was the patch: 01_fix-infinite-dialog-spawn.patch

This patch should fix the problem xfburn is asking unlimited times to erase a disk.

was the patch: 03_uint-screwed-up-the-1-return.patch

This patch should fix the issue, that xfburn is crashing when hal is not running.

modified ebuild

I modified the file xfburn-0.4.2.ebuild with this patch. The patches apply cleanly and it compiles fine. At least for me it fixes the segfaults xfburn had before.

I can confirm I get the infinite dialogs for erasing discs and the random segfaults after a successful burning.

I'm running ~amd64 no-multilib.

The relevant attached patches fix the infinite dialogs and segfaults for me too.

[Comment 6 David Mohr 2010-02-09 17:51:10 UTC]

Please report any crashes upstream at http://bugs.xfce.org . I'm not aware of any crashes, at least with master. 

If anyone can provide me a backtrace that would be useful. I'm going to release any day now, and if there are known crashes I'd like to fix them before that...

[Comment 7 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-02-16 17:49:02 UTC]

So, I assume this was reported to http://bugs.xfce.org/ as per Comment #6 as requested by upstream? 

And is now fixed in 0.4.3 release, added to portage half an hour ago?

[Comment 8 David Mohr 2010-02-16 17:57:11 UTC]

Since I never got a backtrace, I can only say that the patches attached to this bug report are included in the 0.4.3 release.

Thanks. Good enough for me based on the provided information, closing

(Reopen if it doesn't work)

Hi David, Samuli,

Sorry, I simply didn't have time to get a backtrace done and haven't seen the problems since applying the patches.  I did notice in the 0.4.3 changelog some fixes that sounded related, so I'll see how that release goes and I'll report upstream any problems.

Thanks and regards,

Josh
