Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:Constant


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log-in
2.Click on nautilus from menu
3.Run nautilus from terminal window
  
Actual results:By menu nothing. From terminal after a while I get an (nautilus:2678): Unique-DBus-WARNING 


Expected results:Nautilus should startup.


Additional info:Full error:(nautilus:2678): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Also my Desktop folder is actually there, but no icons show up on it.

Comment 1 Scott Castaline 2009-12-28 19:35:34 UTC

Attempts made to resolve proble:

1. Downgraded MetaCity (one of the updates) with no change. Reverted back to 
   upgrade version.

2. Had found mention of upgrading Nautilus to testing version, so went ahead to
   upgrade along with all deps. No change.

3. Remembering that there were updates to SELinux Policies, disabled and then
   re-enabled SELinux. Set to force a relabel on reboot. Rebooted.

The 3rd item seemed to have resolved the issue. So far the desktop icons have returned. Nautilus is working and removable media is now getting auto-mounted as before.

I also had this problem on my system (even with SELinux disabled). I was able to resolve it by uninstalling the package gstreamer-plugins-bad.

Oh yes, so this is that well known issue again.
