Created attachment 6558 backtrace from thunar starting up with detailed list view enabled (and instantly segfaulting) Whenever I want to access my home folder, and have the "detailed list view" enabled, thunar crashes with a segmentation fault. All (?) other folders work fine, and also I can see my home folder in "simple list view" and "icon view". I have this problem since a few weeks, in these weeks I also changed the system time zone a few times via the xfce settings manager (I am suspecting thunar does not like the time of a certain file in that folder) I am on Xubuntu 14.04 and use XFCE 4.12 from the ppa at https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xfce-4.12 Attached is the backtrace from thunar starting up with detailed list view enabled (and instantly segfaulting), plus a detailed "ls" from the homefolder
Created attachment 6559 ls in the problematic folder
I digged a bit deeper into that issue, since it prevented me to use thunar at all. Via strace I found the two problematic files in my folder, both openvpn test certificates/keys. I will attach them (no worries, they are in no use anywhere). Both files have a invalid(?) Access time set, `stat ta.key` shows: $ stat ta.key File: ‘ta.key’ Size: 636 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 1bh/27d Inode: 2813079 Links: 1 Access: (0775/-rwxrwxr-x) Uid: ( 1000/ bob) Gid: ( 1000/ bob) Access: 3735167774830903552 Modify: 2015-10-29 19:12:04.000000000 +0100 Change: 2016-06-28 21:39:53.026144899 +0200 Birth: - All other files I checked have an access time in the same format as Modify or Change. I don't know about the specifications of the times here, but apparently the files are invalid? No idea which program caused this issue though. Well, my problem is solved, but maybe thunar should be more failsafe with invalid files like this. KDE's krusader for instance has no issue with displaying a folder with these files inside.
Created attachment 6717 file with invalid access time (no idea if the upload here changes the file though)
