• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Brian C. Dilley 2005-03-09 10:17:49 UTC]

When trying to launch nautilus (or any application that is linked to the gnome-vfs libraries) i get the following error messages, and the app doesn't start:

[Comment 1 Brian C. Dilley 2005-03-10 10:50:25 UTC]

did an emerge -e gnome, still not working.

[Comment 2 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) 2005-03-17 15:54:32 UTC]

What version of gnome-vfs are you using?
What version of nautilus?

Also, if possible, please provide a backtrace from the process that encounters a segmentation fault.

[Comment 3 Nathaniel McCallum (RETIRED) 2005-05-27 19:57:28 UTC]

Closing due to lack of information and newer versions released that don't seem
to have any problem.  Brian, if you are still experiencing a problem, feel free
to reopen the bug.

[Comment 4 Brian C. Dilley 2005-05-27 21:52:21 UTC]

I never did figure out what was causing this.... eventually i rebuilt the
machine anyway (new hardware, figured what-the-heck).
