Sebastien, Yes it happens every time I leave it open on that particular version of ubuntu. It does not happen on my 64 bit system. We actually have 3 machines running ubuntu but the third one has not been in use for long enough to know. We would need to set up 32 bit machine open nautilus and wait. Is there a way to turn on debug?
I have been a software developer and computer system instructor. On that particular machine I am developing a system in spin for a parallax propeller. I am also starting to develop another piece of the system in python. For a while I was a unix administrator (aix). I would be prepared to do whatever I can if you want to give me guidance. I love challenges! I ran memtest on the machine and it passed but there could still be a hardware glitch somewhere but it seems to affect only nautilus. I thought it might be a problem with 'bst' which is a ide for spin as it is buggy but I added a tool to gedit to run the compiler and created a language file so I can use gedit instead.
