Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573929

This bug is maybe related to the bug #339993.

This is still a problem in 9.04 Jaunty Beta.

This failure of Nautilus to start makes it difficult to configure 9.04
to run well in a VMware virtual machine, since the VMware Tools CDROM ISO
image can't be attached without causing a Nautilus crash loop that fills
the task bar. You have to SIGSTOP Nautilus, mount the CDROM ISO file
manually, install VMware tools, unmount the ISO, then SIGCONT Nautilus.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/344371

I would change the importance of this Bug to high, because how likes to install an OS which doesn't´t even start well in VMware??? Souch a problem in a Live-Mode, which shoud show the users a good Ubuntu isn´t realy.... useful;-)
In my way of thinking that´s an absolut no-go!

that's not a nautilus bug

May the reporters/subscribers update to brasero 2.26.0-0ubuntu2 and see if that's still an issue? please comment back, thanks.

I believe I have the version 2.26.0-0ubuntu2 installed, submitted Bug #353150 that was marked as duplicate. Does that count?

Yes, the multiple-nautilus-failure loop is now fixed for VMware now. Jaunty Beta with:

brasero 2.26.0-0ubuntu2

Thank you for the fix.

Yes, thanks you both for the quick feedback. Upstream has provided a patch which is available here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=131859&action=view which would fix the issue.

Current Daily (2. April 09) works fine in live Mode;-)

a fix was already applied to the stable branch of brasero (and also trunk) which is available here: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/brasero/branches/gnome-2-26/

Ok., but when it will be Fix Released (not sources but deb packages or diffs)? I have version brasero 2.26.0-0ubuntu3 and it is a big problem...

The Fix is already existing. You can Download the current Build of Ubuntu there:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
This Version should work fine.

No Nio, there was a few bugs in this. The daily-build version (2009-04-08) does not fix this for me:(

luk1don why did you closed the bug without giving a reason? Please do not do it again.

Sorry Pedro:) It was not have to be...

shouldn't this have been fixed before the final release? It seems pretty weird that it wasn't.

Accepted brasero into jaunty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

So far, things are looking good here. Nautilus desktop icons no longer
disappear when mounting a cdrom or dvd, and I was able to burn an iso
image using the revised brasero (2.26.1-0ubuntu1).

Thanks!

Steve

Hello,
I am experiencing this bug even with Jaunty final release. I installed it fresh on my desktop (not an upgrade from Intrepid). When I insert a movie DVD, I can play it with VLC so I guess the mounting part works okay. But when I insert a blank CD to write stuff on to it and click either on 'CD/DVD Creator' or 'Brasero', all desktop icons disappear! Brasero does not start. Right-click menu does not appear on desktop (it works okay when I am in a different program like Firefox). I installed all the updates...so this fix is yet to be put into updates?

UPDATE: I just checked if this is an issue with only CDs and not DVDs and it turns out that it actually is an issue with mounting CDs as mentioned above! When I insert an audio CD, all desktop icons disappear and the computer behaves much like it did earlier.

Deeply, deeply frustrating to insert a CD-R, get ready to right-click and burn to CD like I've done for months with 8.10 Intrepid, and suddenly see Nautilus crash, especially considering that Brasero is a feature that is flaunted in the beta upgrade documentation: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/beta#GNOME%202.26

I ended up doing an "apt-get install nautilus-cd-burner" to revert to the old burner tool. I'll try switching to Brasero with "apt-get install brasero libbrasero-media0 sound-juicer" in a few days, but this type of introduction to Brasero makes me very disappointed.

Try as i would i could not replicate this bug. Does not mean it doesnt exist, i could not
reproduce.

I tried nautilus open, no blank cd when selecting burn button, you name i tried everything
I was only trying to make a data cd and it worked every time.

However, I took note of the actions that occur when Burn is pressed and when a CD (blank or otherwise)
is inserted and its possible that the problem may be in the software that detects that a CD rom has been
inserted or exists etc.

I should mention that I performed my tests with the Final Release of Ubuntu 9.04 with all the updates
avail as of 10:30P EDST on 4/30/09

This bug certainly exists for me, even after doing two fresh installs of Jaunty. (Check bug #369886)

Is there a temporary workaround for this. I don't really use Brasero, so can I remove it or something, to get the CDs working as they used to?

Yes, you can.

sudo apt-get remove --purge brasero libbrasero-media0

Or simply
    sudo chmod a-r /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-brasero-extension.so [1]

[1] http://blog.ibeentoubuntu.com/2009/04/awful-nautilus-brasero-bug-in-jaunty.html

Thanks, luk1don. That worked. I needed to reboot the computer, though.

Deang Bo, thanks to you, too, but I saw your post a little late. It seems simpler just to deactivate the app., rather than remove it completely.

No, please don't do that. That is not a supported workaround. Please
rather install the fixed package in jaunty-proposed, following the
instructions above, or just wait for the update.

Chris,

What is the problem with disabling the extension, waiting for the update, then re-enabling it? How is removing the package and reinstalling later a better solution?

This bug was fixed in the package brasero - 2.26.1-0ubuntu1

I have brasero 2.26.1 and I'm still getting crashes in nautilus when inserting cd/dvd media. It doesn't seem to happen every time, maybe once every 2 or 3 times.

Daniel, please open a new bug with apport about it, it could not be due to this bug. Thanks.
