Thank you Bill, problem solved.
I got the same empty place holder, for my nvidia card. The empty file was
NVIDIA-Settings.desktop. I removed the file and the problem is gone.
I remember creating that placeholder when I installed the nvidia driver to get
it to work on my laptop (HP) which is stil
Take a look at the script fix suggested on the Ubuntu site. It worked

To developers:
I have tried to create an empty .desktop file on Hardy: no segfault, just a
nice error message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ update-desktop-database
Could not parse file
'/usr/share/applications/screensavers/flipscreen3d.desktop': Key file does not
start with a group
File '/usr/share/app
I am happy to see that things work for you now.
Like I said in a previous comment, when I remove "[Desktop Entry] in a .desktop
file on Hardy, it does not segfaults, so the problem should be gone in Hardy.
About your Nvidia card, it is unlikely to be because of your monitor, as

Paul,
After I sent my last message, I removed two completely empty
placeholders for my NVDIA card from /usr/share/applications (plus
discarded a small number of "dead" entries for applications which no
longer exist on my system) and as they say in Gay Paris, "Voila!", no
more segmentation faults w

Hi again Bill!
You could try:
grep -r -L "\[Desktop Entry\]" /usr/share/applications/*|grep .desktop
This is supposed to show .desktop files that don't contain "[Desktop Entry]"
which would in my
opinion be the cause of your bug.
If you find zero, it probably means I made some bad assumption.
If
Bill, it is possible that what I suggested you to do don't work.
At least Debian poster seems to say it does not work that way for him to find
corrupted .desktop files.
I am speaking to developers here.
I WAS WRONG.
I have deliberately broken my

I was hoping that the update-desktop-database.out file would be created even if
I was expecting it to segfault.
Maybe you can just sudo update-desktop-database -v
That should give something like:

No can do. Running this command produces a segmentation fault ...
exactly the same problem that I encounter when attempting to remove Yelp

I've attached the ls.out file. You'll note some links between

Paul,
Oh yea, get the "group_name" error you describe below. For whatever
reason, the apps that are associated with this problem are OpenOffice,
Java runtime, and Yelp. Any installation which touches these apps
provokes the error and leads to a "139" exit. None of these apps can be

Bill, could you in a terminal issue:

Hi Bill!
Do you have g_key_file_get_string_list: assertion `group_name != NULL' failed
too?
If not, I would probably consider it a different bug, that should be reported
in a new bug report.
In that case, you may want to explore in GUI /var/crash, and 'double-'click the

I'm experiencing the same problem when attempting to uninstall yelp and
openoffice. The problem occurs whether I use aptitude, the synaptic
package manager, or "apt" commands from a terminal session. I'm running
Gnome desktop version 2.20.1 with the latest incarnation of "Gutsy" in
16-bit mode.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
