Opening Trash kills nautilus?

[bpowell2005]

Edit: I'm marking this as "Solved"...although I do not believe the problem is solved, I've at least identified what the problem is (unstable version of libglib2.0) and I'll be rolling this package back to the previous version which is a confirmed fix (see link below). The root cause is of course still an issue, but that's for the developers. I've submitted a bug report, all the crash logs, a Valgrind log, and others have submitted multiple back traces...I'm sure the team has more than enough data to mine through to work out a solution.

Thanks everybody for the suggestions / assistance! What a community!

Hi All,

I just discovered a problem today, hope you can help...whenever I click on the trash icon, or right-click and select "Open trash" my desktop icons all disappear, and my conky disappears...I'm left with my desktop background, and the upper and lower tool / status bars...but no Icons.

I have the desktop cube, it's still working...not sure what is happening here...any help?

Thanks!

Just an edit: Also, if I open a Nautilus window, and select "Trash" the nautilus window crashes out as well.
Edit #2: Running Ubuntu Jaunty with latest updates...also, I can't find a .Trash folder in my home directory

Here's an update:

When looking at /var/log/messages, I see the following error appear any time I click the trash icon:

Jan 31 11:40:04 computer kernel: [ 609.482053] nautilus[4283]: segfault at 7f00656d614e ip 00007f6aba315169 sp 00007fff2456db10 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2200.3[7f6aba2bb000+c6000]

Help! Please!

Try removing the trash can from the panel and then add it back.

Also, check if there's a folder in ~/.local/share

Okay, remove and replace trash can does not help.

If I empty the trash, then I can open it just fine...however, once there is something in the trash, it causes this segfault.

Natulius will also segfault if I go to "Computer" from places or "Network"...I just updated the computer today...and libglib was updated...it seems like this could be related?

I tried to force the "Jaunty updates" version of libglib 2.0 (2.20xxx instead of 2.22.xxx) but Ubuntu wanted to remove a LOT of programs as a related task...

I'm not sure what's going on.

Also, check if there's a folder in ~/.local/share

Yes, it's located in .local/share/Trash/files... thanks! Still having the segfault.

Does it segfault if you open up ~/.local/share/Trash/files?

Hi, I'm having the same issue. any news?

[bpowell2005]

Does it segfault if you open up ~/.local/share/Trash/files?

No, I can browse via nautilus and terminal to the Trash files location without a segfault.

Upon further testing, I also get a segfault when I click on "Places > Computer" or "Places > Network"

I'm running 9.04, fully updated (problem started after the last round of updates). I'm seeing this reported more and more...seems to be restricted to 64-bit folks.

No news...this is very frustrating, as a general rule, I've never seen Ubuntu break after updates! This is a first for me.

You're running AMD64 version of Ubuntu? Did this just happen after recent updates?

I've submitted a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...us/+bug/515336) please check the bug out, subscribe to it, and click the "this affects me" button...Hopefully we'll get this resolved.
