nautilus SIGABRT in nautilus_window_slot_open_location_full(): (target_window == window)

[Chris Kirkwood-Watts]

Reporting as new, since I don't see one for Oneiric. All I did was double click an icon on the desktop. Icon was a symlink to a directory under $HOME. Expected the directory to be presented in a window. Got ABRT instead.

It happens when middle clicking on a desktop icon

[Jimmy Merrild Krag (beruic)]

Also when opening multiple folders at once.

After middle click (or the equivalent left-right click) on a desktop folder, all icons disappers.
I managed to get back the icons by clicking on the trash-icon on unity launch-bar.

So it means that the fix will surely land in Precise.
What about Oneiric?

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos (fitojb)]

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I've uploaded a stable update candidate for oneiric which needs to be reviewed

[Damir Butmir (d4m1r2)]

Thanks Sebastien. Is there somewhere we can follow the status of your submission or can you post back an update for us when you hear back?

Thanks.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the bug will be updated when the update is published for testing, it will happen in the next days

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Hello Chris, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nautilus into oneiric-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Damir Butmir (d4m1r2)]

Thanks Martin & Sebastien, I can confirm it is fixed in 11.10 32 bit Ubuntu :)

FYI, either the "updated" version stated here or within aptitude is wrong because the package version of nautilus is still marked as 3.2.1 which I was already running and NOT 3.3.5.

For anyone else who wants to update:

1) Enable proposed update in software sources
2) sudo apt-get aptitude (not installed by default)
3) sudo aptitude (hit "u" within aptitude or do sudo apt-get update otherwise)
4) sudo aptitude install nautilus/oneiric-proposed
5) restart PC

[Ivnitskii Andrei (ivnitsky-a)]

Updated in the x64. Bug fixes, cheers! :-)

[Ivnitskii Andrei (ivnitsky-a)]

>5) restart PC

Restart PC is not required, it is enough "killall nautilus" and restart nautilus

[Marcel Stimberg (marcelstimberg)]

@Damir: The version 3.3.5 is the version in Ubuntu 12.04 -- the Ubuntu 11.10 version in the oneiric-proposed repository is 3.2.1-0ubuntu4.1 (the former version was 3.2.1-0ubuntu3.2)

[Damir Butmir (d4m1r2)]

@Marcel, ah ok, that makes sense now.

Thanks for clearing that up!
