Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 42277 ***
Sorry, I pulled the trigger too earlier. This is actually a different bug, because the image is not from a remote mount but from the web, and results in a crash. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!
Here's the stack trace --- stack trace ---
+ Trace 232724
Thanks for the stack trace. Unfortunately, this 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. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? To do so, install these 3 packages: libglib2.0-0-dbg libgtk-3-0-dbg nautilus-dbg Then repeat the procedures to get a new stacktrace. Thanks in advance!
New file with all info needed: --- stack trace ---
+ Trace 232725
Hope the latest one helps...
Yes, the latest one has complete debug information!
