Bug on Yorba Redmine (can't add myself for some reason)
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5656

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Shotwell didn't change and we show similar issues coming from e.g gnome-settings-daemon ... glib bug?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could be due to http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=b0bce4ad41937dabf7e5c94dcce3caf4e88f3f97

[Ingo Gerth (igerth)]

Fine by me to go public. Could you link the bug to Yorba?

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

Atm this is also preventing file-roller from doing extractions, (or at least some.

Fixed recently:

glib2.0 (2.33.8-1ubuntu1) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  * Add revert_g_file_make_directory_with_parents_error_propagation.patch:
    This reverts upstream commit b0bce4ad41937dabf7e5c94dcce3caf4e88f3f97
    which caused applications to segfault. The proper fix will be in the next
    glib release, so this patch should be dropped then. (LP: #1035688)

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Ah, sorry, that only went to quantal-proposed.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package glib2.0 - 2.33.8-1+svn2

---------------
glib2.0 (2.33.8-1+svn2) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  Upload current Debian svn head.

  * Add revert_g_file_make_directory_with_parents_error_propagation.patch:

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Add 07_test_method_calls_on_proxy_bump_max_time.patch: On slower
    platforms, the overhead of the 240 D-BUS Sleep calls is larger than
    the current maximum of 6 seconds. Bump maximum time to 8 seconds to be
    more resilient to this.
  * Add 08_disable_gapplication_basic_test.patch: Disable /gapplication/basic
    test. It's full of race conditions and keeps breaking builds.

heel de pagina wordt onleesbaar , en foto's chrash onherkenbaar met blokjes kleuren lopen door elkaar , als ik daar over een andere pagina zet is deze pag , goed of films deze zijn vrij goed op hoge snelheid ingesteld ! zelfs een film op groot scherm is vrij goed , maar wordt de film gestopt en verklein terug dan kan ook deze pag . chrach . met blokjes . het kan zo slecht worden dat ik de pc moet uitzetten , even wachten ! daarna terug aan zetten , dan is het voor een tijdje beter . herstarten dat helpt niet ! het lijkt er op dat de pc dan niet goed uitgezet wordt .
