Bug-buddy keeps reporting a crash and nautilus does not work

[David Planella]

After today's updates my system has become unusable.

When I start my session, bug buddy appears telling me that the CD/DVD Creator application crashed and that I should send a bug report telling what I was doing during the crash.

To my knowledge, no application visibly crashed, but I fill in the report and send it.

After sending the report, I get the following message:

"Bug Buddy has encountered an error while submitting your report to the Bugzilla server. Details of the error are included below.

The component specified doesn't exist or has been renamed. Please upgrade to the latest version."

After pressing the close button, bug-buddy comes back with a vengeance with exactly the same message. No matter what I click or do (Cancel, send, xkill it...), it always comes back.

I wouldn't mind it coming back, but it seems that it does not let the desktop to finish loading. The background image does not get loaded and my previously transparent panel is opaque. Furthermore:

* Nautilus does not work (I cannot open any browser windows).

* The logout dialog does not work (after pressing logout or shut down, nothing happens, the logout dialog simply disappears).

On a side issue, but maybe related to this, I also get a crash notification in the form of a little bomb icon at the notification area. When I click it to see what's crashed, it says that metacity crashed unexpectedly.

I'm using

nautilus 2.16.0-0ubuntu3
nautilus-cd-burner 2.16.0-0ubuntu2
bug-buddy 2.16.0-0ubuntu1

I don't know if this will actually help, since I've got no debugging symbols installed, but that's the crash report information which bug buddy seems to collect.

On the description I forgot to mention that nautilus does not work anymore either (I cannot open any browser windows)

After the latest kernel updates this morning (linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic, 2.6.17-10-25):

a) Bug-buddy does not longer show up during the gnome session startup

b) The desktop is still not being properly loaded. As reported before, there is no background image being loaded, and no context menu when right-clicking on the desktop).

c) When starting a nautilus browser from a launcher, bug buddy comes up, reporting a crash in the CD/DVD Creator application as before. After filling in the description of the crash, I press the send button and I get the following message (same as before):

"Bug Buddy has encountered an error while submitting your report to the Bugzilla server. Details of the error are included below.

The component specified doesn't exist or has been renamed. Please upgrade to the latest version."

This time, at least, pressing the Close button really closes bug-buddy.

d) when starting nautilus from the terminal, I get the following output:

dpm@microstar:~$ nautilus
