nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

I experience problems with nautilus. When any USB device is plugged nautilus "dissapears" - crashes. By "any USB device" I mean:
- pendrive,
- mouse,
- bluetooth (wireless on/off switch)
I don't know if it is related to nautilus or hal/dbus/udev whatever - I discovered that hal restart also causes nautilus crash.
Any suggestion?

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

I've got the same problem since few days. If I plug in an (USB-)Device (sticks, card-reader and CD/DVD) my nautilus chrashes and the desktop-icons dissapear. Nautilus attempt to open about 1-3 browser-windows, which fails.
I also think, that it must related to hal/dbus. DBus isn't any more in the rc.conf, since the Gnome-Update. The fstab is cutted down for the normal mounts like root or home. Sadly i can't get any log-information from the xsesseion-errors or anything else.

(Hal/DBus-wiki-pages/forum/google checked before posting wink )

I hope, anybody can confirm this weird problem.

Many thanks for the replies...BlueDarknezz

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

I also got the same problem and persist. I will remove fam and try gamin and post the result here. I suspect some bugs in fam causes this behavior.

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

i have this problem too.. in my case, btw, nautilus crashes but, after some attempt to open 2 or 3 browser windows,  it restarts himself and shows the icon of the usb pendrive\sd card\etc.. on the desktop. Doublecliking it and i can access to their respective content without any issues.

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

First I thought of Xorg hotplug problem and I blocked the option AutoAddDevices as given in the wiki. This did not solve the problem.
As I am using gnome I have a doubt over gnome-volume-manager.But in my another PC with the same gnome version and with fam everything is fine.
I removed fam and installed gamin and solved the problem in my case. You can find good discussion on this fam and gamin in this forum also wiki is always there for more help.

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

I tested gamin on my x64-arch and sadly fam isn't the issue for that problem. Because the same happens with gamin sad.
Anyway, thank you for the tip.

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

I also don't believe it is fam/gamin issue.
Indeed, nautilus crashes when pendrive/sd card is inserted. Recently, I discovered that it also crashes when cd/dvd is inserted. This could suggest it is fam/gamin issue. However, nautilus also crashes when USB mouse is inserted (which should not be affected by fam/gamin bugs) and when I switch on wireless switch. (It is reported by dmesg as an insertion of a new USB device.)
May be it is hal issue?
Does any one try to restart hal? In my case it also causes nautilus crash.

The same problem here, i'm helpless.

The issue came nere the updates around the 14th december (unsafe), but there wasn't any relay for such mount-problems.

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

Hi!
I´m new here and i am a Ubuntu user. I had exactly the same problem with Nautilus like tljm.
After a view days of working and searching on the net, i think i find the problem (on Ubuntu).
I had installed Brasero 0.8.4 from getdeb.net. After that my Nautilus crashed (like tljm ...). The Packages nautilus-cd-burner and Brasero 0.8.4 are not good friends (maybe different names on Archlinux). I have downgraded Brasero to the original Package (0.8.2) and all works fine again. Maybe it works on Archlinux too.
hope i can help you!
Sorry for my BAD english.

Greetings mar75

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

I removed brasero (it was 0.8.4) from my system and all is working perfectly once again!
Thanks for good advice mar75!
I suppose something is wrong with libnautilus-brasero-extension.so library.
Though, removing a package to fix bug isn't wise solution.
I installed brasero-no-gnome package form AUR. It is also 0.8.4. (BTW stable version is 0.8.2.) The no-gnome package works better... Nautilus still crashes but now (in case of my system) after 3 attempts starts again.
Such behaviour doesn't suit me.
May be it is good time to report bug to gnome team?

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

@mar75:
That was a nice suggestion big_smile.
After removing brasero, the nautilus-crashes while auto-mounting, were gone.
Very thanks my german-bro wink.

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

Thank you for your comments!

Can somebody write a bug report to the gnome/brasero team? My english is not good enough to discribe the problem!

I wish all a merry chrismas and a happy new year!

Peace! mar75

Re: nautilus crashes when USB device is plugged

It's fixed in brasero svn now...

Comment #1 from Philippe Rouquier    (brasero developer, points: 16)

Thanks for the report.
I recently fixed a problem when both brasero and nautilus-cd-burner nautilus
modules were installed side by side. They shared the same internal names which
caused problems. Could you retry and build SVN trunk this time to see if my
changes fixed the problem?
Thanks in advance.
