Description Jordi Mallach 2002-10-22 14:17:26 UTC 
Description of Problem:
Trying to do a backup of a windows drive I have to
wipe out, I get a nautilus crash when I try to
copy the "My Documents" folder.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a nautilus window and go to /mnt
2. Drag "Mis Documentos" to a "Vías" folder in the
desktop.


Actual Results:
Nautilus crashes when trying to copy some file, I
can't see which.

Expected Results:
Well, the copy operation should ifnish...

How often does this happen? 
Always.

Additional Information:
I'll attach the output of "find" on that
directory. Some file in there (one of the first it
tries to copy) makes it crash.
Comment 1 Jordi Mallach 2002-10-22 14:29:02 UTC 
It appears to crash in folders which have a trailing "ç" in their name.
There were a few in the docs folder, like
/mnt/Mis documentos/trade 2.0/devte violenciaç

Renaming it to "devte violencia" fixed the crash.
Comment 2 John Fleck 2002-10-22 14:38:24 UTC 
We need to know the version of Nautilus.
We need a stack trace.
Thanks.
Comment 3 Jordi Mallach 2002-10-23 12:47:12 UTC 
Doh, sorry about it. The version is 2.0.7 from Debian, and I forgot to
mention that the files were being copied from a local disk to a NFS
export ($HOME is on NFS).

I will provide bugbuddy's stuff later, when I'm on the box.
Comment 4 John Fleck 2002-10-23 13:10:42 UTC 
Thanks.
Comment 5 Jordi Mallach 2002-10-29 16:44:22 UTC 
Yuck. I accidentally deleted this data. I tried to reproduce the bug,
creating folders with similar names, but I can't get it to crash again. :/

Feel free to close the bug, if you normally do when you can't
reproduce problems.
Comment 6 Jordi Mallach 2002-10-29 16:52:58 UTC 
Yay! Wait!
I kept on trying.
Since my last post I just did:
mkdir a long, similar dir to the one I posted before, this time in /tmp:
/tmp/Mis documentos/trade 2.0/devte violenciaç/
Filled it with crap (icons I' copied from the pixmaps dir).
chmod'ed them 755 (similar perms on windows drives by default)
Tried to DnD "Mis Documentos" from a Nautilus folder window to the
desktop, into a folder called "Vías". Remember ~/.gnome-desktop is
inside a NFS mount. It crashed very quickly.

Bug-buddy's trace is attached.

*** Bug 98613 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 12 David Kennedy 2002-11-15 15:35:45 UTC 
98613 is a duplicate, copying things off /mnt as well
Comment 13 mwehner 2003-10-12 07:04:15 UTC 
Since this has only been reported for the 2.0.x series, I consider it
fixed in later versions and marking it as such.
