[Bug 325973] Re: gnome-session keeps respawning nautilus when no desktop is drawed
Perhaps it is too late to matter since it looks like disabling autorestart just got merged in but... It seems to me that I was just now able to fix the problem by unchecking *both* show_desktop and exit_with_last_window in configuration editor (apps>nautilus>preferences). I have my 3D cube working, no spinner, and no nautilus windows open. Looking at my processes I see that I have a nicely cooperating nautilus process with an insignificant amount of CPU usage. The autorestart patch has not yet made it to my computer and I can still switch back and forth between proper behaviour and having the spinner and CPU hogging auto-restarts. So an alternative fix would be to alter configuration editor to either suggest or automatically uncheck exit_with_last_window if show_desktop is unchecked. Another approach would be to check and correct the settings in a startup script. -- gnome-session keeps respawning nautilus when no desktop is drawed 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

I turn the desktop off for several reasons: 1) I don't need desktop icons. 2) As others already mentioned the context-menu which nautilus offers is completely useless (I remember that there used to be an entry to start a terminal at least, that was in GNOME 2.18 or something). 3) There is no way to get to the openbox context menu when the desktop is enabled. 4) I don't really care about nautilus at all, I just like the gnome-panel and other GNOME related stuff and therefore still use the gnome-session, but with openbox as window manager. -- gnome-session keeps respawning nautilus when no desktop is drawed 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

The only reason why I turn off the nautilus desktop is that i don't like the desktop metaphor (whereas I like the Netbook Remix way for instance). All my files are managed through a proper Nautilus window with a navigation toolbar and sort & display options. Therefore i turn off the nautilus desktop to not have useless options like a contextual menu for creating folders on the desktop etc. Because i like consistency. I don't like having useless things.

@Sebastien: Ooh, excellent idea. Here's my story ;) I don't want nautilus to draw the desktop because it doesn't give me a useful desktop context menu, or even any way to create a useful desktop context menu. And if it's drawing the desktop, it won't allow any other software to give me a desktop menu. So I just turn show_desktop off, and run xfdesktop instead (which gives me a context menu I can customize any way I want).

I agree with Chris that a proper fix ought to be committed, rather than just another workaround. If nobody cares about the "show_desktop" option enough to fix it, maybe it should just be disabled (i.e. remove the gconf key, and just always show the desktop). Personally, losing this option would annoy me enough to make me finally dump the GNOME desktop altogether, but it's at least a solution, and it's better than just continuing to ship a broken Nautilus. The option is certainly useless in its currently broken state, so just disabling it shouldn't be much of a leap. -- gnome-session keeps respawning nautilus when no desktop is drawed 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

Nautilus is currently a required component of the GNOME session because it is needed for auto-mounting removable media. However, Nautilus is currently designed to exit when it has nothing left to do (such as when it is set to not draw the desktop), which contradicts the need for it to be a required desktop component and doesn't make much sense. So far, it doesn't seem like anyone here has come up with any proper solutions. Either Nautilus should be designed to never exit, even when it has nothing to do (such as drawing the desktop), or the media handling part of Nautilus should move to some other desktop component and Nautilus should not be a required component. Both ideas are non-trivial though, and require someone with the time and interest in working on it. You're more than welcome to make a contribution.

Better to use dpkg-divert to protect your modified nautilus.desktop than trying to use permissions. Here's the formula: $ sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert \ /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop.real \ /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop $ cp /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop.real \ /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop $ echo "AutostartCondition=GNOME /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop" \ >> /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop This will cause upgrades of nautilus to write to nautilus.desktop.real rather than overwriting your modified version.

[Bug 325973] Re: gnome-session keeps respawning nautilus when no desktop is drawed
I have a few questions: - this was patched in Ubuntu 9.04, any reason (other than time/manpower) why this isn't the case for 9.10 anymore? - is it harmful in any way to chmod 444 /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop? This is pretty much the only issue I've had with Ubuntu 9.10 so far that is "severe", if I did not have a core2quad, I would probably not have survived to ask about this :) -- gnome-session keeps respawning nautilus when no desktop is drawed 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

So Sebastien, We have all understood this is a well known bug and in fact I've landed here because i wanted to upgrade form 8.10 and read about. The problem is that despite this there seems to be no 100% workaround or patch. Does this daily iso fix mean that any delta upgrade from 8.10 will also automatically contain the fixed packages ? And is this "crash" fix solving the issues point in this thread or is a different bug as mentioned just above ?
