Created attachment 7267 backtrace While trying to use less on a large binary partition, xfce-terminal crashed on SIGABRT. Attaching the backtrace. The problem is well reproducible.
Hi Stanislav, Can you give an example of binary file that's causing crash? Does gnome-terminal also crash? If it does, that could indicate a problem in the underlying vte library.
The stack trace suggests it's probably related to pulseaudio. There are a couple of similar crash reports, mostly in Red Hat's bugzilla as far as I remember. Somehow it crashes if it tries to ring the bell too frequently.
Egmont, thanks! Stanislav, can you give an example of a file?
Egmont Koblinger: It makes sense. The crashing command was "less -f /dev/sdc6", and the crash was triggered by a fact scrolling adn changing direction. /dev/sdc6 was a FAT partition from the NOOBS system on Raspberry Pi. Igor: The crashing partition had ~1 gigabyte, and I don't have it any more. Now I am not ableto replicate it. On another file, I see only many warnings: (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'TerminalWidget': input clusters do not represent the accompanying text and glyph arrays (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'TerminalScreen': input clusters do not represent the accompanying text and glyph arrays (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkNotebook': input clusters do not represent the accompanying text and glyph arrays (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkBox': input clusters do not represent the accompanying text and glyph arrays (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'TerminalWindow': input clusters do not represent the accompanying text and glyph arrays (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'TerminalWidget': input clusters do not represent the accompanying text and glyph arrays (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'TerminalScreen': input clusters do not represent the accompanying text and glyph arrays (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkNotebook': input clusters do not represent the accompanying text and glyph arrays (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkBox': input clusters do not represent the accompanying text and glyph arrays (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'TerminalWindow': input clusters do not represent the accompanying text and glyph arrays (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'TerminalWindow': input string not valid UTF-8 (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'TerminalWidget': input string not valid UTF-8 (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'TerminalScreen': input string not valid UTF-8 (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkNotebook': input string not valid UTF-8 (xfce4-terminal:24149): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkBox': input string not valid UTF-8
