I did manage to discover what was causing this! On my laptop it would crash, on my desktop it would not.
Came to discover that somehow on my laptop, even after 'resetting' gnome (by removing the .gnome, .gnome2, .gconf, .gconfd directories) that some settings sit around, like your preferred applications. What you need to do to fix this is change the setting from Custom (or whatever else it may be, that's what mine was set.) Under System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications. Then click on the System tab, and then select Gnome Terminal. That'll fix this issue. I'm not entirely what exactly mine was set to, though I'm guessing it's a terminal that I didn't have available, because if you set Custom and still have gnome-terminal selected, it works. apparently if you just make it blank, it'll make nautilus crash. So that is where the actual crash is happening. -- nautilus-open-terminal freezes nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
