nautilus segfault, error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so

[Harima Shinji]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Using Karmic Koala Alpha-4, upgraded from jaunty
Package Version: 2.27.4

As soon as i login nautilus will segfault and flood my window list with "starting file-manager" buttons. No window is displayed and clicking the buttons do nothing. nautilus also ones in a while segfaults in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1707.0. Nothing is displayed on the desktop except for the wallpaper, Alt-F2 does not function either.

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 running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

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.

I have some similar problem, but when I try to scan services with me-tv:

 me-tv[2984]: segfault at 9035000 ip 00c23071 sp bfe1791c error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so

I know this should be posted somewhere else, I think the libc-2.10.1.so has also something to do with this case, though!

thanks
