Ok, I did not post before as I was doing deep tests on Edgy and Feisty Alpha, on how to find a way to reproduce the crash with a live CD. I can now trig it straightforwardly and easily.
The result is that I get this Nautilus bug / crash on *both* distros live CDs, Edgy and Feisty Alpha. I boot on the live CD, then I simply install the gstreamer 0.10 plugins : ffmpeg, fluendo-mp3, bad, bad-multiverse, ugly, ugly-multiverse. The bug/crash is then trigged in Nautilus when setting the option in Nautilus : "Preview sound" to "Always". To trig it : I browse a *ssh* folder in *icon view* with mp3s, and I double click on different mp3s (which starts totem), then I close totem and double click on some other mp3s file, or I try to right click on an mp3 file and display its properties, ... After 3 or 4 such actions, nautilus starts to become unstable : it does not display anymore the mp3 icon (with a music note), just a white plain icon and does not respond anymore. Sometimes, it also crashes and trigs the crash bug report. Notes : - the bug does not appear for local mp3s, nor in Nautilus list view. - The bug appears also if I install mpg123-alsa. In that case, the sound preview works, but the bug/crash still appears. -- Crash when browsing ssh-folders containing mp3 files https://launchpad.net/bugs/93088 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
