Looks like 'python-nautilus' could be blamed for that issue (1.1-4): latest update oct 2013, still depends on python2.7 (libpython2.7)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I've just noticed that my kern.log contains this error message 4864 times although I don't see any other visible problem - Ubuntu 16.10 (64-bit)

Which are the perceptible consequences of this bug?

When answered please set status back to "confirmed". Thank you.

Hello I also have this bug in ubuntu 16.04.
I have different SMB mount points mounted with autofs.
When this error appears, I can not see the content of this drives anymore and can not connect them anymore. Restarting autofs will also not help. I have to reboot to regain access to the SMB.

ihmo spamming the system log is a perceptible consequence.
Under Zesty, on every selection i get this message now. This is a regression.

Hi,

I've the same bug on my syslog "nautilus_menu_provider_get_background_items: assertion 'NAUTILUS_IS_MENU_PROVIDER (provider)' failed" followed by this error "Allocating size to GtkVScrollbar 0x55a3b35f4380 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate?".

Is there a fix ?

Thx
