Description of problem: If I use gnome, I can't use nautilus: it crashes on startup with the following error: "The applicatino nautils has quit unexpectly" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.0-4 How reproducible: I reinstalled the system two times, and I got two times the same error. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 2 for AMD64 with both KDE and Gnome 2. log in with default settings 3. nautils crashes Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Can confirm this (standard install). Started to happen on the second day (worked fine on day one) after install. Will look closer tomorrow.
Same problem here. It works OK sometimes but most of the time it just crashes. I don't know if this is connected ot not but Epiphany also crashes on startup.
Also having the same problem. Even tried upgrading to the Development version of Nautilus currently available which is 2.6.0- 5. Still having the same problem.
I have 2 cdrom drives, a floopy , a zip drive and a flash card reader. If I hold my entries in /fstab to any two of these Nautilus starts properly at login and the file browser works fine. If I add any other devices from this group Nautilus crashes on login and if ti is selected as that file browser. I have no idea why but thought it might help you to have the information
I also had the same problem, and can confirm that David's workaround works (disabling cdroms and floppies in /etc/fstab).
This happened for my system too as soon as I started up. I do have KDE and GNOME installed. I am also not sure if this issue is related to my monitor going black about 15 minutes into each session but I will get back on that [may have been monitor config]
Any news on fixing this. It is quite important as we still can't use GNOME because of it :(
doesnt seem to be related to my monitor but i do have 2 CDROM drives [CD-RW and DVD-RW]. Still havent fixed it
Same here. I also have 2 CD drives
i found that if I try to mount the second dev that fstab will hold and still allow Nautilus to work, it immediatley crashes Nuatilus. I have had to remove X86_64 FC2 from my system and go to i396 FC2 in order to use Fedora Core for normal work. I feel that this should be a high priority to be fixed. I don't know if this could be hardware specific but I have a AMD64-FX51 processer on an Asus SK8N mother board, 2gigs of memory, an Adaptec LV-2 scsi board, two 18 gig Segate drives, a 36 gig Segate drive, a Sony CRX320E cdrom/dvd, a Sony DRU500A dvd writer, Iomega 100meg ATAPI drive, and a San Disc USB Flash Card Reader, ATI 9800 Pro Radeon graphics board,and a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 sound card.
I forgot to mention that I did a clean istall of FC2 X86_64 with only Gnome leaving KDE uninstalled and the results were the same. Nautilus crashes with more than two devices listed in fstab.
I actually was getting fed up with this and decided to install i386 over x86_64 because when on my server, it had no problems. Unfortunatly, the same problem occurs yet much more limited. It does not happen as often but when it does I may be able to get back into X but only where the mouse moves and the screen is messed up with random color lines throughout the display. That is IF I CAN get back into it. I'm hoping this will be resolved soon.
I've got 2 cdrom drives, and Nautilus crashes if there are is a CD in both drives. Remove one CD and reboot and the problem goes away.
Same problem on my x86_64. Had to delete cdrom, zip, and floppy from fstab and updfstab.conf.default (to keep it from being re-entered in fstab).
This problem is caused by a memory alignment bug in ORBit2. I posted a quick fix for it over in GNOME bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138986
Can someone with sufficient privileges please push this over to ORBit2? There are also a bunch of dups: bug 126181 bug 122087 bug 122662 bug 123066 There's also an updated patch on the gnome bugzilla link above. It's a forward port from an old-ORBit patch created by Matt Wilson. It has a couple of additional related alignment fixes.
Is there any plan to release a rpm with the correction inculded?
Instructions for creating your own rpm (in the interim) can be found here: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3404 Just replace "ORBit2-2.10.0.1-cbl-nautilus-crasher-fix.patch" with whatever you name the patch file downloaded from the GNOME bug 138986. Also, remember to set $LIBRARY_PATH as described in the FedoraForum post.
I followed your instructions but when I applied the patch it kept asking for the file to patch, and then would reject the file I entered. I tried every file in the folder /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and it rejected them all. Is in another folder, and what is it named?
I'm not certain, but it sounds like a problem with your patch file. How did you download it? I recommend clicking on the attachment (so that it comes up in the browser) then do a right-click->"Save Page As...". If you did a cut and paste, its possible you Also, is it possible that you skipped the "tar -xvjf ORBit2-2.10.0.tar.bz2" step? The source tar ball has to be extracted first and you have to be in the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory. Either of these problems will give you an error saying "can't find the file to patch...". On the other hand, you may want to wait a day or two until anoncvs syncs up and get ORBit2-2.10.3 which includes the fix. I'll make another patch then and post it here complete with instructions (and changes to the spec file rather my previous untar-patch-retar ugliness).
OK I'm not quite sure what I did but the file I downloaded as the patch was definatly not the right one. I did it again and it worked just fine. I had clicked on the link but ended up with a 3.3 kb file instead of the 510 byte file I should have.
Created attachment 101452 [details] patched x86_64 ORBit2 rpm
for those who are having a problem with the path (which works wonderfully)... fwiw, the ORBit2 SRPM bails unless you uninstall the i386 version of popt temporarily. Not a big bug (I've had to do it with a number of other packages) but worth looking into.
This bug still exists in FC3T1 and was frustrating me to no end, the RPM from Thomas Walker appears to fix the problem but it would be nice to have an official fix in rawhide.
Created attachment 102065 [details] xxx.patch For those of you who are having trouble building with the patch, I've attached a patch file here that simplifies the process. This is basically the recently released ORBit2-2.10.3, which includes my fix. 1) Download the patch and name it xxx.patch 2) As root, copy xxx.patch to /usr/src/redhat 3) Install the ORBit2-2.10.0-2.src.rpm package from the Fedora installation CDs or DVD ("rpm -ivh ORBit2-2.10.0-2.src.rpm") 4) Execute the following commands (still as root): cd /usr/src/redhat patch -p1 <xxx.patch cd SPECS rpmbuild -bb ORBit2.spec rpm -Uvh ../RPMS/x86_64/ORBit2-2.10.3-0.x86_64.rpm This should work properly regardless of whether or not you have installed the i386 version of libpopt. I don't know what the hold-up is in putting this in rawhide or one of the FC3 test releases. It's been accepted by gnome and gentoo weeks ago.
Oh, and, when downloading the patch, right click and select "Save Link As...".
Thanks, Chris! Your solution worked like a charm.
There was an ORBit2 update for this.
