[Hardy] Nautilus segfaults, cannot be upgraded

workaround is to remove nautilus-share, it needs some work for the new ABI.

one bug task is enough and that's not a libeel issue

Did you upgrade nautilus or not? The bug report is not clear. Could you get a crash stacktrace?

I cannot upgrade nautilus because when i use "sudo apt-get upgrade" it says that all the packages are kept back and does nothing. When I use "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" I get the output as shown above. I just aborted because it tries to remove nautilus as well as ubuntu-desktop, among other nautilus packages. In other words, the status of my packages are as shown above in the apt-cache policy output.

The said workaround does not work.

Stack trace:

#0 0xb71d7b03 in strchr () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#1 0xb6036abd in ?? ()
   from /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/libnautilus-open-terminal.so
#2 0x00000000 in ?? ()

I'll add a confirm on this , I first removed python-nautilus which was blocking libeel2 then upgraded , nautilus segfaults

ron@ron-desktop:~$ nautilus

** (nautilus:8434): CRITICAL **: nautilus_file_new_from_filename: assertion `filename[0] != '\0'' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
ron@ron-desktop:~$

removed nautilus-share same result

Okay I removed nautilus-open-terminal and tried again. This time yields more interesting results. Nautilus doesn't segfault. However, it keeps opening (shows the desktop and my home directory for a brief moment), and crashing, and repeating the process until I send SIGKILL to it.

This is what gdb says when nautilus crashes:
/usr/bin/nautilus: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/libgnome-mount.so: undefined symbol: nautilus_file_info_get_drive

I have reason to believe that Nautilus forks before encountering the symbol lookup error. "pidof nautilus" reports a changing PID, and if the timing is right, 2 PIDs.

Ah python-nautilus was the problem! I just removed it, and with python-nautilus, timevault. Then dist-upgraded the packages. Now it doesn't segfault.

Then I've installed nautilus-open-terminal, and found that it's broken. Damn. No menu item for opening a terminal.

dist-upgraded again no help here it still segfaults with the same error . NOTE! I am amd64 here .

could people having issue list the nautilus packages and versions they are using and get a crach stacktrace to copy to the bug?

The stacktrace is not one

where do I find the right one ?

Run "gdb nautilus" in a terminal. You will get a gdb prompt. Type "run". Then press enter every time it prompts you whether to continue or not. Eventually it will crash. Then you will have a prompt again. Type "bt". The output is your stack trace.

instuctions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.
If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using "/usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash" in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

I cant launch nautilus, it segfaults . If I launch thunar and double click on the crash report it does not send it , instead it opens the report in text editor. besides the crash report is from before updating , after update no crash report is generated because it never gets that far it segfaults trying to load.

Just running "apport-cli" in a terminal without any arguments should offer to send the pending crash reports. Or you can issue "apport-cli -c /path/to/crash/file" to send a particular one.

Adding a "me too":

Nautilus keeps opening (home directory flashes for a split second), and crashing. Starting from the terminal I get:
barbex@barbex-laptop:~$ nautilus
Initializing gnome-mount extension
nautilus: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/libgnome-mount.so: undefined symbol: nautilus_file_info_get_drive

I CAN open the subdirectories /Documents, /Videos ,/Pictures ,/Music that have a link in the sidebar.

I don't have many extensions:
barbex@barbex-laptop:~$ dpkg -l | grep nautilus

I don't know if it helps but I attached the output from gdb after following the instruction from hyperair (2008-01-24).

Still no network: "Nautilus kann nicht mit network:/// umgehen" (Nautilus cannot deal with network:///) Should that be a new bug?

dpkg -l | grep nautilus

Yes I think it should be. I also experience this bug.
