Nautilus: G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value) failed

[John Doe]

Binary package hint: nautilus

The .xsession-errors is filled massively with the following error-message:

(nautilus:1369): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

I doesn't crashes, but the .xsession-errors has over 500kb because of this, after a short time.

I have the same problem on 64-bit version.

I have attached xsession-errors with the errors in the last 10 min

[aljazek (aljazek)]

I have also the same problem. Maybe is this the reason my dash is empty until I cross the icons with cursor:

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

The same error messages are displayed by eog, see bug #754622. If both bugs are related, bug #754622 is probably easier to debug because it includes a reproducible testcase.

[tekstr1der (tekstr1der)]

What other info can we provide to get this fixed?

.xsession-errors is chock full of these messages.

[Matt (macmanes)]

I am having similar errors, but only after I switched from "regular view" to "classic view" in Natty 11.04. I did this to try to work around a bug in VNC, detailed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/772873

While in classic view, the xsession-error file grew to 45GB in 48 hours. Now that I am back to the regular view, these errors are largely gone.

GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

45Gb error log in just a few hour using Remmina and Nautilus.
Had to delete .xsession-errors manually from the home folder.

Attaching "bt" and "thread apply all bt full" output of GDB after doing "export G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings". Hope that helps.

I am still seeing this bug in oneiric with this package version:

Package: nautilus
Version: 1:3.1.90-0ubuntu3

[Lukasz Olszewski (olszewskil)]

Still present in Oneiric with nautilus 3.2.0

[Renegade22 (robert-meier-gmx)]

Still present in Oneiric with nautilus 3.2.0, it crashes my nautilus like 80% of the time. I'm running gnome-shell

[Jason (jnormore)]

same issue here.. oneiric and nautilus 3.2.0, nautilus crashes over 50% of the time directly after opening a file manager

[marco gagli (4584313-gmail)]

I have this same bug.

If I log in as the GUEST user everything works fine even though the .xsession-errors file still has some of the same errors.

[marco gagli (4584313-gmail)]

Is this the same bug as #754622?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The recent comments' issue is due to ubuntuone-client-gnome which leads to conflict if you install nautilus code using gconf, you should install the ubuntuone-client-gnome stable update published today which fixes this issue

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

I tried again with those package versions:

Package: nautilus
Version: 1:3.2.0-0ubuntu5

Package: ubuntuone-client-gnome
Version: 2.0.1-0ubuntu2

The first time I started nautilus from a terminal, no error messages were displayed. However, the second time error messages were still displayed.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

right, the update is supposed to fix the issues described in comment #15 to #18 from users who hijacked this bug for a different issue
