Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Running Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron
Tried to install WIN XP sp2 as a VM using QEMULATOR. During attempt to
RUN that VM, terminal opened and stopped at FATAL etc. Terminal hung,
wouldn't accept any input from keyboard, & wouldn't close even using
Force Quit, then KILL.
Cold Restart. Launched Places, HOME FOLDER - Nautilus hung again.
Desktop icons disappear during & after screen flash when FORCE QUIT.
Same with KILL from System Monitor.
After either FORCE QUIT or KILL, then Nautilus window returns to the
desktop. Still hung, and same as above,
Cold started in ?repair? mode - it reported problems, but I couldn't
scroll up the screen to see those details. Advice given at visible part
of text: something about cannot repair etc . . . run apt-get update . .
. packages automatically installed that are no longer needed, run 'apt-
get autoremove' . . . then it listed about 10 program names.
Then I tried to uninstall nautilus from the ADD/REMOVE utility: It did
not list Nautilus - it did list some add-ons. I ADDED those and cold
start, again. Same problem sequence with Nautilus.
Nautilus does work in only one condition. I have a 'folder' on my
desktop - when I open that folder all appears to be normal - Except when
I click to any other listed directory ('Folder'), then the same hang
sequence happens. Normal functions including open files, close files,
exit Nautilus - BUT IF I CLICK ANY OF THE LISTED FOLDERS, then the same
sequence of problem is mine to behold!
I'd think I need to reinstall Nautilus? But am not sure how.
The entire problem sequence looks so very much a like WINDOWS hang, and
persistance instance, and desktop icons disappearing. Only way out is to
cold restart, and do NOT use Places etc to browse my files. Very Sad for
me - I need Windows ONLY to run my MAGICJACK Phones and CAD Programs
AUtoCAD & SolidWorks (QCAD sadly only saves files to .dxf).
Have not UNinstalled QEMULATOR, Qemu Llauncher, or QtEmu - although I've
used ONLY QEMULATOR. Only tried one install of WIN XP , and I did delete
its .iso image and its VM from within QEMULATOR. There are no othe VM
installed, etc.
Any other "file browser" program available to install would be fine for
me until this can be fixed.
Thank You!
