Description Reda Lazri 2011-09-14 12:45:50 UTC

dmesg shows this message:

[19158.454034] gjs[4842]: segfault at 0 ip b7703ff7 sp bfe4bee0 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.2990.0[b76f1000+4e000]

I'm using: 

Archlinux
GNOME 3.1.91 from [gnome-unstable] repo + latest updates.

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2011-09-14 16:23:02 UTC

Can you run gnome-documents on the commandline in gdb, and capture a stacktrace ?

errors from running gnome-documents

OK, compiled gnome-documents and gjs. Now I'm getting this in gdb: 
"/usr/bin/gnome-documents": not in executable format: File format not recognized

Also, running gnome-document gives this.

The correct way of hooking up gdb there is to launch gjs with the same arguments the gnome-documents launcher does (see /usr/bin/gnome-documents), e.g:

gdb --args gjs -I /usr/share/gnome-documents/js -c "const Main = imports.main; Main.start();"

Comment 4 Reda Lazri 2011-09-14 17:21:33 UTC

OK, one last question, is there any additional package that needs recompiling beside gnome-documents and gjs. I'm getting: Reading symbols from /usr/bin/gjs...(no debugging symbols found)...done.

Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2011-09-19 13:46:51 UTC

I'm not sure it's the same issue, but here's my stack trace:

Trace of trying to start gnome-documents 

I'm not sure if it is the original bug report either, but here is the trace I get. I've never been able to get gnome-documents running for more than 30 seconds. Sometimes it comes up, but crashes with sigsev in gjs when trying to open a document or to change between grid- and listview.

Comment 7 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-09-29 19:39:19 UTC

Is this still an issue with an up-to-date 3.2 stack? (including the latest Tracker).

@Gert: make sure to have the latest versions of gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-symbolic installed in your prefix.

Comment 8 Vincent Untz 2011-09-29 19:42:53 UTC

FWIW, this works for me now. I suspect updating tracker to 0.12.2 or 0.12.3 helped.

Comment 9 Gert Kulyk 2011-09-29 20:10:22 UTC

With an up-to-date 3.2 stack gnome-documents no longer crashes for me. 

@Cosimo: I tested gnome-documents since GNOME 3.1.90 came out, I always used up-to-date versions of the icon-theme packages. But like said, crashes of gd are no longer an issue here.

Comment 10 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-09-29 20:16:35 UTC

Cool, I guess this can be closed now then. Please reopen if you still experience the same issues with a fully updated 3.2 stack.

Comment 11 Reda Lazri 2011-09-29 20:19:14 UTC

Everything is working fine here! Thank you!
