Hi.
I had a problem a few weaks ago.
My system suddenly started to crash all programs, at the point that i had to restart.
Then it refused to boot properly saying that the filesystem was corrupt and that fsck.xxxx --rebuild-tree would fix the problem.
I did that.
It counts 3 steps.
“0” was ok, then “1” complains about something not done in “0”. Runned the tool a couple of times more before finding in internet that it could be a memory problem.
It was.
One of my memories was slightly broken.
I have now changed it, but the filesystem table needed to be rebuildt.
No problem with that. --rebuild-tree complains with no error, but now i can not access mostly anything from nautilus without a crash.
This is what happens:
Double clic on Network icon = crash
Double clic on Computer icon = crash
Double clic on Trash icon = crash
Delete something = Completely loose that (no trash)
running nautilus from console shows output only when run as root, not as a user, and doesnt crash.
nautilus --no-desktop

And prints an error message dialog without crashing:
Could not display “network:///”.
Nautilus cannot handle “network” locations.
The folder contents could not be displayed.
Sorry, could not display all the contents of “trash”: Operation not supported
GNOME nautilus 2.27.1
Tryed with 2.24 too.
I have also found this old bug:
Bug 523039 - nautilus can’t access to trash/computer/network if gvfs isn’t installed in the same prefix as glib (glib)
But the solution mentioned there about the place of gvfs modules is not the problem here.
The bug is associated with some problem to handle protocols with nautilus, like smb:\ computer:\, network:\, trash:\, etc…
And this is somehow related to gvfs.
I have downgraded gvfs and again upgraded. no success.
Downgraded gconf2 and then gdm doesnt starts any more. so upgraded again.
I am out of clue of where is the problem.
It seams to be started with the broken memory and the fsck.xxxx --rebuild-tree
I hope that someone have a clue for me, because i dont want to format all my PC again.
cheers
