I believe this is the stack trace. Not sure (29.80 KB, text/plain)

Description wmasters 2012-10-21 17:47:16 UTC 
Nautilus version: 3.6.1

System architecture: amd64

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 and have been successfully using gnome-shell 3.6 from the official gnome ppa.  Today (10/12/12) I received an update that makes nautilus crash every time it is opened.  


When run from the terminal this is the output I get:

(nautilus:6958): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_x11_display_get_xdisplay: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it.
Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

Is this what you're looking for?  This is my first attempt to get a stack trace :)

Additional info:  I've noticed that nautilus is still drawing the icons on the desktop, and I can still access nautilus via double click on one of them.  When I try to launch nautilus from the dock, run dialog, or terminal, I get the crash.

Reverting http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=629c9bc27a fixes this problem (which is, I believe, the same as bug 686600 and bug 686589).
Comment 5 Dmitry Shachnev 2012-10-22 06:38:03 UTC 
Ah, I think you can close this problem as NOTGNOME — the nautilus_application_add_platform_data function in which this crash happens is Ubuntu-specific function, added by our 21_correct_timestamp_use_fix_focus_issue.patch.

This should now be fixed in Nautilus 1:3.6.1-0ubuntu1~ubuntu12.10.2 in the GNOME3 PPA.

I can confirm that after today's (10/22/12) update, the problem no longer exists.
