If i try to view the contents of this folder /usr/share/inkscape/examples Nautilus crashes and all desktop icons disappear, right clicking on the desktop does nothing, I got the following from /var/log/syslog, seem to be related to a long standing bug in the svg library used by nautilus viewing some .svg files,
I know this may be an upstream problem but still this makes for a very poor quality desktop, if this were in other operating systems we would be up in arms about it and there would be much argument about how things got fixed quickly in the open source community, does not seem to be the case now, I have this problem a long long time ago and it is still there after much bug reporting. I think some of the problems we report here can be replicated easily I do it with the three Linux machines I have and the same thing happens, it is time for the developers who read bug reports to stop asking people to do all kinds of unnecessary things, all they have to do is bloody try for themselves, they will see, I am quite sure most of these problems are not specific to one computer. If this is of any use here is something from syslog: kernel: [ 58.509498] nautilus[1979] general protection ip:e23545 sp:b4f2fa00 error:0 in librsvg-2.so.2.26.0[e0b000+36000] -- Nautilus crashing/freezing when opening folder with svg file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305546 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
