Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I connect to server just fine using sftp and it was working fine for everything for a week but suddenly it now crashes or shuts down nautilus when I try to browse the /home folder on the remote server. I can browse all system files and folders and even edit them but as soon as I either right click the /home folder or try to open it, it then shuts down nautilus.

I am connecting to a OpenSuse 11.1 server with my Ubuntu 9.04 and nautilus 2.26.2

I would love to know if there is a log file I could look at maybe to diagnose this but I am at a final loss here.

Sebastien,

I have tried to create a backtrace report but the documentation is not up to date or something.  I had to google it to find the right repository that had the gdm-dbgsym package. However I still try to run nautilus under gdm and I get (no debug symbols found). I have tried every option now for 2 hours. I will try again after I let my mind relax and maybe I can rethink it, but at this point I am just totally frustrated.

Forgive me if I am not that familiar yet with linux but the package yelp-dbgsym=2.22.1-0ubuntu2.8.04.1 could not be located within any of the four repository's from the document.  However I googled and found a newer release (yelp-dbgsym.2.25.1-0ubuntu5) at deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs jaunty main universe.

However I am still getting "no debug symbols found" when trying to use:

gdb nautilus 2>&1 | tee gdb-nautilus.txt
(gdb) handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint
(gdb) set pagination 0
(gdb) run

This is where I am still at a loss. All I can assume if the package and repositories are out of date then the document must be out of date for ubuntu 9.04. I could be wrong in my assumptions.

the wiki page is an example, you need to replace the name and the version by what your are using, ie nautilus there and 1:2.26.2-0ubuntu2 as version

Thanks for explaining that however I am getting a new error at the last step of creating a backtrace report (gdb) "run nautilus" I get the following error: Cannot find /home/jesse/nautilus ... please check your spelling.

I ran it again followed by the "/" and it gave me the same error but opened a nautilus window to the root folder. Thus I then navigated to my bookmark to my server "blade1" then navigated to the home folder on the remote (opensuse) server. Nautilus immediatly shut down, creating the problem still. I attached hopefully the error file.

Sebastien,

I am still trying with different results. I think I am almost getting this backtrace. I am doing it but now nautilus is not crashing but instead just immediately closes the sftp connection to my remote suse server when I click its home folder. There is nothing in the attached file but I am attaching it again in order to let you see if there is something you can tell me to do different.

there is no crash there, maybe you could try using apport which would give a bug with all the required details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport and "How to enable apport"

The newly created bug has a meaningless trace because there were some outdated packages on your system as the Apport retracing service mentions. I am closing this bug because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem. Please reopen it if you can provide those information. Thanks.
