[SOLVED] xfce Thunar closes when right mouse button is clicked

mlpa · 07-31-2010, 08:54 AM

Hi everyone, I use Slackware64 13.1, sometimes when I click in the right mouse button, the thunar window closes.

Can anyone help me

Open a terminal and then run thunar. Are there any error messages that appear in the terminal when you right-click?

mlpa · 07-31-2010, 12:37 PM

I will try that and report.

That sounds like you're missing something that thunar loads on demand. As an example, if libjpeg is missing, then thunar will crash when you click / right-click on a jpg image.

It (rarely) happens to me, too. I also thought it was related to file types but couldn't figure out the cause. I have a full installation so I can't imagine what could be missing.

This is the error that I found with dmesg

Thunar[2227]: segfault at 7f5a140a6ddc ip 00007f5a1c76dc86 sp 00007fff7c17d5a8 error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[7f5a1c6ed000+16b000]

Anyone can help me?

What was the type of file you were right clicking on at the time you had the segfault?

mlpa · 08-12-2010, 02:10 PM

In none. I clicked in the right mouse button to open a terminal in that window.

I just report the bug to XFCE team.
The state of the bug can be seen here.

This just happened to me as well. After it closed by right click Thunar wouldn't even open anymore. After a reboot everything works again. Very odd.

It happens to me something similar with xfce-session-settings when I add a new program to startup.
I get this error

Quote:

bash-4.1$ xfce4-session-settings

(xfce4-session-settings:2518): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to `GtkEntry'

(xfce4-session-settings:2518): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_get_text: assertion `GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed
Segmentation fault

Maybe slackware should ship xfce 4.6.2 that have a lot of bugfix?

JackHair · 08-17-2010, 09:07 AM

I've updated to 4.6.2 already so that doesn't seem to be "The" solution.

mlpa · 08-17-2010, 11:05 AM

You have the same essor in xfce2-session-settings?
Can you try add a something in the autostart programns?

JackHair · 08-18-2010, 12:47 AM

I have compiz-emerald and conky added to auto-start but no problems there.
I've also had Thunar only crash once so far been right clicking allot to try make it crash again, but it didn't happen again.

I did add Thunar archive/media-tags/thumbnailers/vcs plugins before the right click crash. Might have something to do with one of the plugins.

edit:
Okay just had it crash again. After the crash ran Thunar from terminal and got this error:

(thunar:24588): Gtk-WARNING **: A floating object was finalized. This means that someone
called g_object_unref() on an object that had only a floating
reference; the initial floating reference is not owned by anyone
and must be removed with g_object_ref_sink().

Have you tried upgrading to xfce 4.6.2? That might resolve your problem. Robby Workman has the scripts and packages on his site.

Hi guys, I found this post. I want to ask the thunar shipped with Slackware 13.1 was compiled with the new libjpeg and maybe other libraries related to images?
