Nemo fills up .xsession_errors

[vlatkoB]

Hi,

on Ubuntu 12.04, 3.2.0-56-generic, x86_64, Cinnamon 2.0.6, Nemo 2.0.2,
every second/third day .xsession-errors file gets filled with

(nemo:3570): GLib-GObject-WARNING *: instance of invalid non-instantiatable type (null)'
(nemo:3570): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL *: g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched: assertionG_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
** (nemo:3570): CRITICAL *: nemo_directory_file_monitor_remove: assertion NEMO_IS_DIRECTORY (directory)' failed
* (nemo:3570): CRITICAL **: nemo_directory_unref: assertionNEMO_IS_DIRECTORY (directory)' failed

until log file consumes all the available space on $HOME.
After deleting logs and restart, all seems to work correctly for some time.
Haven't discovered what action is causing it.

Best regards,

vlatko

Do you use the tree sidebar view? I've noticed occasionally that view can bug out and spam errors.

[vlatkoB]

No, but both sidebar views display correctly. Places are almost always displayed.
However, this happens without Nemo actually being opened. (Just the desktop.) This box is mostly used as HTPC.

Upgraded to Nemo 2.0.5 yesterday, but it repeated today again.

Also have it on fedora 19, nemo-2.0.2-1.fc19.i686, cinnamon-2.0.6-1.fc19.i686 (in fedora, it fills up /var/log/messages). I'm not sure, but looks like it was triggered by autofs unmount. I. e. /net/somehost/somedir suddently disappeared.

NEMO_IS_DIRECTORY at least can be associated with the RabbitVCS extension (RabbitVCS itself seems, badly behaved when it comes to logging spurious errors at times).

[vlatkoB]

It is not happening anymore. Few days ago I upgraded kernel to 3.2.0-56, so maybe that was the culprit.

[vlatkoB]

Not happening more. Closing issue.

I just experienced this problem, the system started to complain about low disk space available then I noticed .xsession-errors filled the partition.

Just happened again today.

[z117]

Got it again after autofs umount.

I got this error after moving a file to an NTFS partition, but not before a dialog box popped up and told me permissions could not be set for the file. This is on MInt 16 Cinnamon RC.
