GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 130124
Nautilus crashes on desktop-launch (bus error)
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Every time I start Gnome 2.4.1 Nautilus starts to draw the Desktop but ends with a "bus error" after drawing the first Desktop-Icon (home) on the screen. The error-message: The application nautilus (process 65667) crashed on a severe bug (Bus error) - I translated this from german into english, so I might have not used the exact words. Sorry, don't know how to provide any further information.
Two further hints: - yesterday I made a portupgrade (but there where no gnome or nautilus packages?! I rmember tiff and libaudio but there where two oher updated packages) - I tried to "make deinstall" and "make reinstall" the nautilus2-package, but with no effort
Thanks for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused the crash. Please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information about getting a useful stack trace.
Sorry, here comes the backtrace: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/X11R6/bin/nautilus' (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)... (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)... (no debugging symbols found)...0x28d55b64 in __sys_poll () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4

Thanks for the trace. Similar BSD-related bugs have been reported. See bug 107089, where the following comment was recorded: ********************* The following comment from 100709 may be relevant: "It turns out this was an accidental FreeBSD ABI change during the import of gcc-3.2.1. div(), a structure returning function, was the culprit." ********************* I'm closing this as a dupe of 100709
