to manifest itself as this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368492 Title: crash opening image file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thumbnailer/+bug/1368492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
