It would seem that this may not affect all hardware quite the same, some have reported no or only occasional issue. Here I've tested on 3 machines using the latest image, 2 laptops, 1 desktop. All exhibit almost constant crashes of nautilus in use. The only thing similar about them is intel dual core & nvidia adapters.
Attached is small vid showing most but not all of the common ways the crash occurs here inc. a side effect on unity launcher after a crash & re-open. This is on a new install, ubuntu session though all sessions would show the same. So atm this renders the use of nautilus almost impossible on some machines The only change from when gtk-3.5.6 first showed in proposed to current image is it happens more now, virtually every other fresh opening of a naut window ** Attachment added: "out.ogv" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1018896/+attachment/3217443/+files/out.ogv -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018896 Title: nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in gtk_ui_manager_new_merge_id() Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gtk+3.0” source package in Quantal: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” source package in Quantal: Confirmed Bug description: This is a quantal bug not on precise so I entered a new bug report.
