can't run Thunar as user: segmentation fault

Carolina In My Mind · 2023-02-01 15:59:54

Nothing was happening when I entered my keyboard shortcut for Thunar, so I tried running it in a terminal. "Segmentation fault." No other information is displayed.

It just occurred to me to sudo it just to see what would happen, supposing the segmentation fault might or might not happen with root. No segmentation fault; it works normally. Of course I'm not going to keep sudoing, though.

I have to fix this if I want to keep using Devuan, because I consider Thunar one of my "core" applications and am not interested in switching to another file manager. If I'm unable to use Thunar here, I'll go to another distro.

Which version of Devuan is this?

Please post the output of

apt policy

You should probably also tell us which desktop environment (or window manager) you're using.

Right, no problem.

DE/WM: Xfce 4.

Devuan version: Chimaera. I'm not sure of a version number yet. Give me a command to enter. I thought lsb_release would tell me, but Devuan says "No LSB modules are available."

Why have you added Debian buster & bullseye repositories?

The active sources show your "version" just fine, no need to bother with lsb_release.

Before I figured out why I can't use xfce-notes in Devuan, I mistakenly thought the problem was we merely didn't have it, and was digging around in other repositories. I've long since turned them off.

No you haven't.

What was installed from them? This command should show us (install the aptitude package first):

aptitude search '?narrow(?installed, ?origin(Debian))'

Thunar works just fine in the chimaera Xfce live ISO image. The stable release usually only breaks because the user did something ill-advised, such as adding non-Devuan repositories.

Brah...

The majority of it is Debian. Moreover, it's ftp.

When I used ftp sources on Debian...back when I used Debian...the ftp gave me several issues and made me have a nervous-jerkdown and commit sideways...so I switched to the deb repo, and life was like a butterfly fluttering across a field of wildflowers on a cool Spring morning while songbirds resonated their tunes in my ear.

However, that was many years ago, and the Debiansters may have changed stuff n'such by now.

I'll gracefully bow out now.
