[Bug 47619] Re: nautilus sometimes crashes when opening new window

[Rui Mesquita]

There really is no sure way to trigger this bug; clicking on a partition
on the desktop might work now, but in five minutes it might trigger a
crash.  Admittedly what seems to trigger it most often is calling a
partition directly from the 'removable media' menu under 'Places' ,
though it's certainly not exclusive to this procedure; I've had nautilus
crash when calling the downloads folder from the Firefox download
manager.

I have uploaded a screenshot of the nautilus window that appears after I simply click on the 'Home Folder' option under the 'Places' menu:

I think I've tried the spatial mode before but I'm not sure if I was
using the Konqueror file manager since I can't figure out now how to
activate it in Nautilus.

And as you can see, there are a bunch of duplicate buttons for opening
the current folder on a terminal (from the nautilus-open-terminal
package) that don't happen to work most times (they open a terminal on
my home folder). They started appearing like this only after the last
few times I updated this box about a week ago. Before there was there an
option for opening the current folder with Konqueror.

After purging and reinstalling the nautilus-open-terminal package, the
duplicate buttons remain, but at least sellecting the option from the
right click menu now works again.

I've had other issues towards the end of the beta fase that other people
were describing on the official ubuntu irc support channel, such as
having my username removed from the sudoers (admin) group, and X getting
it's configuration messed up.

I guess using a development beta always involves these kind of issues,
that's why it's called a development release, no matter how careful the
developers are, there are always incompatabilities or specific cases
which cannot be predicted, and which should be reported by the users.

I think I will really prefer to reinstall eventually in a few days when
the final version comes out.
