Nautilus 3.8.2 Self Close

Bitten by this bug, but it appears disabling a few background gnome-settings-daemon patches fixes the issue ?

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1170483

I have the same problem, with the same error message as Sabri:

maziero@citronelle:~$ nautilus
Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension
Initializing nautilus-dropbox 1.6.0

(nautilus:27643): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(nautilus:27643): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(nautilus:27643): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'nautilus' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 22628 error_code 9 request_code 62 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap

In addtion, I found these nautilus-related messages in dmesg:

My install is a Ubuntu 13.04 64 bits, with Gnome 3.8 (PPA gnome3-team), running in a Sony Vaio SVF14A15CBB (BIOS R0210DA).

Just to add some more information to my last post:
- I'm using this PPA: ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3.

Hi, I have found something new here: I replaced the default time-cycling background image (the vertical blue strips) by another background image and Nautilus stopped to die.

Now I'm using a static image (the reddish sand labyrinth from the chooser) and all seems fine.

Maybe the problem is related to the background time-cycling mechanism (it never worked here, by the way).

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. raring reached EOL on Jan 27, 2014.

What's the proper way to reopen this under 14.04?

I'm experiencing this problem with both Nautilus and Nemo under Ubuntu Gnome 64-bit.

same problem after upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04.

Those experiencing this under 14.04, please confirm if you are using the main and staging ppa's or without them. If you are no longer experiencing this problem, please let me know. Thanks

I am using the official and staging ppa for 14.04.3. It's still happening, mostly when I click a network-bookmark. Sometimes it crashes, sometimes it doesn't.
