Goodness, it's a pain to do all the configuration and download all the software needed to get a backtrace, isn't it? I'll try to find time to do all that later. Couldn't you build a little script that would do all the work, e.g. "ubuntu-backtrace nautilus" would do all those config steps, download the symbols, etc.? Please make bug reporting and tracing as painless as possible!
I have more information on the nautilus problem: I reran my virtual machine. I chose the "Install" menu item from the CD (which is a virtual CD - the virtual CDROM is attached to the Jaunty ISO file on my host system) and everything installed fine onto the virtual disk, and at reboot and login my desktop came up without any looping/dying nautilus problem. Then I noticed that the CDROM was listed as "disconnected" - I didn't have the Ubuntu CDROM icon visible on the desktop and there was a red "X" over the CDROM in the VMware Workstation status line. So I used Workstation to enable the CDROM. Boom - nautilus started looping. I disconnected the virtual CDROM. The looping/dying stopped. I reconnected the virtual CDROM. The looping/dying started. I configured a second virtual CDROM and attached it to the ISO file, and enabled it. The looping/dying started again. I disconnected it. I attached the virtual CDROM to my real, physical CDROM, stuck in an old Ubuntu install CD, and enabled it. The CD spun up and the Ubuntu icon appeared on my desktop. No looping. So, the nautilus looping/dying problem only happens when the virtual CDROM is connected to an ISO image in the host file system. -- nautilus repeated SIGABRT in VMware on live CD and DVD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
