the nfs issues could be that the dialog tries to stat a file on the server which block or something but the description and comments are just confusing since they seem to list different issues from different users, would be much easier to open new clean bugs than commenting on similar closed bugs -- desktop launcher properties window crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224642 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

John, your nfs case seems to be different from the bug described there, and writting crashes in the title if the software doesn't crash is misleading and lead to such confusions -- desktop launcher properties window crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224642 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 224642] Re: desktop launcher properties window crashes
Hi, This bug was closed as invalid because no GDB stack trace had been provided for the crash; but there is no crash per se, so a stack trace is not really appropriate. Further investigation reveals that everything works fine with user-space NFS but not with the kernel-based NFS server, which suggests it's a locking issue of some kind (as unfs3 does not support locking). Please let me know if there's anything you need which we can actually provide.

NFS mounted home here as well, exhibits same problem.

[Bug 224642] Re: desktop launcher properties window crashes
I've had exactly the same problem on my system at work. Ubuntu 8.04, with nfs mounted home directory (red hat EL5 nfs server) and nis served by solaris 9 host. I don't know if these problems are related or not, but I often have to touch the .Xauthority file to allow X client apps to display if they've been launched from other hosts. Virtual box (2.0.4) also aborts (seemingly at random) and I wonder whether its something to do with filesystem notification event issues with NFS. -- desktop launcher properties window crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224642 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 224642] Re: desktop launcher properties window crashes
I have been triying to retrieve the info you request from gdb, but there is a problem. The page at the ubuntu wiki explains how to debug an app that crashes. But, in this case, Nautilus doesn't crash. It is only the properties window that disappears when you click on the Launcher tab. So gdb stands waiting for the program to crash, indefinitely. The only solution is to press Ctrl+c, but it doesn't provide any info about the bug. Anyway, I attach the output of the program. ** Attachment added: gdb-nautilus2.txt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18642299/gdb-nautilus2.txt -- desktop launcher properties window crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224642 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I'm not sure how to get the stack trace via gdb. If I say something like gdb nautilus then nautilus executes and forks, causing a detach, leaving gdb without anything meaningful. If I say something like gdb --pid=1234 to attach to my running nautilus, then nautilus hangs until I quit gdb. I have installed nautilus-dbg as indicated by the debugging guide. Any suggestions?

Here's a me too. /home is NFSv3 mounted and there's nothing obviously wrong with the Launcher, but the Properties dialog closes after selecting the Launcher tab.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a .crash file. Please follow these instuctions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit. I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently.
