GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 317194
EOG crash when trying to open a jpeg file over a mounted USB drive
Last modified: 2007-03-18 03:25:09 UTC
Steps to reproduce: This crash happened only 'once' - and I couldn't reproduce it again after remounting my drive. Anyway, this is the sequence of steps I had followed before the crash happened. I've pasted two bug-buddy stack traces for more details. 1. Mount a Compact Flash card as a generic USB drive. 2. Open the mounted location in Nautilus. 3. Open the 'offending' image from that card (default app is EOG) 4. EOG viewer crashed an instant after displaying the image.

Other information: Incidentally, I had noticed that Nautilus had also failed to generate the thumbnail for the image. So it points to a core problem somewhere outside of EOG. However, I'm still raising this bug in the hope that it can be forwarded upstream, if required, after adequate analysis. I'm running a 2.6.13-1.1553_FC5smp kernel (selinux disabled), glibc-2.3.90-12 , glib-1.2.10-16 from the Fedora yum repos.
Created attachment 52647 [details] Test case .jpg image (probably not useful) I've attached the image that was causing EOG to crash. However, I think it is probably not useful since I was unable to reproduce the crash after unmounting and then remounting the compact flash as a USB drive.
Thanks for reporting. This should be fixed in Gnome 2.12.2 (and newer releases). If not, please reopen Bug #311925 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 311925 ***
*** Bug 356705 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I have my doubts about this bug being a duplicated of bug #311925. According with simple duplicated finder[1], it is not. After checking the stacktraces, I think it is not the case. I will reopen it, as there are some bug reports that are duplicated of this one, and not of bug #311925. [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/dupfinder/simple-dup-finder.cgi?id=311925
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use. By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME. Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
