gqview crashed with SIGSEGV in g_main_context_dispatch() amd64

[zvaral]

Binary package hint: gqview

gqview crash occurred when I watched a jpg file and I started an other gqview session in the same time. (Two gqviews had to be run.)

This issue is presented also if one wants to open a picture (particularly I opened jpeg image) from the gnome file browser directly the way clicking to the picture by the right mouse button and choosing the "open with -> gqview" menu point from the appearing list.

In Karmic (uname: Linux 2.6.31-12-generic x86_64) the bug is triggered by setting gqview as the default image viewer and clicking an image, or using command-line like this: gqview -r image.jpg. The -r option forces any new image to load in an already existing gqview window. This worked fine in Jaunty, but fails in Karmic. (Note that -r is the default option for the menu-launcher.)

As far as I can tell, the packages for Jaunty and Karmic are identical. I compiled from source (gcc 4.4.1-4ubuntu6, gqview_2.0.4.orig.tar.gz + gqview_2.0.4-5.diff.gz) and the crash went away.

Simply clicking a jpeg in Nautilus causes this crash for me. If Gqview is already running I can open jpegs just fine. Having Gqview as the default picture viewer to open jpegs from Nautilus crashes Gqview everytime.

This does not happen in 32-bit.

I upgraded to Karmic yesterday and can comfirm this bug (also amd64).

This is a workaround, that temporarily solves the problem for me: Open nautiuls and right click on a jpg-file. Choose "Open with" and select the last entry "Other application". Then at the bottom you can set a user-defined application. In the line-edit type "/usr/bin/gqview". This should open the image in gqview now.

Right-click on a jpeg, select "Properties" and then "Open with". Select the new entry "gqview" (without icon). This sets your "new gqview" to the default application for jpeg-Files.

Another workaround: download, compile and install the lastest development version, found in http://gqview.sourceforge.net/view-down.html

GQview has been replaced with Geeqie: a fork of gqview in Lucid because GQview is no longer maintained upstream.
Can you test whether this problem still occurs with Qeeqie? The geeqie package is already available next to the gqview package in Karmic.

Thanks in advance!

[Daniel (daniel-blaschke)]

No, the problem seems to be fixed in Geeqie.
no more crashes the Lucid-version :)

Thanks for checking, closing as fixed then.

I can confirm that Geeqie is working well on both 32bit and 64bit versions of Karmic.

Thank you
