Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:
1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run: ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug. 2. If step 1 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us. 3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921, reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1. Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280225 Title: NAUTILUS CRASHES ON sorting Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: i launched nautilus i had attached a 16gb usb drive and a mobile broadband attached i was connected to mobile broadband i clicked on download folder i deleted 2 items from folder then clicked on sort by size it was already sorted by size the nautilus turned grey and crashed ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-8.28-generic 3.13.2 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-8-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.13.2-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Feb 14 16:39:45 2014 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-visible-columns' b"['name', 'size', 'type', 'date_modified', 'where']" b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-column-order' b"['name', 'size', 'type', 'date_modified', 'group', 'where', 'mime_type', 'owner', 'permissions']" InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-03-24 (691 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha i386 (20120324) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-01-30 (15 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1280225/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
