2009-02-17 20:37:53 Dara Adib None: statusexplanation Marking as confirmed and setting importance as high. This bug is reproducible on my system with latest Jaunty updates. I'm marking this as affecting the source package nautilus. After manually downgrading nautilus, nautilus-data, and libnautilus-extension to version 1:2.25.3-0ubuntu2 (available in the Jaunty archives from January 23 to February 2) and restarting X (logout and log back in), the problem disappeared. Therefore, this bug must have originated from version 1:2.25.4-0ubuntu1, diff: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21900685/nautilus_1%3A2.25.3-0ubuntu2_1%3A2.25.4-0ubuntu1.diff.gz nautilus (1:2.25.4-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low * New upstream version: - Don't show desktop files from other desktops than Gnome on the desktop - Support crossfades of desktop backgrounds - Don't snap desktop icons outside right margin - Fix crashes and leaks (lp: #321359)
2009-02-17 20:37:53 Dara Adib None: title Bug #325973 in Ubuntu: ""Starting File Manager" Windows open uncontrollably" Bug #325973 in nautilus (Ubuntu): ""Starting File Manager" Windows open uncontrollably"
2009-02-17 20:51:52 Dara Adib description When "Show Desktop" is disabled from gconf-editor, windows saying "Starting File Manager" replicate until the computer fails to respond. Using the path in gconf-editor: apps->nautilus->preferences, disabling show desktop for an effect crashes my computer. I turned off show desktop to show a different wallpaper on every workspace, and windows keep appearing. This process does not show up under the Systems Monitor. I think is it worthwhile to note that when I open my flashdrive, this problem does not happen. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha release 3. There is no "report a Problem" window due to the unresponsive nature of my system. I installed ccsm through the add/remove programs feature, and aside from updates, I have only installed ubuntu restricted extras, ccsm, wine, and my theme (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210) Included with the report I have attached my settings for compizfuzion. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2iqk3ds&s=5 is a screenshot of my desktop with the windows. Please feel free to email me with for any additional clarification at jjthemagicman@gmail.com When "show_desktop" is disabled from gconf-editor (apps -> nautilus -> preferences, uncheck "show_desktop"), windows saying "Starting File Manager" replicate until the computer fails to respond. In the System Monitor, the nautilus process keeps opening and closing (presumably crashes and restarts). I think is it worthwhile to note that when I open my flashdrive, this problem does not happen. This problem occurs with the latest Jaunty updates, specifically nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.91-0ubuntu1, and originated with nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.4-0ubuntu1. This problem does not occur with nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.3-0ubuntu2.
