I messed around with the source package, nautilus-2.25.2/libnautilus- private/nautilus-link.c to be specific, and made a change that seems to fix the problem. In the function nautilus_link_get_link_name_from_desktop, where type is checked in order to assign an icon (at least that's what I think it does) I added a line to first check to see if type == NULL. I suppose the problem may have been trying to copy a string which did not exist. I have attached the modified file.
I am not a programmer by any means, so there is probably a better way to fix the problem, but maybe this will help. btw, if there is a better way to do this, please tell me. I'm kinda new to this. :) ** Attachment added: "nautilus-link.c" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21124463/nautilus-link.c -- /usr/share/applications/compiz.desktop, maybe other .desktop files, can crash nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315983 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
