The crash occurred when I attempted to copy a file from the UbuntuOne folder to the Documents folder after the latter opened.

It happens every time I visit one of "standard" forlder, I mean ("Pictures", "Document", etc.) in my home folder. Crashes started after last update.

same for me --> visit "standard" folders.

Reproduce it with: open home folder from launcher --> double click on "Pictures" or "Desktop" etc. --> nautilus window closes

Created bug pattern for this bug as it is affecting many users.

As a (bad) workaround, you can remove ubuntuone-client gnome temporarily until this bug is sorted out.
Note: i dont use the UbuntuOne service

sudo apt-get remove ubuntuone-client-gnome

After removing it nautilus no longer crashes while browsing common folders. (and browsing is a bit faster)

Looks like this is related to LP 804946 which was supposedly fixed in libglib, however this looks like the same bug.

Nautilus crashed when i go on any subfolder of my home directory.

If i go on another folder all it's ok

Sorry, not any subfolder, just "Music", "Pictures", ...

The error happend whem I was trying acess documents folter through Dash

I have the same issue with all the folders in ~ except Video, Desktop, Ubuntu One and Dropbox.
Removing the package ubuntuone-client-gnome helps.

I was touble tapping to get into my Downloads folder (which I could see were syncing to Ubuntu One) when it Nautilus became black/white and crashed... Happened two times in a row now :/

I'm affect to this bug. Nautilus crash when i click to Pictures, Documents or download

Confirmed.

 sudo apt-get remove ubuntuone-client-gnome

I wouldn't uninstall, prob won be too long until issue is fixed, just install dolphin or thunar until the issue is resolved

Actually pcmanfm is a lot like nautilus but lighter and faster, so just use that until the issue with nautilus is fixed would be my recomendation

i just can open "examples", "Ubuntu One", "Videos". If i try to open any other folder natilus crashed.

happened when I tried to open the ~/Documents folder.

Seg faults anytime I try to open a sub folder under home.

untarred vmware player 4.0.
after extracting prompt appeared asking to show files - i clicked yes
dialog with this error popped up

Same here!...

(It happens every time I visit one of "standard" forlder, I mean ("Pictures", "Document", etc.) in my home folder. Crashes started after last update.)

I remove de ubuntu one client and work good. Didnt ocurred the error again.
thanks Ivan

Removing the ubuntuone-client-gnome package worked for me too.

This is just to confirm the problem still exists, it only seems to affect the 64bit version on both my desktop and my laptop but not the 32bit version I have in Virtual Box under Windows XP on the desktop, that may be relevant.

I was wrong it is now present on this version of Ubuntu11.10Beta2 32bit in Virtual Box in Windows Vista.

Yeah, it affects me too. I was trying to access ~/Downloads

I have a problem that I have a sever nautilus crash and I nolonger have a interface. I tried to report this but I have nothing but a wallpaper.

I have same problem, cant open home folder from launcher end then nautilus window it closes.
 I try this "sudo apt-get remove ubuntuone-client-gnome", After removing it nautilus no longer crashes while browsing home folders.

All I did was run "nautilus &" from a terminal and wait a few seconds and it crashed pretty quickly

fwiw, I had both both ubuntuone-client-gnome package and nautilus-dropbox installed. I reinstalled both ubuntuone-client-gnome and nautilus-dropbox and things no longer crash
