Essentially, Nautilus tends to crash on me while I’m dragging files around. Sometimes it’s a proper crash with a report and an option to send the info to Canonical*. Sometimes it just stops accepting new inputs and I have to kill the process. And sometimes, only one window of the program will stop working, while other open windows work normally. The error has been persistent through several updates, though I’m currently on 24.04.
The last time the program crashed it was titled, “nautilus crashed with SIGABRAT in g-assertion_message_expr()”. Which didn’t turn up useful info on google, or on this forum.
I’m running an older machine that may be the cause of the issue. A Dell Inc. XPS 13 9380, with a Intel® Core™ i7-8565U × 8 processor. The last time I came to the forums with this issue I was told it’s likely a laptop environment issue. This was on a different account, but the thread didn’t go anywhere anyway.
*note: I usually opt not to send the report because I dislike my computers sending random info packets to their origin companies. It’s part of why I use Linux.
PS. Sorry if I posted this to the wrong area. I’m not great with forums.
