On my dual-boot PC i try to use thunar to show Windows 10 (Home) "Windows" folder: Error Message ( german locale, translated ): Error in thunar when opening Windows folder: read information of bfsvc.exe No Probs with midnight commander or Dolphin in KDE. Info: thunar 1.8.4 on Manjaro XFCE with: CPU: Quad Core Intel Core i5-6400 (-MCP-) speed/min/max: 3205/800/3300 MHz Kernel: 4.20.10-1-MANJARO x86_64 Up: 3h 09m Mem: 1432.6/15986.4 MiB (9.0%) Storage: 3.18 TiB (7.6% used) Procs: 229 Shell: bash 5.0.0 inxi: 3.0.30 all up to date.
what i found: bfsvc.exe Boot File Servicing Utility Runs the files necessary for booting the OS. May involve the BIOS. Location of this file is NOT Windows(?!!), so where thunar detect this file?
Possibly you can get more output when you launch thunar via console. Use "thunar -q; thunar" to make sure you get all the output. Neither have a windows, nor a NTFS partition, cannot reproduce the bug.
thunar -q; thunar Open folder /Windows/ on NTFS doesn't give any output at all ?!!
my guess up was false: the bfsvc.exe is located in Windows folder but its a hidden file!
So it crashes as before ? You can try to get the backtrace, to see in which line it crahes, like explained here: https://docs.xfce.org/contribute/bugs/start
using gdb /usr/bin/thunar in Terminal i see: Starting program: /usr/bin/thunar [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

(gdb) thread apply all bt full thunar crashes here on opening folder /Windows/ (gdb) set logging off Done logging to trace.log. (gdb) quit trace.log is empty, i think thunar is optimized, so no debug-symbols in it?! gdb tells me: Reading symbols from /usr/bin/thunar...(no debugging symbols found)...done. I've looked in Windows 10 Explorer: that file is owned by .... AND "Trusted Installer" See: https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+10+trusted+installer But don't invest too much time in that, i use a different FileBrowser if i need something out of /Windows/ ...
Sorry for the late reply ! Per default thunar (like most packages) is packaged without debug symbols. Usually there is a way to add debug symbols. How to get a full backtrace from thunar is described in the "backtraces" section in https://docs.xfce.org/contribute/bugs/start It is different for each distribution .. if you are motivated, please take a look !
... once in a year i want to open /Windows folder and for that its ok to use PCmanFM, that works. So thanks for your reply!
