Title:
Crashes on startup if shows "required directories missing" dialog
Status in Nautilus:
Fix Released
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
[Impact]
If nautilus fails to find the directories it requires on startup it attempts
to show a dialog describing this and crashes due to following code assuming
this dialog is a file browser window.
[Test Case]
1. Create a test account
2. Log into this account from a text terminal
3. Create an invalid nautilus configuration directory:
$ mkdir .config
$ touch .config/nautilus
4. Log into this account from the greeter
Expected result:
You arrive at the users desktop
Observed result:
You arrive at the users desktop but background icons are not shown. A blank
dialog pops up momentarily then a crash report dialog. The blank dialog
periodically pops up again (as nautilus attempts to restart).
[Regression Potential]
There is a low risk that the proposed fix could cause other unforceen bugs.
