nautilus-2.22.5.1-r1 hangs at startup of Gnome
Last modified: 2009-06-03 21:30:53 UTC
Please describe the problem: Sometimes (most often) nautilus hangs at the startup of Gnome. It is started as I can see in console: az@acompneu ~ $ ps ax | grep nautilus 9644 ? Sl 0:00 nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nautilus-OCLyrO/ --sm-client-id 117f000001000110917070900000051010001 --screen 0 --no-default-window But it just does not appear, e.g. the desktop is not shown (stays gray, doesn't shown the icons and also does not show my background image). gnome-panel is loading fine and I can also start new instances of nautilus which also will work fine. And also if I kill the initial nautilus, it will restart it and then the desktop is shown correctly. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start Gnome. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: I am using Gentoo and I reported already the bug at Gentoo here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258883 You will find there additional information like GDB backtrace and some strace output.
2.22.5 is history and nobody works on 2.22 anymore
This is very likely a Gentoo or a configuration bug, and as Andre said, 2.22 is OBSOLETE, closing.
