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

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for your bug report, did it happen in the middle of the update? did you get only once? what you trigger the bug in some way?

[Mark Faulkner (faylcon)]

The crash happened on the initial boot after upgrading to 12.04. It happened only once.

Happened to me when trying to close a nautilus window, maybe the content of the folder was changing at that time (firefox nightly folder while updating firefox nightly)

[Steve Magoun (smagoun)]

I reproduced this in 12.04 by:
1) Plug in an iPhone
2) Navigate around the iPhone's filesystem for a bit
3) Unmount the iPhone from within nautilus by clicking the 'unmount' icons in the left-hand side column
4) Click the close button on the nautilus window. Notice that nothing happens. Click it again...and again

this bug happend to me after dropbox tried to restart nautilus. So it may be something in the "shutdown" routine of nautilus?

[Gvozdik Artem (gvozdik)]

Happened on precise with no reason.

[Humberto F. da Luz Jr. (humbfdljr-l)]

It happenned to me when I opened the update-manager. I have no idea what's the reason.

[Benjamin Geese (ben-8409)]

It happened while i was doing some unity testing with checkbox. Wanted to use the unity dash to open gedit (typed gedi and hitted enter), but somehow started nautilus in full screen. as this was not what i wanted i very quickly tryed to close it blicking close. Nothing seemed to happen, clicked several time until the crash message appeared.

I was able to reproduce it once, by opening trying to close it again very fast. Sadly with gdb attached an debug symbols installed, i am no longer able to repduce it. I might be doing something wrong...

In regards to 12.10 dev
Possibly it's just my hardware though don't think it's that uncommon (Dell 13300m, nvidia 8400m, 3.5 yrs. old

If so then then I guess that's just the way it goes..

Tried on both fresh 32 & 64 bit A2 installs - as soon as gtk/gail/naitilus are upgraded to current then it becomes impossible to go more than a min. or so without this crash.
In addition to what's in the various reports show attached in xsession-errors.

Reverting gtk/gail to 3.5.4 & nautilus to 3.5.2 & all works fine
Will give one more try once the current packages are on the daily image to see if upgrading them is involved in issue (here

[Karma Dorje (taaroa)]

the same thing happens to 12.10 dev

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the recent quantal issues are likely different from that one and tracked by bug #1018896

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug didn't get activity/new duplicates for some years and the nautilus code saw quite some changes since which probably deprecated the issue so closing it. If it's still a problem in recent Ubuntu/nautilus version please submit a new report
