Sync client crashes when creating a file in sync dir by saving from word #438
Comments
I didn't even mention the windows version I used... Sorry. It was on a Windows XP machine. Perhaps that is important. I will test it as soon as I can. |
I just tried the build mentioned in #370. It didn't help. When I try to save a file in the owncloud sync dir, it crashes. The error report doesn't seem to include much useful information. Just a memory dump, no stacktrace or anything. As I said, I use Windows XP, which might be relevant. |
I tried to reproduce it on a Windows 8 laptop I have here, but it works normally. So, I guess it's a Windows XP thing. |
Oh, actually the client just crashed on Windows 8 as well. |
Can you try http://download.owncloud.com/download/nightly/owncloud-1.2.2-nightly20130321-setup.exe and see if it still crashes? |
Doesn't fix it; still crashes. |
@halfgaar thanks for checking. Can you run owncloud with |
There wasn't an obvious part, so I just took everything from 'client is latest version':
|
@halfgaar but that's not from the nightly build, is it? |
I edited the quicklaunch icon with the command line param, and when I start it, it says "owncloud 1.2.2-nightly20130321". So I guess it is. |
yes, it handles the office doc problem correctly, see it sets it to IGNORE. Is that really the last output before crash? strange.... |
Yep, that's all she wrote. The only thing I cut out was everything before the first line I pasted. |
BTW, owncloud.exe just crashed without me doing anything with word or whatever. I just started the computer, configured a second sync (which synced successfully) and then after a minute or so, it crashed. This was the nightly build of march 21. It might be unrelated, but something is amiss anyway. |
@halfgaar could you try to start it in a gdb and get us some more detailed crash info? |
If gdb on WIndows works the same as Linux, I think I can manage that. I've never used it in windows though. |
Yes, it does. Its just a port of the same software. |
I don't know why I never thought of making these right away... With release 1.2.1 I got two crashes. I got this one several times, so I think it's the most relevant:
But I also got this one:
Then with the nightly build of march 21, I got this:
What's weird about the last one, is that the file I saved is not mentioned, but files that I didn't do anything with, are. The _csync_detect_update mentions/is called with a file that didn't change. |
I've been getting other kinds of crashes on another machine now. It's just hanging in 'undefined error (finished x seconds ago)' (which means the error's datestamp was x seconds ago, it didn't actually finish x seconds ago) and then after a few minutes of that, while doing nothing, it crashes. I don't have the ability to make a stack trace of that, at the moment. How hard is it to set up a developer environment on a Windows XP machine? I tried looking at the files shown in the stack trace, but they didn't exists, perhaps because of the use of Jenkins. But if it's somewhat easy to do, would it be helpful to setup Teamviewer, so that you can debug on my PC? |
I just tried sync client 1.2.3 on Windows XP. It still crashes when saving a Word document into the cloud dir. |
Can you please try with http://download.owncloud.org/download/nightly/owncloud-1.2.3-nightly20130404-setup.exe? We found and fixed a problem today that can result in this behaviour. |
Hello. I had same probleme and owncloud-1.2.3-nightly20130404-setup.exe fix the crash. |
owncloud-1.2.3-nightly20130404-setup.exe works for me too, the crash no longer happens. Can you point to an issue/commit which describes what the problem was? Is it known when 1.2.4 with this fix will be released? Or is this nightly build stable enough to use, perhaps? One more thing; one of our users also has the problem that the client waits with syncing for about 500 seconds, then starts, but crashes. Is it possible that is fixed with this too? I will create a back trace of it as soon as I can, so we know for sure, but any insight is welcome. |
ok, thanks for the feedback. We will release 1.2.4 very soon, as this is a severe bug that is fixed now, but we would like to get more input on #498 which is not understood so far. |
@halfgaar Can you test with 1.3.0? Should be a lot better (word files should no longer disappear, anyway. I could never reproduce the crash) |
Well, we decided to stop the Owncloud deployment and use, so I'm afraid I won't be able to test more. |
When I configure a sync, and then open word, type something, and save it in the directory of that sync, it crashes.
When I start the sync client again while word is active, it crashes again.
Steps to reproduce
Perhaps this is caused by word lock files (~$ bla).
Doesn't always happen, so you may need to try more often.
Perhaps related: our users are reporting that files (so far only word files) are disappearing from their sync dirs or server-side archive: sometimes they need to recover from the WebGUI, and sometimes the WebGUI doesn't have files that are on disk. I haven't been able to produce it. My first attempt to do so resulted in the reported crash.
