gedit hangs when opening a symlink from an archive that points to a text file in the archive. After it hangs, I am unable to force quit or anything. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a symlink in an archive pointing to readme or another text file 2. Don't extract the whole archive. It will lock up on it's own 3. Actual Results: In the status bar, it says opening "/tmp/fr-YRV8Gj/john-1.6/README"... and it just stops. I can't quit or force quit and it also caused system monitor and xterm to not open when requested. (couldn't close gedit or open system monitor or xterm while it was open) Expected Results: I guess it should have extracted and opened the symlink's destination instead. I have to restart before I can post emerge info since it won't close or let me open xterm or system monitor
What version of gedit? and _always_ post your emerge info.
gedit version is 2.8.3 and my emerge info is Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20050125-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.6.10 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Mar 15 2005, 16:02:22)] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r6 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.14 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fforce-addr -falign-functions=4 -finline-limit=800" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fforce-addr -falign-functions=4 -finline-limit=800" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://adelie.polymtl.ca/ ftp://cs.ubishops.ca/pub/gentoo ftp://gentoo.risq.qc.ca/ ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/ ftp://cudlug.cudenver.edu/pub/mirrors/distributions/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ ftp://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ http://gentoo.ccccom.com ftp://gentoo.ccccom.com http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo ftp://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://gentoo.netnitco.net ftp://gentoo.netnitco.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo/source/ http://mirror.tucdemonic.org/gentoo/ http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/gentoo/ http://mirrors.acm.cs.rpi.edu/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ndlug.nd.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.agsn.ca/ http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://gentoo.llarian.net/ ftp://gentoo.llarian.net/pub/gentoo http://gentoo.binarycompass.org http://gentoo.mirrored.ca/ ftp://gentoo.mirrored.ca/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://gentoo.eliteitminds.com http://gentoo.cs.lewisu.edu/gentoo/ ftp://linux.cs.lewisu.edu/gentoo/ http://prometheus.cs.wmich.edu/gentoo http://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/public/gentoo/ http://mirror.usu.edu/mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.usu.edu/mirrors/gentoo/ http://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo ftp://planetmirror.com/pub/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo http://mirror.isp.net.au/pub/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.isp.net.au/pub/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apache2 apm avi bitmap-fonts bzlib cdr crypt cups curl curlwrappers divx4linux dvd emboss encode encoder esd fam font-server foomaticdb fortran gd gd-external gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal howl icc imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mozilla-firefox mozilla-thunderbird mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia oggvorbis opengl openssl oss pam pdf pdflib perl php png postgres python quicktime readline real sdl session spell ssl svga tcpd tidy tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts win32codecs xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
