nautilus dies upon opening an empty location

[Remy Damour]

Hi,

I've the same bug that's described here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/213534) except that once nautilus crashes, it does not restart.

I created a new bug ticket because the one I am refering to is closed while my issue occurs on jaunty version.

Once nautilus is crashed down, mouse clicks on desktop does not bring any menu and I cannot navigate through my folders (though save_as from an opened application still works).

Regards,
Remy

Could you post your Nautilus version and 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.

Hi,

attached is the backtrace and below is my nautilus version:
apt-cache policy nautilus
nautilus:
  Installed: 1:2.26.2-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1:2.26.2-0ubuntu2

I hope the backtrace will be useful, I had a hard time getting it. When gdb was running, nautilus froze (location popup box froze) without clearly dying as usual and hitting ctr+c in gdb killed gdb => I called backtrace while nautilus was frozen.
Anyway once dgb-stuff was over, nautilus was dead as usual.

Do not hesitate to ask if you need more info.
Regards,
Remy

If this crash is happening after you pressed Ctrl+L and the "Open Location" dialog opens which the backtrace seem to indicate, then it should be fixed by the commit here: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/nautilus/commit/?id=2a005bc2c308e3960e723ed5cc8748f168acda17
Which is LP bug #378254. Not sure that has made it downstream to Ubuntu yet.

Given the commit from the previous comment, this should be fixed in Ubuntu 9.10 and I can not reproduce it with that. Can you check if that's still an issue for you with the latest version? Thanks.
