mtpfs crashed with SIGSEGV

[Richard Appleby]

Binary package hint: mtpfs

Hardy Heron Alpha 5, fully upgraded as of the 9th (time of crash)
Package appears to be mtpfs (fuse filesystem to support MTP devices such as MP3 players), at version 0.8+svn11-1.
I had mounted a Samsung YP-K3, and was manipulating the "Music" folder on the device using standard cp / rm commands from the commandline. I expected to be able to remove existing files, and copy new ones into the device as needed. In practice this worked OK up to the point of the crash, at which point the connection with the device was severed, and I appeared to be unable to re-establish it.

I am having the same problem on Lucid Lynx with latest updates.

[Miek Gieben (miek)]

Happens in Orin^W the latest Ubuntu still. Crashes on 32 bit, works in 64 bit. Even with the latest packages from packages.ubuntu.com it still crashes.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jordan Bradley (jordan-w-bradley)]

What I did was download the source code straight from the writer's website and compiled it. It worked just fine so whatever patched the Ubuntu devs added made it screw up.

That version has died long ago; no more supported
