** Summary changed: - Nautilus crash when changing permissions + Nautilus crashes when changing permissions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1225563 Title: Nautilus crashes when changing permissions Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This happens when running as root: myuser@mycomputer:~$ gksu nautilus When permissions are changed through right-clicking a folder and selecting properties, nautilus displays a properties dialog, quickly followed by an empty dialog box and crashes. This only affects folders, not files. Sometimes the dialog displays: "The owner could not be changed." "Sorry, could not change the owner of 'test'. Specified owner 'myuser' does not exist." (See attachments). I know myuser exists as I am logged in as myuser! This also happens when the folder is owned by 'otheruser', who is not logged on. ===Work-around=== Use chmod to change permissions. ------------------------------------------------------- 1) Description: Ubuntu 13.04 Release: 13.04 ------------------------------------------------------- 2) nautilus: Installed: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16 Candidate: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16 Version table: *** 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16 0 500 http://ve.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ------------------------------------------------------ 3) I expected for it to let me change basic folder properties and/or permissions. ------------------------------------------------------ 4) Instead it crashes.
