Ubuntu :: Processes Keep Respawning - Nautilus Will Not Work?
May 13, 2010
Just installed 10.04. I tried to put a trash bin on my desktop, and it completely borked my system.
I did a ctrl-F2, gconf-editor, app->nautilus->desktop, and checked trashbin visible.
After that icons kept spawning in my panel. Nautilus will start. I lost all of the icons from my desktop. I have logging out, and resetting the trashbin visibility. Nothing seems to fix the problem.
Installing 11.2 from KDE LiveCD on an IBM ThinkCenter with 3.2Gb CPU and 1Gb RAM. Ubuntu 9.04 on first two partitions. I go through the configuration, click to 'install': Install display bars remain blank. After 2-3 minutes, black screen with scroll of attempted installation pieces and the error message: "Respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 min." Freeze.
Other posts mention problem with init. But this is happening with the install so not able to address that. No apparent md5chksum for LiveCDs. No mention of this problem in installation help guide. Does anyone know how to deal with this? If you need more info, I will provide. Though it seems this is not an unusual problem when booting an installed system, there's no mention of it happening during installation.
I attempted to install Nautilus Elementary...the results were not what I expected however. First of all, it doesn't seem to even have installed correctly, but thats not the main issue...after installing, Nautilus looks like this...
I run Freenet occasionally, but not all the time. Freenet doesn't run unless told to, but Java loads on every boot and sits there and hogs resources for no reason whatsoever. What's worse, as soon as I kill it with fire (sudo kill -9 "PID"), it respawns within seconds. How do I make Java not load unless required? And die and stay dead when I want it dead?
I installed openshot and afterwards nautilus started crashing. dmesg is showing "nautilus[3008]: segfault at 7fbc64a45ff8 ip 00007fbc6c83070d sp 00007fbc64a45ff0 error 6 in libc-2.10.1.so[7fbc6c75f000+166000]"
I followed this article (german) to install a full text search script to nautlius:[URL].. I downloaded the script, put it into /usr/share/nautilus, enabled it with the script manager and made id executable.In nautlius I still do not see any menu entry.
Two screenshots are attached. On my laptop (a Toshiba Satellite A105) when I open nautilus as root the window that opens is screwed up. If I type [code] "gksudo nautilus" at a terminal prompt, screenshot-1 is what I see. Screenshot-1.png
The title bar has the word "root" instead of "root - File Browser" as it should be. There is no main toolbar, location bar, and no side bar. The next line beneath the title bar shows File, Edit, View, Places, Help instead of File, Edit, View, Go, Bookmarks, Help. If I click on View there are no checkboxes for Main Toolbar, Side Pane, Location Bar, and Status Bar. If I click on anything and then slightly move my mouse the nautilus window immediately closes. Therefore, I can't use nautilus at all to do anything.
This strange behavior only happens when I open nautilus as root. If I open nautilus normally, there are no problems. Screenshot-2 shows the window that opens if I run nautilus as root on my desktop computer. Screenshot-2.png
New subversion user here. I've run into a nasty problem. It seems that nautilus chokes any time it tries to display a directory containing .svn files. There seems to be some sort of timeout involved per object under version control. The larger the directory, the longer it takes to display. I'm talking minutes here for a fairly ordinary sized directory.
Now I know that nautilus is painfully slow even at the best of times, but this is just ridiculous. These delays are crippling. I have no problem with nautilus and svn files on my work machine, which has centos. So it looks to me like something is misconfigured somewhere. And it is something specific to .svn files.
I tried "gksudo nautilus", and it didn't work! When the root window pops-up, it isn't there! I would like to delete this annoying file so that i can see my whole desktop.
I downloaded some nautilus scripts, found the nautilus scripts directory in gnome2/nautilus-scripts but when put there and I go to use Nautilus they just don`t do anything. Am using Debian Lenny.EDIT: It was a simple error that was stopping scripts working, I did not realise you had to set the script files to be executable as a program. I did this via the scripts icons and they now work
The reason why I'm asking help here is because I'm being continuously ignored in #opensuse-irc-channel in freenode. I updated from 11.2 to 11.3 couple of days ago. I have always used gnome and loved it. Update from 11.1 to 11.2 didn't bring any problems and neither did from 11.2 to 11.3. Update went fine, no errors whatsoever occurred. Of course I had some problems with nvidia drivers and it was hard to get dual screen to work, but I managed. After that I figured out that nautilus is missing, because my desktop was empty and no right clicks worked. So I tried to run it from command line to see what it prints out:
Code:
[03:39:33] peikko ~ $ nautilus
nautilus: symbol lookup error: nautilus: undefined symbol: nautilus_file_info_getter In irc they said me before that I have mixed packages or something. I don't know what's the case but my nautilus just won't work. I ran "zypper dup" and synced the packages, and after reboot I figured maybe nautilus from 11.2 would work, so I one-click-installed it from software.opensuse.org/search without adding the repo of course. And for some reason it worked, maybe because I had zypper dupped before.
Being happily using my computers couple of days I noticed video thumbnails don't work any longer, so I killed nautilus. And duh, it didn't start again. I reinstalled nautilus from 11.2, and it looked like this:[URL] I decided to update it back, and live without nautilus until I find the solution. This is also my server, so reinstalling the system is not an option because I have all those confs and I don't have hard drive for backuping. I also tried again zypper dup from official repo with no joy. I also tried zypper dup & reboot from couple of other repos, like gnome latest for opensuse 11.3, but nothing changed.
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

Basically the Alt-Left and Alt-Right shortcuts in my Nautilus don't work. The Backspace shortcut does work. Reason I am needing them is that I have bound my mouse side keys to them for easier browsing but the original shortcuts don't work. I checked Compiz shortcuts, but those two are not used there (at least I didn't find them).
Any ideas on the subject would be great. Below is some info:
I recently switched my desktop environment from KDE-4.3.4 to GNOME-2.28-2 and I did that by installing most of the gnome-packages and uninstalling pretty much all of the kde-ones. After reboot everything worked fine except the file browser that doesn't seem to care about my feelings. It launches and when I try to kill the process the status changes from sleeping to uninterruptible and then back to sleeping. The only way is to reboot but that isn't a solution.Error while sending message: Did not receive a reply.

My system was working normal then when i reboot the machine the system started but it is halting the boot sequence with this message "INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"
After upgrading to gnome 2.28.2 and Nautilus 2.28.4, nautilus leaves text file(including .php .jave etc,.) icon blank while it works well with image and pdf files.

I am trying to connect my samsung mobile to a laptop, with bletooth. In Ubuntu it worked normally. I have installed opensuse 11.3 KDE and tried to connect when KDE bluetooth module gave me an error that my mobile does not support services. I have solved the problem by installing nautilus from official repo and blueman from factory repo and now I can connect to my mobile with blueman and browse the files with nautilus. Is there a known problem with bluetooth and kde or something is wrong with my opensuse?
My PC shows "respawning too fast disabled for 5 minutes" when it boots up, after editing /etc/inittab erratically. I can change inittab if i can go inside.
I have spent some time reviewing the numerous posts that have this error. However, several of the other posts seem to be able to get a step farther than I can.While booting, the machine produces the following error:"INIT: ID "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"Other thread posts have described being to type ctrl+c to login. However, I get hung up when I attempt to login as root:"Penguin login: root

My Red Hat Enterprise Server ws release 3 machine is receiving this error message.

From what I understand it is because it is failing to load a service or program so the system overrides it to prevent it from eating up my systems resources.
My question is; how do I isolate the problem process in order to fix it?
I am looking for image batch processing (mainly resizing) apps. As I have problems with Nautilus Image Resize in the other thread, are there any other software that is fairly easy to use to batch resize images? Preferably from a one-click install that works. I tried Phatch, but that didn't work for me.
Is it possible to change my current nautilus window to have sudo capabilities,? e.g. to delete locked files. It may be lazy but if it takes a lot of navigation then it would be handy to somehow activate sudo from the open window without the terminal command (gksudo nautilus) which always begins at root.
I've added a new Nautilus action and I'd like to use another icon that those provided in the nautilus item con list (see attachment).
But whatever image I try (some PNG or even SVG files) I can't get them to be displayed. It seems there is a very special format, size, type to match the Gnome/GTK+/Nautilus icon requirements...
Does anyone know how I can move the location bar in nautilus up by the toolbar, as shown by this pic: http://i39.tinypic.com/2qdsyll.jpg
I'd rather not have to download the source of nautilus and edit the code / compile it myself.
By the way, a guy on Ubuntu Forums thought this was a mockup. It's not. It's the regular version of Nautilus, only I removed some toolbar buttons through the /usr/share/nautilus/ui xml files.
I just want the location bar next to the toolbar to conserve screen space, and be a bit more like Finder.
I installed nautilus-open-terminal, and now the option "Open in Terminal" does show up in the context menu for me in Nautilus, and clicking it does open a terminal. But it just opens to the home directory, every time, same as if I'd opened a terminal in the ordinary way. I've tried to look for solutions to this, but I can't find anyone that even has the same problem. Other people complaining about it all seem to be saying that a terminal doesn't even open for them, which is not the case for me.
I was transferring data from one computer to my laptop and crash error came up on my laptop...
Error 1:
Nautilus-2.32.0-1.fc14 Reason: Process/usr/bin/nautilus was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
Error 2:
Openoffice.Org-Brand Crash
Reason: Process/usr/lib/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin was killed by signal (SIGABRT)
What could be the problem? Is it serious issue? I have been having security issues with Windows and are those issues begun once again? I have been under targeted attack since 2005.
