nautilus crashed with SIGABRT in call_in_idle_cb(): (vtable != NULL && vtable->method_call != NULL)

This is directly after I booted in Ubuntu 11.10. I opened nautilus then closed it directly then it crashed. Didn't restart.

Thank you for your bug report, did you get the issue since or was that a one time thing?

[Bayan Rafeh (bayan-rafeh92)]

It doesn't really happen quite often but it happened on more than one occasion.

[Christopher Kyle Horton (christhehorton)]

Bug #935815 was marked a duplicate of this, so it still happens on Precise.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package glib2.0 - 2.31.22-0ubuntu1

---------------
glib2.0 (2.31.22-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - should fix gstreamer locking issues (lp: #941229)
  * debian/patches/bugzilla_gdbus_use_reliable_cancellation.patch,
    debian/patches/bugzilla_reliable_cancellable.patch:
    - dropped, the fixes are in the new version
  * debian/patches/90_revert_git_stricter_types.patch:
    - dropped, it shouldn't be needed, the issue got resolved
  * debian/patches/git_gdbus_avoid_assert_bug.patch:
    - should fix a gdbus assert hit sometimes by nautilus (lp: #898231),
      gsd (lp: #898994), or bamf (lp: #926208), thanks Marco Trevisan
