Nautilus crashes or spawns 100 of file manager windows after startup

[gronbaek]

A few moments after login to Gnome is complete Nautilus will crash (all desktop icons disappear) AND/OR new file manager windows will keep re-spawning in the windows bar without actually opening.

The message log contains the following lines:

is there anything on /var/crash/ please enable apport and check that, could you also do an apport-collect 660342 ? thanks.

[gronbaek (gronbaek)]

Added reference to libglib2.0-0 package to get apport to collect data

[gronbaek (gronbaek)]

OK... could not add libglib2.0-0. Apport says there is nothing to report for glib2.0 since it is not installed and /var/crash is empty (it doesn't exist).

[gronbaek (gronbaek)]

Bump...

This problem seems to be related to the Ubuntu One client. After removing the client due to another problem, this error no longer happens.

[[mrs_sheep] (mrs-sheep)]

I have the same problem with ubuntu 10.10 with 2.6.35-22.
I am as well using Ubuntu One, but it's no option for me removing it.

[Mark Fraser (launchpad-mfraz)]

I'm seeing this too, removing ubuntuone-client allows me to use Nautilus again.

[Ancho (ancho-corp)]

Any solution besides removing ubuntuone-client?
