nautilus crashes with segfault in libglib-2.0

[solitaire]

I'm having a strange problem with Nautilus crashing when i click on the "computer" icon in places menu... I also loose desktop icons as well.

I get the following entry in my log file:

Jul 4 22:43:34 Europa kernel: [43289.282786] nautilus[4715]: segfault at 0 ip b79083d7 sp bfc47954 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2000.1[b78ab000+b6000]
i've reinstalled libglib-2.0.2000 just going to try a log out and back in to see if that fixes this...

else anyone got a suggestion?

*update*
Still getting a segfault.

Thinking of doing a reinstall anyway but would like to sort this out in case it happens again...

I'm (actually my sister is) experiencing same kind of segfaults.

I have only remote connection to the machine, but before she logs in with gdm everything seems calm. When she logs in and starts fro example gimp or pidgin following errors come to /var/log/messages.

These same kind of segfaults (error in libc, libjpeg, libglib, pidgin) also come from gimp-2.6 and firefox and other programs she tries to run.

System is fresh Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04. It is an older computer where I added more RAM recently so it could be memory issue.
I put her to run memtest to see if it is a memory issue.

Do you have any other ideas what might cause this kind of behavior?

Check out and if applicable, add a comment here:

Looks like it's something recently happening. Did you just do an update or install UbuntuOne? Those were the 'new' things for me before it started.

I'm getting this bug on one of my Jaunty-64 systems, but not on my laptop running 64-bit Jaunty. Both run KVM & libvirt, as well as UbuntuOne

Will check bug reports too

I'm having this bug on jaunty.
I get this:

if I click on "computer" or "network".
But... yesterday evening it worked, then this morning it doesn't work anymore!!
Is someone getting a solution?

EDIT: it works after uninstalling ubuntu one...

[tpischke]

Ditto here, just installed Ubuntu One

Have no UbuntuOne installed but experiencing Nautilus segfaults.

# sudo apt-cache pkgnames|grep ubuntu|grep one

Same with me: a lot of entries like:
[ 727.235758] nautilus[3682]: segfault at 0 ip b6f246f7 sp bfb4d6c4 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2600.0[b6ec3000+cd000]

on dmesg output. Couldnt open the "Places" menu. When I login I could see dozens of Nautilus windows crashing. So I killed :

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon

And everything works well.

I was using Ubuntu One to sync some files from work to home.

I'm using 10.10 and home and at work, both systems are updated.

Any ideas?
