Description Jon Proton 2007-11-13 22:10:36 UTC

Version: 2.18.3

What were you doing when the application crashed?
Within nautilus, I created two new folders within another folder.  I moved some files that were in the parent folder into one of the child folders.  Nautilus crashed.  Now every time I click on the parent folder in the Tree view to open it, nautilus crashes.  I have no problems accessing the folder and opening files within it using a terminal.   jackd is running, taking up some cpu.  I have a reiserfs filesystem and I'm running gentoo with gnome 2.18.3.  The latest dmesg error is related to my wireless card..
eth1: MAC controller error (WTERR). Ignoring.

Comment 1 André Klapper 2007-11-13 22:13:53 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 2 Jon Proton 2007-11-14 06:53:15 UTC


ok, I followed the instructions enable debugging info and reproduced the crash. It crashes whenever I click on any folder name in the tree-view.  I can click on an folder arrow to expand the branch okay, but clicking on the folder name to show the folder contents makes the crash occur.  Also, double clicking on a folder name in the main window area to open it causes the crash to happen too.

So I made a couple new stack traces. The first one is by clicking on a folder name in the tree-view.  The second one is by double clicking a folder in the main window area.  

Also.. you should probably know that I am running gnome over vnc (vino) because my laptop lcd is broken.  
Let me know if you need anything else.
thanks
Jon
