GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 700116
Nautilus crashes during owner change, when accessed as user
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:15:41 UTC
Hi, I am using ArchLinux, 3.8.11 kernel, gnome 3.8.1 When I try to run nautilus as user and set the permission on a file, it crashes (after setting the correct permission). I tried all solutions suggested in Archlinux forums. Nothing has worked for my problem. I tried to have a look at the coredump, but didn't get a clue how to look for info in that. i dumped the systemd coredump to another file. How to reproduce: 1. sudo nautilus 2. get the properties of a file and then permission tab. 3. set the owner as one user and then set it back to original user. Error: [root@gpdarch ~]# nautilus /home/gpdas/ (nautilus:1135): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_show: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (nautilus:1135): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_spinner_start: assertion `GTK_IS_SPINNER (spinner)' failed (nautilus:1135): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_timed_wait_stop: assertion `wait != NULL' failed ** ERROR:nautilus-properties-window.c:1837:schedule_owner_change_timeout: assertion failed: (NAUTILUS_IS_FILE (file)) Aborted (core dumped) I tried all below, but none of this has helped. 1. run sudo nautilus 2. gksu nautilus 3. after export DISPLAY=:0.0 4. logged in as root from gdm and tried files directly and from terminal. 5. installed gnome-polkit 6. confirmed in freshly installed arch linux and gnome3.8.
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? You can produce a stack trace from the coredump file using gdb. Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Debug_-_Getting_Traces for more information on how to do so on Arch Linux. The debug packages for glib, gtk+ and nautilus are likely to be enough.
Thanks for quick response. Here is the new trace. i installed debug version of glibc glib2 nautilus gtk3. I assume now there are no bissing bits.

Yes, it looks good now, thank you.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
