From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Whenever I start GNOME, the startup sequence goes fine, and I see the deskop, but none of the icons appear. I then checked my running processes, and saw that nautilus was running, but refused even "kill -9" directives to die! Subsequent attempts to start nautilus were also frozen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login using GNOME as the desktop manager 2. Wait until the toolbar appears, so you know that GNOME has loaded 3. Start a terminal and run "ps aux | grep nautilus" to confirm that nautilus is running, but not responding Actual Results: nautilus is confirmed to be running, but the desktop is barren of icons, and does not respond to left- or right-clicking. Expected Results: GNOME and nautilus should come up normally Additional info: This is a new install - no customization was performed on the system.
are you using NFS or AFS? are there any messages from sgi_fam service in /var/log/messages? can you strace the nautilus?
Well golly, it's working now. Never mind!
