Tomboy crashes at seemingly random times (probably during auto-sync)

[Andreas Jonsson]

Tomboy crashes at random times (several times a day). I usually have it running with a couple of notes and the search window open. The error message is included below. There appears to be no data loss involved. I think this problem started after I updated to Oneiric on release date, but I am not sure.

There is a disparity between the internal view of the GtkTreeView,
and the GtkTreeModel. This generally means that the model has changed
without letting the view know. Any display from now on is likely to
be incorrect.

I also have another Tomboy bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/513945 . I am mentioning it since perhaps they could be related.

[Andreas Jonsson (sonofjon)]

Sorry, I messed up above and pasted the error output twice (on top of each other). Tomboy just crashed again, so here is a new (looks very similar) error log:

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

[krackersk (krackersk)]

This is also happening to me, Tomboy will crash several times a day. This only started happening to me after I upgraded to 11.10

I have started it from the command line with --debug but the funny thing is that it doesn't crash anymore but I get this error

"Error saving note" and it mentions disk space and permissions, still have plenty of disk save and permissions are fine as the notes will save most of the time.

Below is the debug output:
