Thunar Patch Testing

[flocculant]

Hi all, it's been a quiet cycle from testing point of view so far.

We've not forgotten about thunar - so to cut a long story short you can
try testing thunar with these patches.

sudo apt-get build-dep thunar
git clone git://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar
cd thunar
wget https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=6976 -O fix_crash.patch
wget https://github.com/jlindgren90/thunar/commit/9c6dbb1dae70.patch
git apply fix_crash.patch
git apply 9c6dbb1dae70.patch
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
thunar -q


You should now be running a git version of thunar - check thunar - help
- about

Use it, abuse it, see if it fixes the crashes we see when
copying/renaming files.

When you've finished testing it for us - reply to this please.

To uninstall the git version - enter the thunar folder you created above
and run

sudo make uninstall

Thanks all

Kev

Note: if you use root thunar via pkexec you will need to edit
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.xfce.thunar.policy to point to
/usr/local/bin/thunar

Thanks for your development efforts! I've just installed it in Linux Mint
Xfce 18.1: Thunar 1.6.10git-b4826a8.

For others who wish to test: you need to enable the source code repo's for
this.

I'll report my test results in a few days; I'm glad you're looking into
this, because I repeatedly had to resort to Double Commander for copying
files.

Regards, Pjotr.

OK, I've found this strange behaviour: the new Thunar from Git doesn't
mount my USB memory stick properly. Namely as read-only, so I can't copy
files to it.

Also, it doesn't show as mounted on the desktop. Neither on a USB 3.0 port
nor on a USB2.0 port. But is is mounted: in the side panel of Thunar I can
click on the little arrow to unmount it.

When I use the same USB memory stick on my desktop, which has exactly the
same operating system (Linux Mint 18.1 Xfce), but with the unchanged
default Thunar, then there's no problem.

Another bug in the new Thunar from Git: when I mount a partition by
clicking on it, there doesn't appear a little arrow for unmounting in the
side panel.

I'm not happy with Thunar 1.6.10git-b4826a8, so I'll remove it. Hopefully
my test reports have been useful.

Thanks Pjotr,

any test reports are helpful.

I'll be moving on to testing another patch later.
