Oops, I meant "symbolic" links. I created them from the terminal using ln --symbolic etc.
I ran "apport-bug nautilus" right after the problem occured to report this bug. I'll try to get a better backtrace... ** Summary changed: - Nautilus crashes when accessing home folder shortcuts which are semantic links + Nautilus crashes when accessing home folder shortcuts which are symbolic links ** Description changed: I've mapped ~/Documents, ~/Pictures etc. to another harddrive (NTFS); /media/500GB/Documents, /media/500GB/Pictures etc. (Or actually ~/Dokumenter, ~/Bilder, etc. since I'm using the norwegian version of Ubuntu). /media/500GB is set up to automount on boot, and lets me conveniently share my home folders with the Windows 7 installation I'm dual booting with. Haven't symbolically linked my Windows 7 home folders to that disk yet though, I don't really use it ;) When I open a Nautilus window, I can browse around folders (as I always enjoy doing when I've got some spare time) with no problems. I can browse to /media/500GB and its subfolders as well. However, if I click the "Documents" shortcut (or "Pictures" etc.) from the Computer section (not the Bookmarks section), Nautilus just closes down (I assume it's some form of a crash). - Edit: It also happens when I try to open the semantic links by double- - clicking or pressing enter on them, so it's probably not got to do with - the menu itself. Still works through the terminal though, so the - semantic links themselves are working. + Edit: It also happens when I try to open the symbolic links by double-clicking or pressing enter on them, so it's probably not got to do with the menu itself.
