Segfault when opening folders that have just been pasted into an empty folder. #2495

I too noticed a couple of crashes recently but haven't tracked down the cause. Presumably due to a recent commit. I'll look into it further. |
|
I cannot even use the file browser to open folders in code app. If i use the parent folder and merely clicking on the affected folder in the sidebar instantly closes the code app. It's affecting my notes folder. |
|
Do you mean using the "Open in" option in the folder context menu in Files to open a folder with Code? Does this affect all folders or only your "notes" folder? Is it reproducible? Can you try to get a full backtrace from this crash? |
|
@sudanchapagain Does the crash always happen immediately after navigating to a new location? If you can get a crash while running under |
|
Have you installed Nix on Horus? Files is not Flatpak so that should not be involved. |
no, basically

It crashes after i click on the folder in the code app. The file picker allows me to navigate inside of it too. Also, it seems to fixed on my notes folder now. But i found another folder. Idk what makes the folder fixed after a while.
yes i have Nix on Horus. |
|
Interesting. Did the contents of the notes folder change? It might be worth running a file system integrity check. |
|
I think it did. I was able to open the contents with helix editor on the terminal. I don't remember. Also, i think (not concretely sure) but when a application is already using a directory and when another tries to use it. It creates problems. Just today i installed firefox alongside zen. I had zen open, and then afterwards i opened firefox. Everything was fine and suddenly i was no longer able to create new tabs it would auto close on the firefox side. IDK why but I ran |

Were the problematic folders on NTFS or btrfs? I haven't used either of those with Files. If other apps are also having problems it could be an upstream problem perhaps with the way |

OK, thanks. If you are able and willing, you could try building and installing the previous release of Files I guess. Sometimes the only way of tracking down a bug is to find which commit caused it to happen. As I cannot reproduce it I am unable to do this. |

So, i installed thunar and nautilus. I have issue in both file managers. I dont think it's related to elementary's files. i have same backtrace too. What could be the issue? |
|
All three of the filemanagers you tried are based on Gtk/GLib so it could be an upstream issue with that framework and the modern filesystems you are using. You could try installing a KDE filemanager like Dolphin to see whether it has the same issues. If so you need to dig deeper and start looking at data corruption or hardware issues I guess. Are you multi-booting with Windows by any chance? If so does Windows have similar issues? |
|
I'll close as it does not seem to be an exclusively Files issue. You can still comment here. |

The occasional crash I was experiencing seems to be unrelated. I have run Files for several days under |

What Happened?
