Description Emmanuel Pacaud 2006-08-29 18:22:01 UTC

Gnucash crashed on quit after the following step:

  - Save by clicking on save tool button
  - Then close by clicking on window close button
  - Gnucash asked wether I want to save or not changes (which is strange...)
  - Then crash...

It's gnucash package from ubuntu edgy.

Here's the backtrace:

Comment 1 Christian Stimming 2006-09-04 11:32:16 UTC

Thanks for reporting this problem. After you clicked the "Save" button, did you click the "Close" button *immediately* while the saving process was still ongoing? Or are you sure the process of saving already finished? We've had problems in the past if gnucash quits while saving is still ongoing, so that's why I ask.

Comment 2 Emmanuel Pacaud 2006-09-04 16:44:56 UTC

I don't remember, but I can replicate a crash with a similar backtrace by clicking on window close button during file saving. Gnucash pops a window asking if I want to save/discard the current document, and crash if I click on "Save".

(By the way, thanks to all gnucash developpers for the 2.0 version. Very well done!)

Comment 3 Christian Stimming 2006-09-08 08:18:57 UTC

*sigh* This exact bug has been reported as bug#334482 but we thought it had been fixed by bug#334090 already in gnucash-1.9.6. Even before that we had the similar bug#155327 but this has been fixed in gnucash-1.9.2. What's going on here? Is this one of the two fixed bugs above or yet another new one?

Comment 4 Christian Stimming 2006-09-08 08:26:50 UTC

Oh, and just for completeness: Is your gnucash file saved in compressed form or in plaintext form? Please check the preference under "General" (or was it "File") and/or try to open your gnucash data file with a text editor. Probably it is saved in compressed form.

I'm asking because the relevant failed assertion from frame#10 is shown in frame#9. It's the failed assertion in io-gncxml-v2.c:1292 which reads:

    /* avoid reading from file that is still being written to
       by a child process */
    g_assert(gzip_child_pid == 0);

Oops.

Comment 5 Emmanuel Pacaud 2006-10-09 18:55:31 UTC

Mieux vaut tard que jamais... (better late than never...)

I've checked the account file format, and yes, it's a compressed file.

Comment 6 Emmanuel Pacaud 2006-10-09 18:57:09 UTC

Im' changing the version info. It's an ubuntu egdy package built from r14585.

Comment 8 Christian Stimming 2006-11-14 08:56:18 UTC

The other duplicates bug#372142 bug#372998 experience this on the first try of the program. The file is certainly saved in compressed mode there because that's the default. We really need to do something about this...

We should add the Debian/Ubuntu team to the CC of this bug so they can push out 2.0.5.  I'm sick and tired of all these poor souls using a broken release and then coming to US because their distribution is too dain-bramaged to supply an updated, fixed version.
