eog crash GRIP-CRITICAL

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

this problems gone with the release.

Sad to say that it is still present on my laptop system, 64 bit, upgraded from 11:04 to 11:10 beta and now release.

I would add that this may well be just a glitch with my individual machine. I will check when I upgrade other machines and report back if the problem shows elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Confirming here that this bug is still present as of today. Curiously, logging in as a different user on the same system makes it possible to start eog. Unfortunately, that isnt quite an acceptable workaround.

Running eog under strace gives the following output:

...
fstat(20, {st_mode=0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
fcntl(20, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
write(2, "\n(eog:11840): GRIP-CRITICAL **: "..., 104
(eog:11840): GRIP-CRITICAL **: register_internal: assertion `GRIP_IS_GESTURE_MANAGER (manager)' failed
) = 104
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

( I can attach the full trace if desired)

It seems that some races were fixed in this release related to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/libgrip/+bug/827958

But it seems that those fixes werent quite enough.

[Expired for eog (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

I believe that this bug occurs when the setting "image-gallery-resizable" is "true". There is no visible setting for this in the gui, but it can be set via gsettings and causes the same error message above:

me@mypc:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.eog.ui "image-gallery-resizable" true
me@mypc:~$ eog

(eog:16324): GRIP-CRITICAL **: register_internal: assertion `GRIP_IS_GESTURE_MANAGER (manager)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This problem is still present in Ubuntu 12.04. It was not present in the previous LTS release, so it manifests itself when an upgrade occurs (but perhaps only for a small set of users who have fiddled with this setting.)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I haven't set this manually though I still have this bug and I have to use another app to preview images...

Sergiu, can you look at what user settings are present, with:

          dconf dump /org/gnome/eog/

I can confirm that setting the key image-gallery-resizable to false stops the problem on my system. So that seems to be the track to follow.

Hello Renegade22, or anyone else affected,

Accepted libgrip into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Ok. Updated to the version in Precise-Proposed. Reactivated image-gallery-resizable.
The bug as reported does not now occur; eog starts and works as expected.
No more elaborate testing done as it is 2am here, but appears to work for me.
Thanks!
