[SOLVED] Nautilus restarting when I access places such as computer

Lyude · 2010-12-31 04:18:34

Alright, so all of a sudden (it MAY have been an update, I didn't keep track) nautilus has been acting u). Whenever I access special folders, such as FTP fileshares, Computer, Trash, etc. Nautilus closes and restarts. I have tried to debug this from a terminal, but nautilus just forks into the background. I have checked the man page and found no debug switch or the like. I have tried compiling nautilus from source along with the essentials (rebooting and such) but nothing has worked so far. I have also tried deleting ~/.nautilus.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Something similar happened to me (well, using Nautilus-elementary) after messing around with themes and other stuff like source code modding. Someone from the IRC channel suggested I run pacman -Rns nautilus (using sudo, obviously) to uninstall it completely and delete these folders:

~/.nautilus (empty for me)
~/.config/nautilus (empty for me)
~/.gconf/apps/nautilus

Then I reinstalled Nautilus and everything was back to normal again. I did, however, had to go to Preferences - Tweaks and check the breadcrumbs back and a few other settings. So next time you could go to the IRC channel and ask if there are other configuration files for the package if reinstalling it doesn't do the trick.

Followed DSpider's suggestion.
This didn't fix the above mentioned issues for me.

I also have a huge lag issue (+100% on one CPU) when attempting to browse /user/share.

This problem is present on only one of two nearly identical Arch 64-bit Gnome installs on the same computer.
Both systems are current regarding updates.

FWIW I ran into this issue when messing with Fedora 14 at one point, so I think it may be upstream.

Found a bug report filed for this.

Downgrading nautilus-actions to version 3.0.3 fixed all except the lag and 100% CPU utilization.

Yeah it's definitely the new version nautilus-actions. Yesterday I could access samba shares on my network with no problems, and this morning when I booted, nautilus would crash every time I clicked on Network, or my bookmarked locations. I downgraded natilus-actions to the 3.0.3 version, rebooted, and its browsing network shares just fine again.

it should be fixed in 3.0.4-2

Beelzebud · 2011-01-01 20:55:09

Nice work! I'll go ahead and install the new revision.

Lyude · 2011-01-02 23:27:03

Yep, update defiantly fixes it
