Description Derek Scott 2007-11-04 03:41:01 UTC
Version: 2.18.3

What were you doing when the application crashed?
This happens every time I "right click - properties". Whether it's a folder or a file, always crashes now. Only after recent updates. (ie. today)

Comment 1 Derek Scott 2007-11-04 21:24:01 UTC
Update: I removed gnome-desktop-environment, and installed gnome-core and nautilus from unstable; no more crashes.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2007-11-05 11:42:02 UTC
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, the stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash.

Could you please help fixing this by installing some debugging packages [1], start the application as normal, and try to reproduce the crash, if possible?

Once bug-buddy pops up, you can find the stacktrace in the 'Details', now containing way more information. Please copy that stacktrace and paste it as a comment here. Thanks in advance!

[1] Please install debug packages for nautilus, glib2, gtk2, pango, gnome-vfs2, libgnome, and libgnomeui.

More details can be found here: http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces
Comment 3 Derek Scott 2007-11-06 00:14:34 UTC
I downgraded everything back to testing, and installed the debugging packages. The crash is back, but only for audio/video/picture files. If I right-click -- properties on, say, a text file or folder, everything is normal. Here's the new output from trying to get the properties window from an mp3 file:

I'll leave the system as is, in case you need more info.. as before, I believe upgrading to nautilus/gnome-core from unstable will solve the issue. The gnome 2.20 environment is trickling into Debian testing in pieces, so this may be due to mismatching package versions.. I would guess anyways.

Also, I have another system running Debian testing, and this problem doesn't exist there. I see messages at the end of the output regarding java, and I've been having a problem with the azureus AzSMRC plugin (for remote azureus control) sometimes freezing on the crash-prone system, yet the other system, running azureus itself, has no issues.
