nautilus-sendto crashed with SIGSEGV in g_slice_alloc()

[Luca Mattiello]

Binary package hint: nautilus-sendto

Right clicking on a file, then send to, causes nautilus-sendto to crash.

~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04

~$ apt-cache policy nautilus-sendto
nautilus-sendto:

After killing nautilus and relaunching from terminal, this is what i get when "sendto-ing" (apparently it didn't crash anymore, but nothing happened):

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

[Luca Mattiello (aiedail92)]

When run under valgrind, the program doesn't crash and the sendto window pops up normally. Instead trying to launch it normally makes it crash again.

However I have attached the valgrind log.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

thank you for the valgrind, could you get a new log with nautilus-sendto-dbgsym installed?

[Luca Mattiello (aiedail92)]

Here it is

well, this error happened to me when I removed empathy.. there is a package in empathy related with nautilus. this package is called nautilus-sendto-empathy , and the problem occurred when I removed it.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

thank for your comment gero but are you sure you are getting the same issue? the one there is in evolution code not empathy one, you might want to open a new bug about your issue...

[gero (tkd4)]

well I am not quite sure about what you mean, but I can tell you this, sendto was working fine, I used it just a minute before I removed the empathy, then I removed empathy and sendto stopped working, next I re-installed empathy and sendto began to work correctly.

i wish i could help more...

I have found that nautilus-sendto is crashing on my PC. Looking at 'dmesg' output shows the following results from three tries:

Does this look like the same problem or should I file another bug report?

thanks,
hank

I caught almost the same bug as described in this report. I had removed evolution in favor of thunderbird, and after launching `nautilus-sendto <somefile>` it segfaulted with the following message (see attachment).

Luckily, installing the package "evolution-data-server" back, somehow made it work properly. Hope this info be helpful.

[Rainer Rohde (rainer-rohde)]

Happened today for the first time for me in Oneiric by right-clicking on a doc, going to the "send to..." dialog.

[Schoelje (schoelje)]

I'm just a regular user and this is my first post.

Since a clean LMDE 64bit install a few days ago I'm unable to use nautilus-sendto. It simply doesn't show the sendto window.
So it looks a lot like the bug mentioned here.

If I start in terminal:
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension
Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension
Init pidgin plugin
Init evolution plugin
Init gajim plugin

System log shows:
Feb 7 08:46:50 lmde kernel: [ 1694.279339] nautilus-sendto[3503]: segfault at 7f2bcfdf63d6 ip 00007f2bd50aec76 sp 00007fff44174818 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[7f2bd5034000+17a000]

Can somebody confirm this is the same bug?

[Mathieu Cossette (mcossette)]

Happened to me after trying to get rid of Evolution to have a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise default apps installation.. but it seems that
it broke the send to menu in nautilus.

How can we safely remove all Evolution traces without loosing clock indicator and sendto menu ??????

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

don't uninstall evolution-data-server, the name is unfortunate but the service is not only used by evolution, it's also used for contact,calendar by other desktop components
