nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in gconf_client_get(), if both nautilus-open-terminal and ubuntuone-client-gnome are installed

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Removed the nautilus-open-terminal package, and then I could use nautilus again

Removing the nautilus-open-terminal helped a bit, but nautilus is still crashing way too often. I can't open the Desktop, or Ubuntu-one subscribed folders, for example.

Nicolás: That is an other bug: bug #804946 that showed up in the same time

@u-foka: I meant that nautilus crashes if I try to open the Desktop folder, how is this related to a crash in gnome-settings-daemon? Thanks you.

Nicolás: Sorry, the bug I originally found (Bug #865105) was marked as a dupe...
For short, you have to remove ubuntuone client too and nautilus will be okay :)

@u-foka: Thanks for the info. I use UbuntuOne a lot so uninstalling it is not an option, but no biggie, I always knew this things can happen in a beta. Hope this get fixed fast, though.

Crashed after booting. After last update

For me this happens if I use gksudo nautilus

Whenever I click on Desktop Nautilus crashes. It also crashes randomly when using it in other folders. After that it does not restart for some time. Tried deinstalling nautilus-open-terminal and Ubuntu One, no effect, also after restart. The problem occurred yesterday after updating.

Nautilus always crashes while opening a folder that is synced with Ubuntu One. No Prpblem with Dropbox-integration btw.

Removed
- nautilus-open-terminal
- nautilus-script-manager
- nautilus-scripts-manager
all extension like 'set as wallpaper'

without effect, nautilus still crashes while opening my synced folders.

This bug was fixed in the package nautilus-open-terminal - 0.19-1build1

---------------
nautilus-open-terminal (0.19-1build1) oneiric; urgency=low

nautilus is still crashing here, if I have nautilus-open-terminal installed

Nicolás, do you have version 0.19-1build1 of the package installed?
Have you rebooted your system, or made otherwise sure that nautilus is being reloaded?
(for me, even killing nautilus has not been enough yesterday, but it works now for me).

Just installed nautilus 0.19-1build1 on my Ubuntu 11.10 system but still crashing nautilus (1:3.2.0-0ubuntu5) and had to uninstall.

You are right.
I had it crashing now, too.

However, it does not appear to be 100% reproducible - sometimes nautilus starts up OK, but when killing it and starting it again, it might segfault.

Having the same issue here on two installations.

If both nautilus-open-terminal and ubuntuone-client-gnome are installed then nautilus crashes. Removing one of them makes nautilus work again.

Confirmed that uninstalling of ubuntuone-client-gnome solves the crash, for the moment.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Removed the nautilus-open-terminal package, and then I could use nautilus again

Uninstalling ubunto one gnome had no effect on my machine. . It still crashes. Its to the point that nautilus is totally unusable.

Removing the nautilus-open-terminal package fixed for me.

removing ubuntuone-client-gnome, killing and restarting nautilus appearantly "fixed" this for me.

Removed the nautilus-open-terminal package, and then I could use nautilus again

Removed the nautilus-open-terminal package, and then I could use nautilus again as well.

yes, but removing the terminal package is exactly what I do not want to do :-) anyway, it is a good fix for the moment.

I think that the best fix would be make nautilus-open-terminal use dconf
instead of gconf, this will be a god move considering that gnome3 is using
dconf too.

You can also remove ubuntuone-client-gnome and keep nautilus-open-terminal (that's what I did to work around this).

Can confirm, removing nautilus-open-terminal resolved the crashes.

Problem ist gelöst Danke für die Antworten.

nautilus is unusable for me at the moment

this bug looks similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/867481

purged nautilus-open-terminal
tried a few clicks, nautilus seems stable

installed nautilus-open-terminal again,
nautilus cant start and dies with:

$ nautilus

Hello manatorg, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntuone-client-gnome into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I don't see why this should be set back to Confirmed. Fixing.

Tested and seems to work now with both nautilus-open-terminal and ubuntuone-client-gnome (new version) installed, i.e no more crashes.

It works perfectly for me with Nautilus open terminal and Ubuntu One as well.

It works perfectly for me with nautilus open terminal and Ubuntu one. Congratulation for the excelente job.

Hi,
I have ubuntu installed on a virtual machine, and after update nautilus started again, A restart was necessary, but works!

Thnks
Bye

fixed for me, too

When this patch will be pushed to -recommended ???

Al hacer click sobre carpeta personal en Unity

Nautilus are crashing way to often from the unity menu (argh!!):

->when I open a mounted ntfs disk it crashes when there are multimedia files (all multimedia files play in other apps !!!)

-> when I open a ext4 (with journal) and then navigate to PLACES where there is multimedia files

-> when navigating in dirs and trying to open files (any kind !!!)

By multimedia files i mean either images. videos and some mp3

dmsg reports this :

No crash for me since the last update.

Congratulations for the developers!

I think there Nautilus plugin system fails as well. Failure in nautilus-open-terminal or any other plugin should not cause Nautilus to crash, it can crash the plugin, but not entire app.

Er... I've just installed updates and it still crashed for me.

Why don't you try

#aptitude purge nautilus-open-terminal

#aptitude install nautilus-open-terminal

(remember Windows :P )

Damn, same problem in Oneiric. Removing nautilus-open-terminal worked :(

Oct 22 09:14:05 tareq-laptop kernel: [46230.651668] nautilus[19152]: segfault at 1f00000020 ip 00007f85770e38be sp 00007fff9085a4a0 error 4 in libgconf-2.so.4.1.5[7f85770c9000+2d000]

For information i did a fresh install last thursday and no nautilus crash.

Problem solved for me with the new version of nautilis-open-terminal in Oneiric.

Thanks !

Uninstalling nautilis-open-terminal solved the problem here.

After a fresh install of Oneiric and removing all my previous preferences, nautilus-open-terminal worked again for me too.

This is not fixed on my machine. Nautilus crashes every time I open a folder placed on my desktop nautilus crashes. Also is crashing desktop.

@Dave and others being still affected by this in Oneiric (with updates installed): you are likely experiencing a different crash, so please report it as a new bug.
The best way would be to enable apport (via editing /etc/default/apport, then "sudo restart apport") and reproduce the crash. It should ask you to report it on Launchpad.

Something new. Nautilus is permanently crashed. When i try to run it print a lot of
"(nautilus:2910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed"
 messages and ends with memory violation.

Marcin, please file a new bug using "ubuntu-bug nautilus" to collect debug information. It is not this bug. See comment #59
