turns out this actually happens when there is a duplicate entry in the .hidden file. it has nothing to do with ntfs drives. (i happened to browse a folder with the problem on both of my machines) I am not sure if this is worth fixing or not, most people will not run into it much.
Reproduction steps: 1. create a .hidden file in any directory. 2. place a filename into the file twice (on separate lines). the filename does not have to exist. 3. browse to the folder in nautilus and press ctrl+H OR browse to the folder in nautilus and click on another folder, either a subfolder or any other folder ** Description changed: - opening nautilus and attempting to click on any folders in a NTFS - drive/partition will consistently crash nautilus (also causing desktop - icons to disappear), usually after clicking through one or two folders. + opening nautilus and attempting to click on any folders in a folder with + a .hidden file that has a duplicate entry will consistently crash + nautilus (also causing desktop icons to disappear). i have attached terminal output from when the crash occurs, 2 seperate ones. my system locks up (but mouse still moves, music keeps playing) when nautilus is loading, after the 3rd line of terminal output. + + I am not sure if this is worth fixing or not, most people will not run + into it much. + + Reproduction steps: + 1. create a .hidden file in any directory. + 2. place a filename into the file twice (on separate lines). the filename does not have to exist. + 3. browse to the folder in nautilus and press ctrl+H OR browse to the folder in nautilus and click on another folder, either a subfolder or any other folder ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: nautilus 1:3.2.0-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia wl ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Oct 21 00:12:55 2011 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) ProcCmdline: nautilus Signal: 6 SourcePackage: nautilus StacktraceTop: raise () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 abort () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 ??
