 Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2008 7:32 pm Post subject: Thunar crashing [SOLVED-dirty way] |
 |
|
Running xfce4, I recently discovered (no major updates, just minor configuration of services, namely postfix) that thunar crashes whenever is opened (app. 10 seconds after opening) causing that I'm unable to browse files under thunar.
Have no idea where to look, so am posting here my
/.config/Thunar/thunarrc :
| Quote: | [Configuration]
DefaultView=void
LastCompactViewZoomLevel=THUNAR_ZOOM_LEVEL_SMALLEST
LastDetailsViewColumnOrder=THUNAR_COLUMN_NAME,THUNAR_COLUMN_SIZE,THUNAR_COLUMN_TYPE,THUNAR_COLUMN_DATE_MODIFIED
LastDetailsViewColumnWidths=

| Remove (or rename) your thunar config file. Also, run thunar from a terminal window so that you can see if any error messages are printed when it crashes. |

thank you yabbadabbadont, I removed config but is still crashing, and while firing up in terminal, an error appears:
| Quote: | Thunar: Failed to connect to the D-BUS session bus: 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.Segmentation fault
|
Maybe is unrelated to this, but I also had a problem with dbus trying to run hp-setup (have printer configured through localhost in browser) |

Do you have the dbus USE flag enabled? I'm guessing you do, or you wouldn't get errors about apps trying to connect to it... 
Did you add dbus to the default runlevel so that the dbus server is started when the machine starts?
Is it listed when you run, as root, "rc-update -s"? |

Right, dbus USE flag is enabled, but dbus is not started:

You can delete your last post if no one has replied by clicking the X in the top right hand corner of your post. Of course, you can't now that I have replied... 
Anyway, add dbus to the default runlevel with "rc-update add dbus default". Then either reboot, or start the service with "/etc/init.d/dbus start". Then see if thunar runs properly. |

Thanks for instruction on how to delete 
Anyhow, did as you said, received message after starting dbus:
[/quote]* WARNING: dbus has already been started. [quote] (how's that bacuse is not listed on runlevel??)
and thunar crashed again...
going crazy .
Should I remove dbus flag maybe and then update/recompile everything or thunar only or..?
Would be smart to reboot to recheck again?
EDITED: After reboot, thunar works fine
Problem solved, THANK YOU yabbadabbadont!
EDIT 2: It was premature conclusion: thunar crashed again, same messages. Will remove USE flag and see if it d change anything.
After stopping & removing dbus,hald and cupsd from runlevel, thunar works fine. The question is do I need all these services removed or would it be enough to remove hald only (I recall that I ve added hal today, just prior thunar started series of crash.)
Thanks again, yabbadabbadont! |
