Description of problem: With two floppy mechanisms attached, one "regular" and one USB, nautilus invariably crashes on a startup. A backtrace, without all "no symbols", attached. With two floppies /etc/fstab has the following lines in it: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/sda /mnt/floppy1 auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 When USB floppy is detached then the second line is removed from /etc/fstab and then nautilus can be started manually but not earlier. Reattaching USB floppy again is _not_ causing the last line to reappear (see Bug 122837) unless updfstab is run explicitely "by hand". Before the last action /dev/sda can be mounted by root and after it an icon "Floppy 2", which refers to "floppy1", does show up in "Computer" icons and clicking on it will get media mounted (provided there is no "bad" console ownership :-). There are no further trouble; only a startup after a login croaks. A nautilus crash looks the same regardless if a non-root user or root is trying to perform actions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.6.0-4 How reproducible: Always. Additional info: Reported on x86_64 as I do not have two floppies on my i386 test rig so I do not know if this reproducible there as well.
Created attachment 100167 [details] Resutls of starting nautilus with two floppies
After changing /etc/fstab entries into /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/sda /mnt/floppy1 auto noauto,user 0 0 the second line is not removed with unplugging a USB floppy, hence it is available again if replugged, but nautilus bombs out regardless if a device itself is present or absent.
I am slow today. From comment #2 it follows that a presence of absence of devices should be irrelevant and only a content of /etc/fstab matters. The bug seems to be indeed x86_64 specific. Putting two floppy entries in fstab, at least without a real hardware, does not faze nautilus on i386 and it shows up "Floppy" and "Floppy 2" under "Computer".
I talked with Michal and it seems that I may have the same problem with FC2. I have similar hardware. ASUS SK8V K8T800 Chipset. Opteron 142 2x512MB PC3200 ECC Reg Fedora Core 2 running of an 80Gig WDJD off the VIA SATA Controller The only difference is that I have 2 Optical Devices and Michal had the 2 Floppy Devices. I have a 12xDVD and a CDRW. Just like with Michal's problem, nautilus crashes at startup. I have a trace on my system at home but I won't be able to access it until tonight at which time I will attach it.
Created attachment 100651 [details] This is the bug report bug buddy created including a trace.
An update to ORBit2 which fixes bug #126181 apears to solve that issue as well. It would be good to hear what Mark has to say on the matter. With two floppies active and mounted somewhat humorous labels show up in a Nautilus window. Namely "Floppy: floppy" and "Floppy 2: floppy1". Likely I can find people which will be confused by that. Otherwise both floppies work so far.
Yeah, looking at the trace it would make sense that this is the same alignment issue. Thanks Michal *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 126181 ***
I did test this and it seems to fix the problem with 2 CDROMs in nautilus. Though my regular user still can't log into gnome. :(
