** Description changed: - Ubuntu 18.04 is an LTS and still used by many people including me (I still have it with cinnamon on 2 my computers), I saw https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nemo/+bug/1861968 I already had in past and easy to reproduce I searched the upstream patches to solves it, I also added another small patch that fix another crash case I had reproduced (https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/2248), I did a patch for a SRU for bionic (in attachment). + [Impact] + There are some cases where nemo crash on umount for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nemo/+bug/1861968 + this has occurred and has been reported by many users (even outside of here) + I also had this issue and like other users before know it is cause the fails of files copy running in another nemo window. + In case of some operation like copy it is significant, even more so with cutting operations. + This is solved by upstream patch https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/commit/4ffea61b26033da1305ab8287058044065a1c101 in nemo 4.0.0 and also backported in 3.8.6. + + I included also a small patch that solves another crash case (https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/2248): + https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/commit/b19f8d2e60df82628bbf609522a6a5b20fa4e72c + Applied upstream in nemo 4.6.0 + + [Test Case] + For the crash on umount, simply umount something from nemo and nemo will crash (closing also any operation, like copy/cut running in it). + + For the second patch keep mouse clicked when rename file/folder and + press enter and nemo will crash. + + [Where problems could occur] + The first patch about the crash on umount is easy to reproduce, many users already reported it after it caused problems with ongoing operations. + Patch is upstream for over 2 years and I have not found regressions about it from a fast search. + + The second patch is rarer to happen but in some cases doing some + operations quickly could happen so it seems useful to backport this too + as it is a small patch with minimal impact and used upstream for a year + already. + + + I did a patch for a SRU for bionic (in attachment). I also build and tested it: https://launchpad.net/~fantonifabio/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-fixes + I used on my notebook (used regularly) and I have not seen regressions until now.
