Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Just when I upgraded from alpha2 to alpha3, nautilus stopped working at boot. Instead of showing me the desktop icons, it opens up the home directory window, then it closes it immediately. This is repeated exactly ten times, then it stops. Gnome panels and everything else work normally.
While running from command line, I get this error message:

valgring output of nautilus crash Edit (15.0 KiB, application/x-tar)

I have the same problem this bug report describes.

When I try starting nautilus, it displays then seems to crash, then reappears, then recrash, and so until I guess the maximum try count is reached.

When starting in the command line, here's what I see :
baptiste@pumte:~$ nautilus

** (nautilus:7605): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported
Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

I'm attaching a valgrind output as described on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind.
Note that I've got the impression that valgrind stopped tracking output after first automatic crash/restart of nautilus.

Let me know if you need additional information.

In case of doubt, please note I'm reporting this bug using hardy. I updated my sources.list manually one week ago and started using it.

Hope it helps improving this release.
Cheers.

When I got today's package update (25/1/2008), something changed:
when I click any item in the Places menu, the nautilus window opens flawlessly.

It still crashes ten times either at boot and when I run it from the command line.

Is your default icon size over 150%?

In the meantime, I found what was wrong and had not reported it here yet.
It seems it was something related to the icon size (but 150%, I can't be sure since I'm not on my box at the moment) being to big.

Between two successive crashes, I did Ctrl-Minus to reduce the icon size and then it stopped crashing.

Thanks for your report, Is this still an issue with nautilus 2.21.90?

Just upgraded to version 2.21.90: the bug is still here.
Also, the Ctrl-minus trick doesn't work for me.

crash.log Edit (9.1 KiB, text/plain)

same issue here with zoom set to 100%
running from command line with --no-desktop still gives the following warning:

I had the same issue.

The problem was that I had a *.desktop starter-file owned and only accessable by root.
After changing the permissions so the user could read it, nautilus started without crash.

But this is just a workaround!

Could you use apport to send a new bug so it gets automatically retraced to a debug version?

For the record, I experienced this exact symptom. It appears to be a permissions issue since there was a *.desktop file owned by root in ~/Desktop. Removing this file fixed the bug.
