When I try to start baobab (the GNOME disk usage analyzer, which is part of the gnome-utils package) I get no errors, but the program doesn't start. I sometimes see for a moment a window, but it shortly disappears. I've built gnome-utils with the hal USE flag only, and I'm using a ~amd64 system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gnome-utils 2. baobab 3.

could you try to provide a backtrace [1] of the problem ? [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
I've never done backtraces, but following the Italian version of the guide I think I've got something useful. The debug is full of (no debugging symbols found), with the exception of: - [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] - [New Thread 0x7fa5584f1780 (LWP 13823)] - Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 0x7fa5584f1780 (LWP 13823)] 0x00007fa553611beb in g_utf8_validate () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 I think the last is the problem, but I have no idea what it's related to
this is a far from complete backtrace. You need to rebuild more packages with debugging symbols.
Waiting for a good backtrace. Also, could you try to start it with another locale ?
(In reply to comment #4) > Waiting for a good backtrace. Also, could you try to start it with another > locale ? I had the same problem. solution is simple, use the gconf-editor to reset the apps/baobab/properties/skip_scan_uri_list. The problem occurs if you want to scan some disk but not the root mounted partition. This set this property to file:/// which causes the crash (at the moment you start scanning or on next startup). Very easy to reproduce by just setting the property....
ok, reproduced and bug-buddy gave me a nice trace so I reported that upstream. Thanks for the instructions to help reproduce this issue.
closing fixed since this is most likely in 2.26 that is now stable. Thanks for reporting.
