Nautilus does not work after PREUPGRADE to F12 from F11

[arcticcorey]

Hello,

I did preupgrade and no i have no desktop icons and my right mouse button does not give menu on desktop and if i try to launch nautilus i get this error ->

corey@coreyhome:~$ nautilus

(nautilus:20177): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

corey@coreyhome:~$


i noticed that my %gconf.xml in .gconf/gnome/desktop was zero bytes and since i replaced it now i get a picture on my desktop. before i did not get a picture.

my .xsession-errors has 1000+ of this
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')

if i grep -v out these errors i get

i have had very little luck googling around other than seeing reports of others with this issue but no resolutions.

It sounds like your upgrade wasn't 100% successful ( you have leftovers from F11) .

For this problem was due to broken gstreamer

nautilus starts up and loads brasero-nautilus, this uses the brasero library and tries to initialize gstreamer. To test this try running totem (or brasero) and see if they come up. For me they get stuck as well.

I fixed this by uninstalling gstreamer-plugins-ugly and gstreamer-plugins-bad (both from rpmfusion).

I've not yet figured out which package is responsible and, to be honest, I'll probably just listen to .ogg rips for a week or two before trying again.

package-cleanup i had done already and fixed the issues it gave = vnc issue needing libssl.so.8 (make a hardlink to libssl.s0.10 fixes it) VirtualBOX OSE not being kmoded yet. also there are no package-cleanup dupes.

merlin
you are semi-correct with the gstreamer-libs = i removed the gstreamer libs and now i am getting ORBit issues.

Hi -
I found this thread through a google search - I am also having this issue on a fresh install of Fedora 12; see this post.
I was also able to trace the problem to gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-plugins-ugly - or at least make the problem go away by removing those packages.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Should it be reported as a bug, or is there some reason everyone isn't reporting the same issue?

cheers

adpads ->

i gave up trying to resolve all my preupgrade issues and did a fresh install and like you i had same issue with fresh install, then the next day a set of patches came down and fixed everything (from the fresh install issues) and i do now seem to have a fully functional F12 install working nicely.

so i suggest you do fresh install again, boot immediately into text and do a yum update.

[adpads]

Hi - thanks for your help.
This is already a fresh and updated install - and I don't have the time to reinstall all over again - but if a patch is going to come down later maybe I'll wait for that..
For the moment I've found that gstreamer-plugins-ugly works OK, and it's only gstreamer-plugins-bad that seems to be causing the problem. In the meanwhile I've got all the other codecs working fine on my system, so I think I may be able to get by without it until this kink works itself out.
Nonetheless I'll report the bug if you guys concur there is still something there to be fixed?

adpads ->
like i said after fresh install with updates i seem to be happy with my F12. todays updates cleared up the last issues I seem to have and now I have F12 with adour and jack and pulse running with even less issues than my F11 install was

all the gstreamers are fine (for me) after update a couple days ago.

[luiscar2001]

Removing gstreamer-plugins-ugly and gstreamer-plugins-bad also worked for me. Nautilus was not working and I could not see any icons in the desktop. Now it's ok.

[austinacton]

Same problem and successful workaround here on a F11->F12 via yum box. Clean install of F12 on another box has not such problem. Would love to know a permanent solution.

[adpads]

after I ran the Autoten autoinstaller program, gstreamer-plugins-bad seems to be installed and working fine, and there are no more problems with these applications. Autoten must have installed something gstreamer-plugins-bad needs which I had been missing before. I wish I could say more specifically which package made the difference.

yum erase selinux* solves just about every error
Suddenly i have no .xsession-error file .....
I had it ....
when selinux prevents selinux to change anything in selinux .... even when i try to disable it !
selinux is a virus .... unless i stick with a default Fedora setup/install ...
(who does ?)

Waiting for minutes for "Appearance" GUI to show up ...
Waiting for minutes for "Firewall" GUI to show up ... / just hangs
etc.

Its all gone now, without selinux ....

plz dont flame me
I'm on a single computer behind 2 hardware firewalls/router and dont download weird unknown stuff etc. so i see selinux as overkill, since it acts like a virus to me ...
I know it can be done, but why should i use days to learn about something that i really dont need to know anything about ?
(just 1 app of thousands)

[nphilipp]

Disabling SELinux is a bad idea (usually). Most SELinux problems I encounter are due to badly labeled files (botched updates, running with SELinux disabled . You can relabel your filesystem this way (you would need to reenable SELinux beforehands).

touch /.autorelabel
reboot

[Abdelrhaman84]

Hi..

1. Disable SELinux by

sed -ie 's/enforcing/disabled/g' /etc/sysconfig/selinux

2. Remove the gstreamer-plugins-bad RPMs [installed from RPM Fusion Repo]

yum remove  gstreamer-plugins-bad*

3. Install gstreamer-plugins-ugly RPM

yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly

4. Reboot your system

reboot

4. Wait for the updated/fixed gstreamer-plugins-bad RPMs from RPM fusion Repo.
