Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545174

It crashed when i was using brasero.

It crashed this way for me when I was editing my network connection in network manager

happened to me just some minutes ago. i moved an mp3 to totem to play it. but it was a 0 bytes file. the crash occured when i deletd the file.

I can only duplicate this bug when I have used the ``powertop'' application to disable HAL's polling of the CD drive and then change a CD. So, steps for me to duplicate:

1) insert CD into CD-ROM drive.
2) run ``sudo powertop''
3) after a while, at least on my laptop which is an HP Pavilion DV2815NR, powertop tells you to not let HAL poll the CD-ROM drive.
4) then eject the CD-ROM and re-insert it.
5) the open Rhythmbox. That's when this crash happens for me.

new upstrea comment:

"Would be useful to know which of the strings in append_mount is NULL.
If it is the uuid, I've just fixed this."

could anybody who has the issue get this information? do everybody there use powertop to break things too?

It happened when I wanted to add custom avatar for pidgin. It hangs for a while than a file manager window apperas ...then I choosed a picture - and here is the bug

Just got hit by it. I do not use powertop, and cannot really state what was going on at the time (but I was not mounting or unmounting anything).

My gvfs is at 0.99.5-0ubuntu1.

I opened up Brasero

I too just opened up Brasero.

I just opened a mounted .iso with an .avi movie.

Got it while trying to play mp3 in Totem from samba share

I tried to "print to file" option in firefox and poped up this crash message

I got the same error. Apport doesnt appear in gnome, only under XFCE

I got the same error. Apport doesnt appear in gnome, only under XFCE, that is the reason cause i cant remember what happened when this bug "appear"

Clicked Places and saw there was an arrow next to CD-RW/DVD-+RW. (It was in use at this time.) Upon clicking the arrow, it crashed.

Sorry, the attached crash reports are both from a previous installation, since I had to reinstall from 8.10 alfa 3 to 2.6.27-2, due to a fatal system crash. So plz take caution with interpreting the version data below. I did run the updat procedure in the exact same way though.

don't attach crash files to bug, they can contains private informations and you should use apport to send those

Just got it while opening up a test file that was shown in archive manager.

Same thing here. I popped a blank CD in for burning and got the gfvs crash.

Is this bug still occurring for anyone? GVFS is fine for me now. Moved to incomplete, please post if the problem still exists thanks. This bug will be closed in a week otherwise.

the issue should be fixed in jaunty, closing the bug, you can reopen if you still get the issue though
