Bug 101227 – nautilus will not start but uses 100% processor

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Joseph Wheaton 2005-08-03 10:33:16 UTC]

nautilus is refusing to show up.  In the process manager it starts up and begins
using 100% processor.  I have tried to kill and end the process to no avail. 
The only way to get it to stop is to reboot. It may just be the new version
because it never did this in the older version.  I have 2.10.1-r1.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Click on File browser

Actual Results:  
Thats all it takes to reproduce the problem.  Nautilus never shows up
graphically but shows up as a process.


Expected Results:  
came up in a browser window.

can't you kill it with

killall nautilus

or

killall -s SIGKILL

?
