rom: Erik Hemdal <ehemdal@townisp.com> To: submit@bugs.gnome.org X-Mailer: bug-buddy 2.4.0 Subject: Nautilus crash wipes out desktop icons Distribution: Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow) Package: nautilus Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.4.0 2.0.x Gnome-Distributor: GNOME.Org Synopsis: Nautilus crash wipes out desktop icons Bugzilla-Product: nautilus Bugzilla-Component: general Bugzilla-Version: 2.0.x BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.4.0.1) Description: Description of the crash: Nautilus crashed and presented the Error dialog asking me to submit a bug report. Occurred on Fedora Core 1 with latest kernel. After the crash, all the icons on my Desktop are gone (Trash, Start Here, and Home folders). Trying to restart Nautilus from the Red Hat menu DID NOT work. The context-sensitive menu on the desktop (right-click menu) is also gone. Steps to reproduce the crash: 1. Start the system and open Nautilus 2. Work normally (I used Open Office) 3. Nautilus crashed while it did not have focus and was not being used. Expected Results: Nothing, since I was not using Nautilus. How often does this happen? This is the first time, although it has crashed twice today over a span of about 3 hours in various situations. Additional Information: Hardware is a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop (2GHz Celeron, 256MB ram). Running Fedora Core 1 with all updates installed as of 1/16/04. Sorry for scant detail, but I wasn't using Nautilus and was not expecting a crash. Post-crash, there isn't much working! :-( Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/nautilus' (no debugging symbols found)...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".

That's pretty annoying.. Can you reproduce this in a recent version of nautilus (like 2.4 or 2.5)? And if so can you get a more complete stacktrace? (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more info)
Roger and wilco. I confirmed that the bug occurred in version 2.4.0, which is what is installed. Next time it crashes, I will attempt to capture a decent stack trace.
Created attachment 23486 [details] Stack trace for defect 131735
Here are the detailed steps for reproducing the crash. 1. Open nautilus and open an OpenOffice file for some edits. 2. Use the Screenshot applet to capture a screen image. 3. When saving the file, nautilus crashes as before. This scenario resulted in the stacktrace in bug131735-nautilus-stacktrace.txt.
Thanks, Erik. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
