media-gfx/shotwell crashes on import of photos in mode copy, but not in mode inplace. Happened only on some photos ( was able to import 1000 photos w/o issue): You need a specific collection of photos to see the crash. The bug was reproducible on all available versions of Shotwell. I have found the same issue was already reported to shotwell from other gentoo user. Shotwell developer analyzed log and hinted that it is caused by GSettings-to-GConf mapper. See the link to their resolution/response: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/shotwell-list/2013-April/004825.html Based on their notes I tried to uninstall gconf (had only guake dependent on it) and the issue went away. I was able to import/copy 30Gb collection of photos. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open shotwell 2. Choose "Import photos" in 3. Choose "Copy photos" (does not happen when importing inplace!) 4. Wait for crash if unlucky (did not happened always) Actual Results: Application crashes reporting in console: (shotwell:6623): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_engine_pop_owner_usage: assertion `engine->owner_use_count > 0' failed (shotwell:14699): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed Expected Results: Normaly finish photo import Had gnome-base/gconf-3.2.6-r1:2::installed Seen the issue on 2 computers running gentoo, with different gconf and shotwell versions. I use paludis package manager, thus no "emerge --info"
So the solution is to drop gconf? Or block gconf? @gnome, is this a possible solution?
Why is shotwell using the mapper if it should be able to use dconf directly?
Also, user should use at least gconf -r2 as it includes important patches to fix some crashes ;)
Does the user have gnome-base/dconf installed?
Had gnome-base/gconf-3.2.6-r1 Still have gnome-base/dconf-0.18.0 Will try out to replicate with gconf-r2
(In reply to Radek Kazbunda from comment #5) > Will try out to replicate with gconf-r2 if you could do this, that would be great. Perhaps we can narrow this done to some problems in gconf.
Is this still existing?
Please reopen if reproducible.
