GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 85309
gnome-vfs causes Nautilus to crash frequently.
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description of Problem: Nautilus crashes after launching applications from within the 'Start Here' folder. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Double click on 'Start Here' icon on the desktop. 2. Double click on 'Applications' icon. 2. Double click on an application. Actual Results: The application launches and then Nautilus crashes. Expected Results: Nautilus shouldn't crash. How often does this happen? Intermittent. The crash happened quite frequently, but the step to produce it appear to vary. Additional Information: According to the backtrace this crash occurs in do_monitor_cancel() from vfolder-desktop-method.c, i.e. it looks like a gnome-vfs bug. I see from the gnome-vfs ChangeLog that vfolder-desktop-method.c was modified shortly before its 2.0.0 version bump. Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/gnome/head/INSTALL/bin/nautilus' [New Thread 1024 (LWP 2394)] [New Thread 2049 (LWP 2401)] [New Thread 1026 (LWP 2402)] [New Thread 2051 (LWP 2403)] [New Thread 3076 (LWP 2450)] 0x420b4769 in wait4 () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
