Moving ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata to *_OLD worked. Following is problem I was having:
Ubuntu 9.10 Linux 2.6.31-20-generic Gnome 2.28.1 Compiz 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu2.1 Nautilus 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 EXPECTED: Launch of File Manager (trash can, and desktop). ACTUAL: File Manager shows wait pointer for awhile, but then disappears; trash can shows 'maximize' framing animation, but no content; desktop not showing files stored in Desktop directory. DIAG: This began when I used Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager to change open window animation from Glide 2 to Glide 3 which froze desktop basically when any window was opened [resolved by setting appearance visual effects to None]. To address this problem, renamed following files to _OLD extension and restarting. Didn't make any apparent change. ~/.cache/compizconfig ~/.compiz ~/.config/compiz ~/.gconf/apps/compiz ~/.gconf/apps/compizconfig When I try to launch the File Manager or my Recycle Bin - the kern.log, syslog, and messages log update with these lines: Feb 13 00:24:53 TOBY kernel: [10417.224943] nautilus[8957]: segfault at b6e47fdc ip 06bf5760 sp b6e47fe0 error 6 in libgvfsdbus.so[6bd9000+24000] Feb 13 00:25:27 TOBY kernel: [10451.208646] nautilus[8963]: segfault at b6ed5fdc ip 00748760 sp b6ed5fe0 error 6 in libgvfsdbus.so[72c000+24000] Feb 13 00:25:46 TOBY kernel: [10469.660972] nautilus[8970]: segfault at b6ddcfdc ip 00ccf760 sp b6ddcfe0 error 6 in libgvfsdbus.so[cb3000+24000] Feb 13 00:25:59 TOBY kernel: [10482.795663] nautilus[8978]: segfault at b6ef6fdc ip 00f16760 sp b6ef6fe0 error 6 in libgvfsdbus.so[efa000+24000] I am assuming one suggestion may be to reinstall libgvfsdbus.so and anything that says Nautilus. That sounds rather core and dangerous. [Someone did suggest I reinstall all Nautilus and then Dbus if needed. But before I did that, I deleted ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata as suggested here and it works] -- nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV after connecting USB hard drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
