In an effort to track down the source of the problem, Launching Nautilus from a terminal I get: r...@imperial-command:~# nautilus
(nautilus:5720): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed ** (nautilus:5720): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal 'UploadFinished' ** (nautilus:5720): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal 'DownloadFinished' ** (nautilus:5720): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal 'ShareCreateError' Initializing nautilus-gdu extension Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension I installed nautilus-dbg, then tried gdb to get a back trace. I launch gdb with my usual setup: gdb nautilus 2>&1 | tee gdb-nautilus1.txt (gdb) handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint (gdb) set pagination 0 (gdb) run However, it a) reports Reading symbols from /usr/bin/nautilus...Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/nautilus...done. (no debugging symbols found)...done. b) exits and nautilus restarts without it. Can someone give me a few hints on how to properly backtrace a nautilus process? gdb output below: GNU gdb (GDB) 7.0-ubuntu Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
