Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590060

This is still affecting me.

Any chance I could get some information how to reproduce it? Did you do something special?

No, nothing special. Just upgraded to karmic koala.

It fall after some time after login. i can give you ssh access to my notebook (no any sensible data, root-access), where this happen.

related bug #462146 (new because new version). Seems we will get this with final release?

This is still affecting me.
just upgraded to karmic koala final release.

Still reproduced in karmic koala and affects evolution.

Yes, I have this same issue... using the final release of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid (desktop 32-bit).

Seems to affect current maverick alpha [32-bit], too; I had this problem since my upgrade to karmic, but only on my intel atom computer.
The only other program that crashes (and keeps crashing since karmic) is "apt-get dist-upgrade" after installing/upgrading the last package. apt-get always crashes *after* writing out the database, removing all locks and doesn, so this really isn't a problem. But since both programs seem to have started segfaulting at roughly the same time - I thought perhaps it might be worth mentioning.

References for crash of apt-get:
 - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1413354

The apt-get crash seems to be fixed now for me, whilst gvfsd-metadata still keeps crashing. I take this as a strong hint that the two crashes aren't related to each other. But then this was already highly probable at the beginning.

On current Maverick the crashes of gvfsd-metadata seem to have stopped for me.
Can anybody else confirm this?

I have encountered the same problem and deleting all the files from the directory ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/ seems solved the problem for me.

yes, is solve deleting this files, thanks and good linux-Ubuntu trip!!

With me whenever I was creating a folder named "data", an emblem of "note" was being created onto it, and Nautilus was crashing when opening this folder. rm -rf ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/ as Vlad pointed out solved it for me.
