[Bug 325973] Re: Starting File Manager windows open uncontrollably
Hi Martin The autostart condition wasn't really successful because gnome-session still restarts it even when the condition isn't met. The real bug is that EggSMClient can't set the restartstyle hint after connecting to the session manager, which is how Nautilus used to work with GnomeClient in Intrepid. I discussed this briefly with Sebastien on IRC yesterday, and the suggestion was that we should probably just completely disable Autorestart for Nautilus in Jaunty (which is what people have already been doing in this bug report to work around the issue). -- Starting File Manager windows open uncontrollably https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 325973] Re: Starting File Manager windows open uncontrollably
This is the error message that appears in terminal if show_desktop is unchecked. It does not occur if show_desktop is checked. $ nautilus (nautilus:1307): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) $ ** Description changed: When show_desktop is disabled from gconf-editor (apps - nautilus - preferences, uncheck show_desktop), windows saying Starting File Manager replicate until the computer fails to respond. In the System Monitor, the nautilus process keeps opening and closing (presumably crashes and restarts). + + If show_desktop is unchecked, running nautilus in terminal yields the + following error message. If show_desktop is checked, nautilus opens and + no error messages are displayed. + + $ nautilus + + (nautilus:1307): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) + $ I think is it worthwhile to note that when I open my flashdrive, this problem does not happen. This problem occurs with the latest Jaunty updates, specifically nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.91-0ubuntu1, and originated with nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.4-0ubuntu1.

[Bug 325973] Re: Starting File Manager windows open uncontrollably
Since I am not sure when this bug will be fixed, I am providing (as is, with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY) a simple shell script that will downgrade nautilus, nautilus-data, and libnautilus-extension to version 1:2.25.3-0ubuntu2. It downloads the old binary versions of those packages from Launchpad (this will not work when Launchpad removes those files from disk), forces their downgrade, and attempts to fix any unmet dependencies. Extract the script.tar.gz file, and run (in terminal) script32.sh or script64.sh, for Ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit, respectively. Remember not to upgrade nautilus in the future until this bug is fixed. ** Attachment added: shell script downgrade fix (ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY) http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22763998/script.tar.gz -- Starting File Manager windows open uncontrollably https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 325973] Re: Starting File Manager windows open uncontrollably
could you stop commenting on this bug? the issue is well understood, it's due to the autorestart in the desktop file which trigger autorestarting from gnome-session when nautilus exit which it does immediatly when there is no background to draw and no dialog open which leads to the loop described there -- Starting File Manager windows open uncontrollably https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
