ok.. some more details.. I tried creating another user and logging in as that one, and it works just fine. Logging in as my user still causes nautilus to crash however.
Also.. if I log out, move the log file, and log in, the log file gets recreated, however the timestamps in the log still have the times from when the problem started last night (3:45). Which seems really strange to me because that means that the log entries are being stored somewhere else somehow and are being copied into this file. Additionally, I left the computer at the login screen last night, assuming that would stop the log from getting bigger, but this morning the file is now 28 MB and has entries all the way from 3:45 to 11:48 (i.e. now). I'm not sure how that's possible if nautilus wasn't even running.. Looking at the size of the file using a terminal with "ls -l" is also quite strange. If I type ls -l over and over really fast I can see that the size of the log is very rapidly changing from being a few bytes up to being 28 MB and then back to a few bytes again, over and over. Every time with the same data.. without the timestamps changing. -- nautilus can get stuck into a state where it will get stuck in a loop continually crashing whenever it starts up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152540 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
