Description Raphael Mankin 2004-05-10 18:33:02 UTC 
Description of Problem:


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. startx
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:
X starts, but not all the configured programs start.
Nuatilus just says 'fatal error (aborted)'
Nothing in any log file that I can find. Last time
I booted the m/c it was fine, this time nautilus
crashes in each of two different users. I have
tried doing a clean logout from Gnome and
restarting; I hvae tried removing ~/.nautilus and
restarting Gnome. There is plenty of file system
space.

Expected Results:


How often does this happen? 
Every time.

Additional Information:

Sorry. I have absolutely no useful information at
rpesent.

Running nautilus in an xterm gives me 
file nautilus-directory.c line 546 (add_to_hash_table) assertion failed ....
Comment 2 Raphael Mankin 2004-05-12 20:54:41 UTC 
Further fiddling around suggests a possible cause.

'mount' was showing some SMB files systems as duplicated in the mount table.
Unmounting all of these (twice, to clear the table) enabled nautilus to start.

So, this looks like another inadequate consistency checking problem rather than
a real 6-leggedy bad programming bug.
