This issue only seems to be present on xubuntu after a variety of testing, but further testing will occur.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[wheep (wheep)]

This also happens on kubuntu (24.04)

[Phil Wyett (kathenas)]

Just now can confirm a similar crash on kubuntu 24.04 development branch.

Ubuntu 24.04 development branch @ 17/4/2024

I filed a private crash bug before on filezilla

this bug only happens for me when the dir contains several files

with an .mkv file only, it seems to upload for me

but if an .mkv and a .txt file inside the dir, filezilla crashes

[TheTakylo (thetakylo)]

i have this problem on ubuntu 24.04 beta when i upload a file
no matter the file, it crashes immediately

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed as the report has a core dump which is invalid. The
corruption may have happened on the system which the crash occurred or during
transit.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

Just for interest sake I found Filezilla 3.66.5 working perfectly on Debian testing.

[TheTakylo (thetakylo)]

the problem comes from filezilla directly, they identified the problem and produced a fix, if you read the topic on their bugtracker

https://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/13056

[wil (steelwil)]

The fix was done 3 weeks ago, how long will it roughly take to filter through to Ubuntu?

[Phil Wyett (kathenas)]

Changing to the libfilezilla package.

Preparing a Stable Release Update (SRU) currently.

[Phil Wyett (kathenas)]

[ IMPACT ]

Stops users uploading files (various file types or multiple) with filezilla.

[ TEST PLAN ]

Testing was done on local and remote workstations.

[ OTHER INFO ]

This is a low impact fix and regression possibilities are low.
