Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
Whenever I log in, the gnome panels come up normally, but instead of the desktop I see a black screen. Additionally, I cannot open any file browsers. All other applications work fine. This is occurring on gutsy. I also have a file now in my home directory called "nautilus-debug- log.txt" that is increasing in size at a very fast rate. It starts off like this: ===== BEGIN MILESTONES ===== 0x8177880 2007/10/14 03:45:15.4372 (GLog): "nautilus-metafile.c: metafiles" hash table still has 17 elements at quit time (keys above) 0x8177880 2007/10/14 03:45:15.4373 (GLog): "nautilus-directory.c: directories" hash table still has 4 elements at quit time (keys above) 0x8177880 2007/10/14 03:45:15.4391 (GLog): nautilus_bookmarks_window_save_geometry: assertion `NAUTILUS_IS_BOOKMARK_LIST (bookmarks)' failed 0x8177880 2007/10/14 03:45:15.4441 (USER): debug log dumped due to signal 11 0x8177880 2007/10/14 03:45:15.4448 (USER): debug log dumped due to signal 11 0x8177880 2007/10/14 03:45:15.4452 (USER): debug log dumped due to signal 11 And then I have hundreds of identical lines, all saying the thing about signal 11. To me, based only on the fact that I see "... hash table ... quit time ...", I'm thinking maybe something it writes to disk when it exits became corrupted and now it's getting confused when it reads it again on boot up. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus Whenever I log in, the gnome panels come up normally, but instead of the desktop I see a black screen.
