Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Happens when I reboot or reinstall nautilus. When I try to launch Nautilus from the command line, I get

seahorse nautilus module initialized
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I think it may be Samba related, so have just removed Samba to test this.

To confirm, I have reinstalled nautilus which made no difference.

I have also rebooted three times, which have made no difference

Finally, my hardy install is fully up to date.

After a reboot and log into GNOME, I do see some desktop icons fleetingly until Nautilus crashes (I assume)

Following the removal of Samba and SWAT, I attempted a reinstall of nautilus. This had no effect when I rebooted the system.

I was poking around SWAT at the time that Nautlius crashed although I had not made any commits.

I too had Nautilus segfaulting.

Running gdb on Nautilus with liboobs debug symbols loaded, I got:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

After removing the bogus samba share in smb.conf (by hand, as the Shared Folders app would crash too), Nautilus started working again.
