Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A signal 7 is (usually) a SIGBUS error, and denotes a hardware-driven error (memory address alignment, access tried to non- existent memory, and others).
It is very difficult that this has been caused by 'ls' itself. Also, please do not mix different issues in one single bug report: we expect one bug per report, and one report per bug (otherwise we can lose track of what is what). Your final comment shows a filesystem full issue, and has nothing to do with a SIGBUS. ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- ls crashed with signal 7 in __libc_start_main() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308171 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
