Nautilus crash with segfault at libgconf

[cubells]

Ubuntu oneiric.

The system is completely updated.

This is the message I've got every time I open a folder:

Oct 4 07:42:43 xaloc kernel: [ 950.508525] nautilus[3763]: segfault at 8 ip b44e5f99 sp bfe93850 error 4 in libgconf-2.so.4.1.5[b44cd000+2c000]

This is a serious bug because now ubuntu can not be used.

I've attached a file with strace log

[cubells (cubells)]

I've attached gdb log.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Could you please install the libgtk, libglib and nautilus dbgsym packages and get a new backtrace? the one you submitted is missing a few symbols , if you have any questions please don't hesitate in asking, thanks in advance!.

Hi, I'm affected by the same bug. Sorry for being a noob, but could you tell me what libs to install exactly and how to generate the gdb trace for nautilus so I can give you additional information ?

Thank you for your work !

I get this almost every time nautilus starts, hence it immediately crashes.

dmesg output:

I would suggest that this is a critical issue if users can't access their desktop/files without opening a terminal.

[cubells (cubells)]

I've installed the packages and I've attached a new bactrace log such as Pedro Villavicencio suggest me.

Do you need any information??

[cubells (cubells)]

I agree with Kevin.

This bug is critical: ubuntu is unusable.

[cubells (cubells)]

Yes, Pedro.

By purging the package nautilus-open-terminal, the issue got solved.

I can confirm it.

thanks a lot!

[Tom (tparle)]

Thank for the update Pedro !
I hope that nautilus-open-terminal will be easily fixed, I find this feature very useful.

[Dave Conniff (chronniff)]

thanks for the tip....too bad, I love that little script, it has always proved extremely convenient, I too hope it gets fixed

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[DAVID (gron-h)]

Same here .. removed nautilus-open-terminal and issue is solved.
