weird nautilus segfault

sgaap · Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2003 10:44 pm Post subject: weird nautilus segfault

nautilus 2.2.3
glibc 2.3.2-r1 (2.3.2/2.3.1 also but no luck either)

Nautilus used to work fine (glibc 2.3.2) as well on 2.4.20 (gaming sources) and 2.5.65 (development-sources)

Then one day it started segfaulting, with every user (so .gnome* or .gconf* dirs have naothing to do with it)

Rebuilding glibc doesnt work, nautilus keeps segfaulting

using gdb I get this output:

had you upgraded gnome-session?

You might try rebuilding nautilus if you did.

I rebuild nautilus also, I'll try rebuilding gnome-session then

Exactly the same thing happens to me. :cry:

I tested it with my development kernel and other (older) glibc versions and nautilus still segfaults (gnome-session rebuild didnt solve it)

The weirdest thing is that this version of nautilus worked fine with glibc 2.3.2 some days ago...

/me is very puzzeled

Hmm, I unprelinked my system and build glibc and nautilus again, prelinked everthing again after that but nautilus (2.2.2/2.2.3) still segfaults..

Maybe its some other app that causes nautilus to crash

(nautilus:6885): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

that error message is unrelated to the crash. I get it when I run nautilus as root (since I have no gnome-session running it cannot connect). Does strace give you anything helpful? You might also put inherit debug in your ebuild and rebuild nautilus.

I've unmerged all of gnome (and nautilus) but it still segfaults..

I will try strace later on ..

I love strace

Seemed nautilus didn't like supermount

Glad that helped you find the problem. Unfortunately I don't know supermount so I can't help there, but good luck.

If you haven't already done so, try commenting out sub-pixel rendering in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
