Re: Nautilus Locks up when running external scripts, etc.

[Sean Eichhorn <sean frozenreality com>]

Hi,
Thanks for the pointers, but I'm not finding any help yet.

I'm running on a custom distribution linux.  The whole system has been
compiled from source.  Kernel 2.4.18.  Running on a Dell Inspiron
laptop.  As far as I am aware all the software running is the latest
version, except gcc which is version 3.04.
I have downloaded the latest nautilus release.  Not the cvs version.

> strace -f /usr/bin/nautilus 2>&1 | tee /tmp/log

strace ends rather quickly on one of the forks.
I did this :
strace -p <nautilus pid>
then right-clicked the desktop and clicked on cd-rom.  (To mount the
cd-rom)  This is the result.

And, as you see, the code exits.  (Some nautilus pids disappear, but the
remaining nautilus just locks up)

Any ideas??? Anybody???
