Nautilus freezes and eventually crashes when trying to preview .vss file

[Matthew Tighe]

Binary package hint: xorg

Nautilus would freeze and then eventually crash (complaining about needing to restart bonaboo?). I narrowed the problem down to a Visio stencil file that was in the directory, removing it fixed the problem. I believe Nautilus was trying to "preview" it for some reason.

This is the latest and greatest RC under gutsy.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem. Also having the .vss file for testing would be nice, thanks.

Unfortunately I trashed it without thinking about it and it's gone. But I downloaded it again (it's a standard Cisco Visio Stencil file) and everything seems OK now. I think I'm having a bigger problem with Wobbly Windows under Gutsy and maybe this was related (it's just weird that it happened everytime on this directory and then stopped when I removed this file).

Closing for now then, feel free to reopen if you get the issue again and can get a debug backtrace
