OK, so I've spent a few hours trying to track down a possible cause of this bug as it also affects palimpsest (Disk Utility); when run both would exit with the device_recurse error. However, a Maverick install in a VirtualBox VM didn't have these issues, hence it must be hardware- dependent (I also tried Debian squeeze versions of g-d-u and libgdu).
I have a Dell Studio 17 (1749) into which I have connected an external USB keyboard and mouse - and with a sudden flash of inspiration I unplugged both and tried running palimpsest. Surprise - runs correctly. Even when I plugged both back in palimpsest ran correctly, as did gvfs- gdu-volume-monitor. I normally boot with both devices connected, hence the error will occur when the machine is started. Could it be that g-d-u is trying to find filesystems on USB peripherals? lspci is attached. ** Attachment added: "lspci.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/52120858/lspci.txt -- gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor assert failure: libgdu:ERROR:gdu-pool.c:1253:device_recurse: assertion failed: (depth < 100) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435136 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
