So when did this start?  Is it a new install?  It sounds to me as though you 
no longer own that directory tree.  Can you, in a konsole, run

ls -l /home/youruser ?

If so, paste a couple of lines from it here.

I have had similar (or the same) problem recently and was able to track 
it down to the ~/.gvfs directory.  After I was able to delete the .gvfs 
directory, my problem went away.  The ~/.gvfs directory has recreated 
itself and I still see the hang but the hang is not every time.  
Unfortunately, I forget exactly what I did to remove the ~/.gvfs; I 
think I ended up uninstalling gvfs, deleted the directory and 
reinstalled gvfs.


To find the problem directory, I opened up a command window and 
performed variations on ls a*.  All ls commands that did not include 
.gvfs completed fine while those that did hung.

Re: home/$user directory files

2009-09-11 Thread andy york

home/$user directory files problem is solved. It was a gvfs problem.

[QUOTE=yuhuntero;1263178]- Backup the file vfs-fuse-daemon as 
vfs-fuse-daemon.bak

- Make a new blank file vfs-fuse-daemon, and make it executable

Because the vfs-fuse-daemon is call from the code, we could not do any 
setting to disable it. But we can cheat it as do above. As I know the 
vfs-fuse-daemon is only need in limitd cases.[/QUOTE]


This worked like a charm. Had to do hard reboot however.

Thanks again to all who helped solve this problem and to all those who 
tried. I really did not want to re-install to fix it.

Andy - is it your thread on forum.kde.org, on the same subject?  If so, please 
make sure that you close that with an equally full explanation.  Thanks

home/$user directory files

2009-09-10 Thread andy york
I cannot see contents of home/user  search hangs... any ideas on how
to fix? Can however go to subdirectories using Places/Bookmarks.
Search doesn't work either.

Re: home/$user directory files

2009-09-10 Thread Derek Piazza


When I am having system issues, what I do is reproduce the error but at the 
same time tail -f the
system log file messages in a different window. Normally that will give you an
error.

If not, we will go from there :)

Not sure what you mean tail -f . I'm thinking it's a gvfs problem
maybe gconf or gconf-2 . It's over my head. Creating a new user
results in same problem. Hate to reinstall because of that only. Am
running Fedora 11 x64, all updates good.
Thanks.

Re: home/$user directory files

2009-09-10 Thread Derek Piazza


the command tail gives you the last 10 lines on any text file (or any other 
file for
that matter). When -f is added to the end of the command it gives you the last 
10 lines, and
streams the file until you press ctrl-z. It comes in handy when you are 
trying to
troubleshoot.

Are you using a GIU, like Gnome or KDE?
