Description lukeh 2001-12-13 02:24:19 UTC 
1. Open a directory view in Nautilus with icons showing contents of files.
2. cd to that directory in a shell.
3. Type "cat > temp".
4. Type multiple lines into file.  Icon will update interactively.  (Don't
you love FAM+Nautilus!)
5. You may have to close file after text reaches end of icon, and repeat
steps 3-4 again a few times, depending on your system, as it looks like
this is some sort of race problem.
6. Nautilus suddenly disappears.

Nautilus 1.0.6, FAM 2.6.6-1, Athlon 1.4/DDR, Linux 2.4.9-rh13.
Comment 1 Darin Adler 2001-12-13 07:05:59 UTC 
It would really help if you could do this under gdb and get a
backtrace. Otherwise I just have to do the same thing, and there's
no guarantee I'll be able to reproduce the bug. Plus, I'm swamped
with Nautilus work right now.

So if you can get that backtrace, I might be able to fix this right
away, but otherwise it will be a while before I can get to it.

This was the best I could do:

(gdb) attach 12085
Attaching to process 12085

Continuing.

How do I get sybmols in the backtrace?  I don't have the source so I
can't recompile with -g.  How do I get backtraces for all the nautlius
threads?

Adding GNOME2 keyword to bugs with 1.1.x milestone.
Comment 4 John Fleck 2002-01-26 04:00:46 UTC 
Removing GNOME2 keyword from a bunch I accidentally marked incorrectly.
Comment 5 lukeh 2002-05-27 18:21:46 UTC 
OK, this is a duplicate of a nautilus2 bug that several people have
provided backtraces for.
