I can't reproduce this on command. I've only been able to get it to crash like this once and it was at random

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions 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.

No need to specify hardy to the title, the information will be wrong when hardy+1 open an create confusion and extra work, you can describe the version to the description rather

Just to add.. /var/crash is empty. I'm on Ubuntu Hardy with the latest updates.

I'm seeing the same problem, and also have an empty /var/crash directory. Running hardy 8.04.2 x86_64, all packages up to date. This sounds like the same bug reported here for Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472439 as a bug in libexempi (and apparently resolved). Use the .exv sample data in that ticket's initial entry to reproduce. That is:
 1) make a JPEG (I used Gimp to convert a PNG screenshot to JPEG)
 2) install exiv2
 3) use exiv2 to remove any metadata from the image from step 1
 4) save the Fedora bugzilla sample bad .exv with the same basename as the JPEG made in step 1
 5) use exiv2 to import the bugzilla sample metadata into the jpeg
 6) in Nautilus, right-click on the image icon and request its properties.

Or just try viewing the properties of the JPEG I'm attaching now (which uses the Fedora bugzilla sample metadata)... crashes Nautilus for me every time I request its properties (as do a number of my own pictures, taken with a Canon camera).

I found this by searching for "nautilus segmentation fault" just now.

I am on a little used i9stallation on my second HDD. I use this partition for backup primarily. I wanted to dump some files on an installation of Mandriva and tried to pull up nautilus and got this:
[code]
tom@backup:~$ sudo nautilus
Initializing nautilus-share extension
seahorse nautilus module initialized
Segmentation fault
tom@backup:~$
[/code]
I am running Hardy still on 2.6.24-19. This is a x86-64 box.

Just thought I'd through this in to make things more interesting.
