Public bug reported: if i want to enable desktop effects, nautilus can't draw the desktop anymore. windows of open applications behave the way they should, even right-clicking the desktop works. though the desktop isn't responding to new files/folders - no repaint. left-clicking the desktop freezes the whole system.
on only ONE occasion gnome showed the error message: "Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem." doing so, doesn't do any good, results in a completely garbeld/mixed up screen. this happens in latest jaunty AND in intrepid, all updates applied. also, if desktop effects are enable, logs show: bonobo-activation-server : could not associate with desktop session as in bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bonobo/+bug/293970 kernel: Linux 2.6.28-8-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 25 04:27:53 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8200 (rev a2) ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- crash (can't draw desktop) if desktop effects are enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
