Nautilus strace output
Very strange. Can you try working around this by temporarily moving ~/.nautilus, ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 out of the way? if that fixes it, try figuring out which directory was causing the problem and tar it up and attach here. As instructed I moved those three directories from my home directory but that did not fix the problem. Nautilus still crashes. However, now, I also have none of the default icons on my Gnome toolbar. The only items that appear now are the fedora, the workspace switcher, rhn checkmark, and clock. I have logged out and logged back in several times and was quite surprised to find that the default, or at least I thought they were default, toolbar items did not reappear. You moved the directories back? Yes. At first I only the .gnome directory back. When I logged into X, the Gnome toolbar entries were still missing as before, but instead of Nautilus immeidately crashing 8 times or so, it attempted to run once and crashed. Then for each time I clicked "Close" on the crash reporter, another instance of Nautilus ran and crashed again. This happened about 8 or 9 times, then it stopped attempting to run. During this time, I was able to obtain some information from Bug Buddy, however, when I attempted to click "Save", Bug Buddy then proceeded to crash as well, but I was able to copy/paste the information to a file and am attaching it. As for the other directories, when moving .gnome2 back, my toolbar icons returned and I still had the same problem with Nautilus and no debugging info. The same happened when I copied the .nautilus directory back as well. Created attachment 94601 [details]
Nautilus Bug Buddy information after returning .gnome directory
There is no debuginfo in that backtrace, could you install these packages and do it again: http://people.redhat.com/~alexl/RPMS/gnome-vfs2-debuginfo-2.2.2-4.i386.rpm http://people.redhat.com/~alexl/RPMS/nautilus-debuginfo-2.2.1-5.i386.rpm I installed the requested packages, logged out, and logged back in. The Bug Buddy output I'm attaching is as reported when only the .gnome directory was copied back. I attempted to obtain Bug Buddy output after copying .gnome, .gnome2, and .nautilus back, but it still simply reported "no debugging symbols". Created attachment 94625 [details]
Nautilus BugBuddy output after copying only the .gnome directory
Very very strange. The backtrace (of thread #1) is cut short, so you can't see what caused the crash. So, do we have anywhere to go from here, or is it time I reinstall? Should I go through the strace output and reinstall every library that I see listed? Do you think it would do any good? Does this happen for a new user? I created a new user and experienced the same problem. Bug Buddy displays "no debugging symbols found" for '/usr/bin/nautilus'. I then attempted the procedure of moving .gnome, .gnome2, and .nautilus from ~test and experienced the same problem, however, unlike my user, the test user account experienced nautilus crashing 8+ times no matter what directory I moved into the homedir, whereas nautilus would only crash one at a time after I clicked "Close" on the Crash Reporter after moving the .gnome directory back into my homedir, otherwise, it appears to be exactly the same for the test user. Then the problem seems to be with the installation in some way and not with the configuration files of the particular user. I don't have a good idea how to work around this. Well, I suppose I'll just have to reinstall then. Thanks for the assistance. |
