Suddenly exit during synchronization

Posts: 5 · allencch 2 Jan 2011, 15:50

I have a problem of using FFS when synchronization. But this not happened
always. That is, during the synchronization, the program suddenly exit without
any warning or message (I haven't tried it on console). As a result, the lock
file exists, and the FFS temporary folders aren't moved to trash. This
happened only in GNOME, I didn't face it using XFCE and Windows. Is there any
solution?

That's a new issue. Is there any chance to provide steps how to reproduce it?

Zenju, I am not sure the actual conditions to produce the problem. But the
condition normally I faced was, there were 4 pairs of directories for sync.
And the results are more than one directories contain the files to be move to
trash. Is there anyway to generate log file in Ubuntu?

When running from console the wxWidgets framework (in some cases) gives some
hints about what's wrong. Besides this, the main way to find the cause of such
an error is 1. find a way how to reproduce it 2. debug it. I'll gladly help
with 2. but I cannot do much without 1.

Zenju, I don't know how to produce the error, but this is the output from
the commandline:

**
Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.22.0/gtk/gtkfilesystemmodel.c:746:gtk_file_system_model_sort: assertion failed: (r == n_visible_rows)

Same issue as discussed here:
viewtopic.php?t=959
To the best of my knowledge this is a bug in GTK.

Here's the GTK code for future reference:

Seems to be caused by multithreading bugs in GTK:
