Sorry,

I've nominated this for Karmic even if I'm not a release manager. I'm a beginner in Launchpad...

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thanks for the report, no worries I've rejected the nomination that's not a blocker for Karmic, could you check if dbus is running? do you get that message only while using the "Computer" menu? does the other work ok? it's the same application that handle those so they should work fine. please also attach your ~/.xsession-errors file to the report, thanks.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Confirming, just updated the machine and I'm getting exactly the same behavior, this is also reproducible while executing gvfs-open computer:///

[silviubogan (silviubogan)]

The other menus are working. I attached the ~/.xsession-errors file. I think dbus is working because when I run "ps -u silviu" I get:

4764 ? 00:00:00 dbus-launch
4765 ? 00:00:00 dbus-daemon

When I run Nautilus as root from terminal and I click the "Computer" toolbar button I get another error. I atached it. Just when I close Nautilus, in terminal appears:

--------------------
silviu@silviu-desktop:~$ sudo nautilus

--- Hash table keys for warning below:
--> file:///root
--> file:///

(nautilus:5324): Eel-WARNING **: "nautilus-metafile.c: metafiles" hash table still has 2 elements at quit time (keys above)

(nautilus:5324): Eel-WARNING **: "nautilus-directory.c: directories" hash table still has 2 elements at quit time
--------------------

When I run nautilus from terminal, as a normal user, it doesn't give me the above WARNINGs.

could you run /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-computer and see if it's crashing?

[silviubogan (silviubogan)]

If I run "/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-computer" as a normal user I get a segfault ("Segmentation fault") but if I run this as root I get a prompt where I can enter text forever, no output.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you get a stacktrace? seems similar to bug #387036

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Right, the gvfsd-computer crashes, I've got an backtrace and it matches bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582772 which is already tracked on bug 387036, marking this as dup, thanks.
