From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: Hello, I'm using Fedora Core 2 test 2 with the Gnome desktop (all packages installed). When I create a new user, log as this user and clicked on "System Settings" from "Start Here", I got the below error dialog: The action associated with "system-settings" is invalid. See http://michaelo.free.fr/issues/mar30_2004/system_settings.png for a screen capture containing the full error message. This can be fixed by copying the ~/.nautilus/metafiles/system-settings\:%2F%2F%2F.xml file from another user account where this file exists. Here are its contents: <?xml version="1.0"?> <directory><file name="." window_geometry="700x555+821+527" window_scroll_position="system-settings:///Graphics"/><file name="Server" window_geometry="500x300+925+37" window_scroll_position="system-settings:///Server/Graphics"/></directory> It seems that this file should automatically be created when the Gnome desktop is run for the first time. I also faced the same error with another user, but this time with the "Preferences" shortcut. "System Settings" was fine if I remember well. I had this issue too with my main user account, but it disappeared after some time (can't list the many things I did in between). So, I can't tell exactly under which circumstances this bug happens. I hope other testers can help to locate the cause of this bug. Cheers, Michael. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.5.91-2 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new user account 2. Open a Gnome session with this new account 3. Go to "System Settings" in "Start Here" Additional info:
I get this problem with just the Preferences item in start-here.
Its very strange that adding the metadata file fixed this. That file only stores data about the position of icons, window size and other pretty unimportant things. It should not even be used to figure out the associated action with something. How did the system-settings\:%2F%2F%2F.xml look that it didn't work with? Or was there none?
bug 119536 looks related.
Hi Alexander, Thank you for investigating this! There was none (no system-settings\:%2F%2F%2F.xml file). Cheers, Michael.

I can confirm the same problem happening for sftp:// and ssh:// server mounts using the file->connect to server drop down. Nautilus does attempt to connect to the server (can be seen from the other machines syslog). I also have been able to reproduce this bug trying to access http:// links on the desktop created by dragging from galeon. I've created a gnome bugzilla entry for this bug as well: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139263
This is very similar to a problem I have on my Test 2 install. I get that message when trying to browse windows shares from my testbox. I can access the computers fine but when trying to descend into a shared folder I get the "no action associated" message. http://varkk.orcon.net.nz/N_Error.png There is a shot of it.
Everyone who has this problem, please upgrade to gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-5 and nautilus-2.6.0-4 and tell me what happens with that.
I have gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-5 and nautilus-2.6.0-4 installed and still have the problem.
I updated to the mentioned versions of gnome-vfs2 and nautilus, and still get the "action associated with <whatever> is invalid" The easiest way for me to reproduce the problem is to double click on the Floppy or CD-ROM icons on my desktop. It fails 100 percent of the time.
Checked that this still happens with FC2 T3
Changing version to test3
This should be fixed for system-settings:// and the other vfolders in gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-8.
I'm running gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-8 and nautilus-2.6.0-4 and am still seeing this problem when double-clicking on SMB shares. Typing in the full address (smb://computername/sharename) manually works fine though. Also, as of recently, "Windows Network" no longer displays any available LAN computers. Though that's probably not related.
Please ask the mailing list to see if anybody else can reproduce the Windows Network problem.
I'm not longer facing the original issue I reported with FC2 final... You may close this bug if everyone agrees. Cheers, Michael.
Just wanted to mention that I still am seeing this issue with the current FC rawhide. gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-9 and nautilus-2.6.0-6. However, the Windows Network problem (below) seems to have been fixed. > Also, as of recently, "Windows Network" no longer displays any > available LAN computers. Though that's probably not related.
I think i finally fixed this in gnome-vfs cvs. The fix will be in rawhide when next i update the package.
Marking fixed in rawhide as per comment #22.
