Description Pedro Villavicencio 2009-02-13 11:28:27 UTC

this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/328966

"This crash happened after 2nd reboot after some updates.
It had to do with a couple of dir's not being in place, I had a private folder set up and linked .gnome .gnome2 and some other dirs to it, but since the last reboot it seems to be broken"

But these unaccessible dir's seemded to cause nautilus to fail causing me to be able do nothing after login

after deleting my symlinks to all private folders and restarting x and loging in again nautilus and the gnome menu's are working again."

Comment 7 jens.timmerman 2011-05-25 12:24:10 UTC

I can still confirm this bug in 2.32.2.1
and due to the amount of duplicates I would say this bug is confirmed.

steps to reproduce:
(re)move your .gnome2 (and gnome2_private) folder
create a symlink to an nonexistent file named .gnome2 (and .gnome2_private):
ln -s nosuchdir .gnome2
try to log in to gnome
