Nautilus Never Works.

[Nostalgia]

I power on the machine, select FC2, and when the OS loads, Nautilus doesn't. Obviously i am using the 64-bit version of FC2, and this Nautilus problem is giving me headache after headache.

I have researched it via Google and other links given to me here on this forum. The problem is, i am not getting a clear answer, because apparently the fix is relative to how you have your partitions and such.

I can answer any question you have concerning how i have my HD's setup, but i am very new to Linux and could really use some step-by-step help.

what are you trying to do or what does not load?.....desktop, icons, etc..

I start the machine, and it says "Nautilus has quit unexpectedly" every single time i boot up. I think Nautilus is the file manager for GNOME or something, because i am unable to access files on my machine, as well as save them to certain locations.

I had that problem on a fresh installl of FC2 X86_64 but after doing a yum update of everything it went away.
A similar bug from Fedora Core test3 is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122087
Perhaps the workaround suggested there would help if you don't want to update yet.

Isn't this a GTK2 bug, I've the same prob with the latest galeon from dag, and while searching found people having nautilus probs as well.

The search goes on

Hey,
I've had a similar problem with nautilus, I managed to track it down to a problem with the VFS-daemon which didn't like the fact that my ntfs drive was auto mounted in fstab.
I resolved it by not mounting the drive in the fstab.
