There is a possibility that the pulseaudio daemon is either the direct or indirect cause of applications locking up. It was observed that the pulseaudio daemon failed to start during the Ubuntu boot up. The package was subsequently removed and the default Ubuntu desktop was used. In this configuration Thunderbird, Firefox and other applications worked as expected. Before the windows of these application eventually darken and the application locked up.

No problem with XUbuntu desktop. Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I was asked by auto-bot email to submit package information for bug report 1022370. But that process generates another bug report. So that old bug report and this report should probably be tied together. I am not shure how to do that. Ok, so, in order to create the proper bug report I needed to log back in using the default Ubutntu desk top. Then (I hope this is right) I needed to run ubuntu-bug -w and click on the desk top (not a window). Well, that's what should be attached to this bug report. But this is living on the edge. As this session of Firefox usually locks up on this desk top. The session of Thunderbird I was using to read the auto-bot email has already locked up. Let me know if you need anything else. -thanks ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-26.41-generic-pae 3.2.19 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae i686 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu8 Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Jul 8 17:09:01 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus GsettingsChanges: InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20120423) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/tcsh SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) XsessionErrors: gnome-session[1629]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file /home/stuart/.config/autostart/xfce4-settings-helper-autostart.desktop: Key file does not have key 'Name' gnome-session[1629]: WARNING: could not read /home/stuart/.config/autostart/xfce4-settings-helper-autostart.desktop (compiz:1699): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_client_add_dir: assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1022390/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
