GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

[Laurent Bonnaud]

Binary package hint: eog

eog displays those scary error messages when displaying some JPEG images:

$ eog autotools.jpg

(eog:3215): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed
[same error message repeated 14 times]

Those messages are a problem because they can rapidly fill the ~/.xsession-errors file.

Here is a JPEG file to reproduce the error.

[hellojoker (hellojoker81-deactivatedaccount)]

I have the same problem on natty beta 1. The file reaches the size of 100 MB in a few hours.

I attach a file with errors in the last minute

[hellojoker (hellojoker81-deactivatedaccount)]

 noticed that this does not happen using nautilus as root

[hellojoker (hellojoker81-deactivatedaccount)]

Hi, the problem persists even with fewer errors (nautilus 2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13 Natty x86_64 beta 2).

I attach a video that shows the error

[demilord (demilord)]

My xsession-errors file grows excessively after 2 hours its almost 1MB ..
with 99% with lines

(nautilus:1438): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed
Running Ubuntu gnome classic interface..

[Matt (macmanes)]

Same error as demilord.. Using 11.04 regular view

[Glenn Mc (gmce-93)]

This post probably won't help out but I'm getting the same error too...I don't want to wait 'til October for the .10 release because Natty is pretty great besides this perennial lag.

its heavily flooding xsession-errors on Oneiric i386

[RHTopics (tyrht01)]

This is still happening in 11.10 Desktop i386.

(eog:2245): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

Plus the ~/.xsession-errors contains 264 of these type messages with the system being up for less than 50 minutes.

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

As with bug #738203, the error messages do not appear on the first eog invocation. They are only displayed the second (and later) time.

[Daniel Schlieper (schlieper-r)]

Happens in 11.10 Desktop x64 as well.

(eog:2749): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

[Achim Behrens (k1l)]

running 11.10 64bit with nvidia-current-updates
using radiance theme on unity.

getting the same error for nautilus:
(nautilus:1894): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

unity lags like beeing on a pentium 2 :/

[Stephen Phillips (stephen-kent-phillips)]

This affects me as well.

running 11.10 64bit
Intel video card --

using Ambiance theme on Unity

[Andreas Leitgeb (avl-logic)]

I start "eog somepic.png" from terminal in a directory that also contains a couple of images apart from somepic.png.
somepic shows without any critical-messages. When I change to other pics (with spacebar/backspace, or arrow-buttons) I get 4 CRITICALs per new image displayed.

[[e-mail] (victor-stan)]

Also happens in 11.10 when trying to copy and paste text in gedit, while viewing the log .xsession-error log file. Attached .xsession-errors file

[Devendra Maharjan (devendram)]

How to solve this problem? size of .xsession-errors file is increasing every second

[David Benjamin (davidben)]

Still happens on 11.10. If you use G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals and catch the error with gdb, this bug comes from dbusmenu.

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

I cannot reproduce this bug any longer in quantal. Could somebody else confirm this before I close the bug ?

[dino99 (9d9)]

hi Laurent

i get the same result on quantal i386 (gnome-classic)

[dino99 (9d9)]

So you can close that report i suppose.

[Andreas Leitgeb (avl-logic)]

Is there a remote chance for a backport to pangolin?
