my firefox doesn't like gnome-vfs

Ok, I'm not sure where to start looking for this:

with just firefox loaded, everything works fine. The other day I decided to try out evince, which requires gnome-vfs (I knew about this problem before) so I installed it. Immediately I tried firefox to see if it hung, and, yes, it did.

gnome-vfs causes firefox to hang whenever it should popup a little filesystem box. evince works correctly, so I don't think it's gnome-vfs itself, but the way firefox and gnome-vfs work together....

When I get time, I'm going to recompile firefox w/o gnome-vfs support....

hmmm it appears that gnome-vfs is already disabled in the arch package...it still causes issues though... uninstalling it made everything work... wtf?

Bump!

That fixed it for me too. I was scared to surf sites where I had to download something. I hope I recover soon. :-)

BR,

yeah, I wish I could figure out the fix... i'd like to install gnome-vfs for some things like evince... but I can't... *sigh*

I have gnome-vfs installed and Firefox works fine. :shock:

hmm shadowhand... my / partition is reiserfs... what's yours?

I'm just trying to think of things that would cause gnome-vfs errors....

wait a sec... it's not gnome-vfs... it's actually libgnome
hrmmmmm

I just tried "pacman -S gnome-vfs" and everything worked... so Is tarted going through all the dependancies of evince until I found libgnome as the culprit...

crap

I have libgnome installed too. Root and /home partitions are reiserFS, and /boot is ext3.
