Description of problem: Nautilus crashes at login and will not run when started manually, either. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version shipped w/FC2 (gnome-2.6). How reproducible: Log in. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC2 2. Boot system 3. Log-in (using Gnome for the desktop) Actual results: Nautilus crashes w/a dialog reporting so. The choices presented are to try to restart the app or generate a bug report for the "developers". However, I can only click on a "Restart Application" button and a "Cancel" button. There is no way provided to generate a "bug report". There is root window desktop, however the taskbar runs just fine. When I try to use a nautilus window (for file system surfing), it also fails in the same manner. Expected results: Nautilus in the root window. Nautilus as a file browsing window. Additional info: There is nothing in the logs to be of assistance.
I was able to get nautilus to produce this syslog message: Jul 12 01:24:40 valkyrie kernel: nautilus[2610]: segfault at 00000002fffffffe rip 0000003a82d2d22b rsp 0000007fbfffeba0 error 4 That is it. Only the one message each time I try to run it.

After further research, I found this in the upstream bugzilla for Gnome: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109799 However, as I started to edit the spec file for ORBit-0.5.17 to add this patch and try it, I found that it was already present. Therefore, this patch does NOT fix this bug (bugzilla.redhat.com #126181).
Created attachment 102198 [details] New SRPM with fix patch (2.10.0-3) This SRPM contains a patch (plus minor spec file clean-up) that fixes this bug.
Created attachment 102213 [details] ORBit2-2.10.0-aligned-access.patch Attaching actual patch here for reference
Upstream bug report: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138986 Lamont, thanks for tracking the patch down and testing it out - very helpful. I'll try and get an FC2 update out witht the fix soon.
Created attachment 102214 [details] ORBit2-2.10.0-aligned-access.patch Actual patch which was committed upstream - includes a union alignment fix too
ORBit2-2.10.0-4 has been pushed to FC2 updates with the fix. A mail should hit fedora-announce-list soon with the details. This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/ Oh, and 2.10.0-5 in rawhide has the fix too. Thanks Lamont
This seems to fix also bug #123066; at least for me. Thanks.
