Nautilus Terminal causing Nautilus not to load

[David Riley]

After installing Nautilus Terminal after installing from the Fedora 16 repos, and downloading and installing from the website, Nautilus refuses to load. Checking the ABRT report after the crash reports: "unhandled python exception in Nautilus". This happens every time I attempt to open Nautilus, and the file manager resumes its normal behavior after uninstalling the extension.

I've attached abrt's environ, var_log_messages, dso_list, and maps data, if the core dump or any further information is needed just let me know, I was pretty excited to find this extension and have an terminal built in to nautilus rather than having to use my spawn terminal script, so I'll be more than glad to help.

I apoligize if this bug tracker is only for Ubuntu users, it was where the "Report Bugs" link on your webpage led. If this is a better place for me to report this bug in relation to Fedora, please let me know.

Had the same problem with Fedora 16 and Gnome 3 some time ago. Now I tried again and nautilus works again with the plugin installed, but the plugin doesn't work (no terminal is shown in the nautilus window). Maybe related to this bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744534 even though nautilus works now for me with nautilus-python version 1.0 and the terminal plugin installed.

My problem is pretty much exactly the same as the one in the bug you posted, starting nautilus from the terminal yields:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I also have nautilus-python 1.0 installed, but nautilus still will not start with the nautilus-terminal extension installed.

I updated nautilus-python to 1.1 and nautilus-terminal to final 1.0 and I still get :

I just tried again nautilus-terminal (my nautilus-python is still version 1.0!) and now nautilus starts without an error with the plugin installed. But now the plugin doesn't work anymore, can't see the terminal inside the nautilus window. Tried it with the version from Fedora 16 repository and with the version from your website. Same behavior for both versions. When starting nautilus from terminal no errors appear, so maybe it has nothing to do with nautilus-python version after all!

* nautilus-python update :
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/nautilus-python-1.1-1.fc16

* nautilus-terminal-update :
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/nautilus-terminal-1.0-1.fc16

Well, thats odd. Installe both packages on Fedora 16 64bit, yum says installation went fine with new versions are listed, but the terminal window still doesn't appear in nautilus after restart with "nautilus -q" (which normally worked for nautilusßterminal installation).

[Hicham HAOUARI (funnylife-ma)]

Sorry, it is my fault on Fedora

Yes, it works! Installed the new update of nautilus-python (still nautilus-terminal 1.0-1 installed) and now the nautilus-terminal plugin works all fine. Thanks a lot for the great work!
