Comment 1 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2007-01-01 21:34:59 UTC

I should note that Avahi is not running.

Comment 2 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2007-01-01 21:53:15 UTC

From src/bookmarks/ephy-bookmarks.c:



        if (gnome_vfs_dns_sd_resolve (&reshandle,
                                      service->name,
                                      service->type,
                                      service->domain,
                                      SD_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT,
                                      (GnomeVFSDNSSDResolveCallback) resolve_cb,
                                      data,
                                      (GDestroyNotify) g_free) != GNOME_VFS_OK)
        {
                ephy_node_unref (node);
                g_free (data);

                return;
        }

The code looks ok... after all the error is that the service couldn't be created (presumably because of the lack of avahi).

I guess this is a bug in gnome-vfs, but I really don't know, I'm just guessing :).

Comment 3 Christian Persch 2007-01-01 22:43:00 UTC

> Starting Epiphany with G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings

And gnome-vfs warns when avahi doesn't run.

=> crashes, as instructed.

If you want to catch traces from warnings etc you don't want G_DEBUG, just set EPHY_DEBUG_BREAK=trap and run ephy in gdb.

Comment 4 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2007-01-01 22:45:05 UTC

I don't use G_DEBUG, except for now when I wanted to get the trace for this bug report ;)

Comment 5 Christian Persch 2007-01-01 23:14:28 UTC

Oh, so the warning is the bug. Then it's a dup of some bug in gnome-vfs (don't have the # right now.)

Comment 6 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2007-01-03 09:51:13 UTC

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
