Thanks for your bug. According to the backtrace the crash is due to /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/libnautilus-gst-shares.so from gnome-system-tools. Do you use GNOME or do you try to run nautilus out of GNOME?

i use GNOME (ubuntu edgy development version)
my edgy was upgraded from dapper by "apt-get dist-upgrade"

need other info ?

same problem here, it happened after dist upgrade today. i think crash doesn't happen for newly created "desktop user", but it happens for users with administrator rights. this is not 100% sure, have to investigate it.

Running latest edgy (Mon, 2 Oct 2006 16:19:05 +0930), I see this also.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352483 <- similar, on gentoo
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352418 <- edgy crash

Attached is the output of gnome's bug-buddy.

I removed libnautilus-gst-shares.so, and nautilus starts (and runs) normally.

i confirm, deleting libnautilus-gst-shares.so helps. thanks Joel, you saved my day :-)

I've added a partial stacktrace created with bug-buddy and nautilus-dbg, libgnomeui-0-dbg and libglib2.0-0-dbg installed to the bug report upstream.

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=73850&action=view

Joel, why are you removing libnautilus-gst-shares.so as a workaround? Does that not remove some nautilus functionality?

David Planella (dpm) wrote :

Removing libnautilus-gst-shares.so and restarting works, but not 100%. Now I get the following situation:

1.- When I start the gnome session, it does not load properly: there is no desktop background and the panels are also not properly loaded (they are not transparent anymore)

2.- When I start nautilus from a launcher, the desktop background comes back and the panel turns transparent as before.

Please ignore my previous comment.

What I described got solved by a second restart.

In fact there is probably an another issue. Can people having the issue attach their /etc/samba/smb.conf (look for private data and replace them maybe before attachin gi) to the bug?

still waiting for the new liboobs to hit the repos, so can't confirm that fixed anything.

Attached is my smb.conf. Nothing too private in there. The shares, iirc, were manually added to the file.

Bernat, I removed the .so so my desktop would be usable again for the day - it wasn't a fix, just a work around so I could be productive without resorting a boot into dapper :)

BTW, they just mentioned they've fixed it there (if it is the same issue).
