Vfolder bug. I thought we completely disabled vfolder editing? Reassigning to gnome-vfs. Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. applications:/// is no longer accepted in FC4, so I will close this bug as CURRENTRELEASE. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: Attempted to create a new folder in the applications menu by logging in as root, opening "applications:///" in nautilus and using the Create Folder menu option. Nautilus crashed, and no folder was generated. On next boot, the entire menu structure, including panel icons, was inaccessible to non-root users. A new user was created, and this new user also had no access. Bringing up the "Run application" menu caused gnome-panel to crash and restart. Root user had normal access. This might suggest some kind of permissions issue, as if all of the .desktop files were permissioned as inaccessible to non-root users by the Create Folder command (or the subsequent crash). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.6.0-4 How reproducible: Didn't try (as the only way I could solve this problem was to re-install Fedora, I have not attempted to reproduce for obvious reasons) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log on to GNOME as root 2. Open "applications:///" in nautilus 3. Select Create Folder Actual Results: Nautilus crashes, and the menu structure is removed from non-root users. Expected Results: Either a new applications category should be created in the menu structure (which was what I was attempting to achieve), or if this cannot be supported, the Create Folder option should be disabled or fail gracefully with an error message.
