GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 683087
Crash opening properties window on certain objects
Last modified: 2016-07-17 19:15:04 UTC
If I navigate to /dev/random, then right click and select properties, the application locks up. This also occurs on some other entries in /dev. The behaviour is consistent. Running Debian "squeeze" 64 bit, kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 with Xfce. Gnome Commander V1.2.8.15.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!
I have obtained a stack trace. I had to press ctrl-C to get the dbg prompt after the crash. I hope this trace helps. Incidentally I use GC constantly; a very useful, and trivial to implement, enhancement would be to have a keyboard shortcut to toggle the display and hiding of hidden files.

Thanks! Any chance to also install debug symbols for (lib)glib2 and (lib)gtk2?
I installed libglib2.0-0-dbg and libgtk2.0-0-dbg Running under the debugger I get an error message "An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for File Manager. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." The dialog box has a "details" button: when pressed it lists the following error multiple times "Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)" Note that this does not occur when running normally - only under the debugger. The stack trace follows. Regards, Peter Hinch (gdb) bt

I can confirm this bug with developer version 1.3.1. Thanks for reporting! Peter, concerning hidden files: Try to use Ctrl+Shift+h, this is what you searched for.
