I instrumented thumbnailer to print some text when it is created and called. Then I copied images to the Pictures directory and clicked around. It turns out that ThumbnailGenerator::requestImage is never called. The generated thumbnails do not appear in ~/.cache/thumbnails either (which they should, unless gallery-app is requesting large enough images).
I wrote a thread torture test for thumbnailer and ran it under helgrind for 15 minutes or so and it produced no thread errors. Even more strangely I can't reproduce this any more. Tapping on an image while others are loading works just fine. All of this, combined with bug #1375238, makes me suspect that there is a threading bug/buffer overrun somewhere else in the stack and it just happens to manifest itself as this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to thumbnailer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368492 Title: crash opening image file Status in “thumbnailer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: krillin image 25 libthumbailer version 1.2+14.10.20140814-0ubuntu1 - take a picture with the camera - open the gallery app - click on the thumbnail of the photo just taken - boom, crash happens Here is the stack trace.
