Nautilus Crash

8 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/nautilus-crash.85298/

While adding media files to playlist,that is opening folders containing music and adding them,Nautilus crashes.
Then it starts showing,"cannot display contents of this folder" for any folder i try to open.
Even the menus get a different type of icons and all files icons change and become unaccessable.Have to restart to fix it.
I think it is a bug in nautilus.

Is there any workaround..didnt find any.Also please suggest some alternative to nautilus as this is a really bad bug.

Thunar is a good file manager.
with latest Gnome versions,Nautilus is pretty stable for me

Mine does not crash either, and I have my audio previews turned on. What version of Nautilus are you using?

Thunar is very good, and eats way less memory compared Nautilus.

Nautilus 2.20 with Gutsy Gibbon.
Many people have reported this bug at launchpad.net.

well,wait for a week or so,hardy is just waiting !

Looks like a bad install of the distro. I had similar issues when I installed fedora under a bad RAM stick.

no issues with RAM as far as I know..btw they have closed that bug because it has not been verified.
