Description of problem:

Right Clicking on fallback mode Desktop mounted USB icon kills nautilus


1) Enter fallback mode (mine does this by default)
2) Have File Manager handle the desktop
3) Plug in a USB drive
4) Right click on the Desktop USB drive Icon

Results:

No right-click context menu will show up and all the desktop icons will disapear as nautilus has crashed.

Unfortunatly no logging of the crash show up in /var/log/messages or .xsession-errors.

Comment 1 Bruce Brackbill 2011-12-06 23:11:33 UTC

I was incorrect, .xsession-errors does log something after all.

When I initially plug a USB stick I get the following: 

*** glibc detected *** /usr/libexec/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0a315ce8 ***
*** glibc detected *** /usr/libexec/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0a315ce8 ***

And then, the above message is displayed a second time when I right click on the Desktop icon just before the crash.

You should've received a crash notification from ABRT. The malloc error above might not be directly related, it's needed to be fixed however. To get real reason for nautilus crash, you can attach gdb to a running process and catching the backtrace manually on crash: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces

Well, I don't know exactly how things improved after running gdb, but I sure don't like it when problems change for no apparent reason.

ABR was not firing up so I ran gdb on nautilus.  After running gdb and installing the suggested debug info packages and running it again, the errors changed. NOW when I plug in the USB, nautilus successfully mounts the USB drive and opens up the folder (it didn't before) and I am able to right click on the USB Desktop icon and the context menu appears.

But, now what happens is totem-video-thumbnailer hangs and finally crashes nautilus trying to create the video thumbnail.

I ran ABR and reported it to bug #761304
