File manager hangs when creating properies for asf file

[Wolf Canis]

Hello,
if I try to show the property dialogue for a asf file, produced with my camcorder, in the file
manager then only a dialogue with the message "Creating the properties..." or something
like that appears. I can cancel this operation but if I want reload the content of the file manager window than nothing happens only the rotating circle stands there and if I go
one level up and then in the previous directory, the same behaviour, only the rotating
circle. The only solution is, completely log out and log in again.

With mplayer there are no problems, only with nautilus and totem.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thank you for your bug. Could you get a backtrace for the hang as described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace? Do you have a link to point where to download an example triggering that problem?

[Wolf Canis (wolf-canis)]

Hello Sebastian Bacher,
I will try it, but the file manager doesn't crash, only hangs. But I will see what I can do. Perhaps it's helpful to have a 10 second video. That could I post. What do you think a about that suggestion?
I tried gdb, but with out a crash that isn't very useful.

Mr Canis

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

You can get a backtrace of the hang by doing "ctrl-C" on the gdb prompt when it's hanging and then typing "thread apply all bt". If the 10 second video does hang the file manager it would be useful, if not there is no real point for it

[Wolf Canis (wolf-canis)]

Hello Sebastian Bacher,
I will do so, but first I will install the debug symbols for nautilus.
Coming back soon.

Mr Canis

[Wolf Canis (wolf-canis)]

Hello Sebastian Bacher,
I did how you suggested, but after typing CTRL+C in gdb, gdb terminates. The error still happened. I attach the video, perhaps you can reproduce it. I try it later again.

Mr Canis

[Wolf Canis (wolf-canis)]

Hello Sebastien Bacher,
that doesn't work.
I did following:

1) start gdm in a terminal
2) I follow the instruction from the site under point "Already running
programs"
3) I open a file manager window, go into the directory where the asf
file resides. Than open, from the context menu, the properties. A
dialogue appears, which me tells that the file manager are creating the
properties and that's all, nothing happens further. I wait 10 minutes
and press the cancel button. The dialogue disappears but the directory
is unusable, nothing works.
4) I type in the terminal window CTRL+C and gdb terminates without any
message.

Sorry.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
                  Mr Canis

Hello,
that's what gdm are logged. I don't believe that this is helpful but for completeness I post it. Perhaps it helps.

Mr Canis

[Wolf Canis (wolf-canis)]

Hello,
here another gdb backtrace. This one I have made as follows:
I logged in normaly (desktop) and console (tty1). On the console I started the gdb and attached gdb to the running nautilus. Then I went back to the desktop and start the file manager and so on. Then I cancelled the creating dialogue, logged out and went to the console and did the following:
- backtrace
- info register
- thread apply all backtrace
- quit

The attachment is the result.

The example video hang gst-launch-0.10, I've forwarded that upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403188

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

fixed upstream

[Andreas Schildbach (schildbach)]

This bug is still present in current Gutsy.

[Andreas Schildbach (schildbach)]

This bug is still present in Tribe 1. Sebastien, what package exactly needs to be synchronized from upstream?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Andreas, if you look at the bug URL or the task list, there is the name of the component concerned there

[Andreas Schildbach (schildbach)]

Thanks to the latest upload of gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly (0.10.5.3-0ubuntu1), both the video attached to this bug and my example video at bug 93415 play fine. However, invoking properties on either file just crashes Nautilus.

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

Can you attach a backtrace of the crash?

[Andreas Schildbach (schildbach)]

I'm sorry, "backtrace full" yields "No stack."

I have installed "nautilus-dbgsym" from "deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs gutsy main universe"

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Fixed in Gutsy.
