The issue was fixed sometime back during regular updates provided by the Update Manager. I am now able to start Nautilus as root on Ubuntu 14.04..
The status of the bug should be changed. I am not doing it myself, since I am a bit unexperienced and not sure if bugs that are fixed during regular updates, how are they tagged in the Status field. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309254 Title: Nautilus crashes when starting as root on Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1309254/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
