I have just upgraded to GNOME 2.6 from Cooker Main using Mandrake 10.0 Official.

Everything works except Nautilus crashed on login and no longer runs. I uninstalled Nautilus using urpme and the reinstalled again using urpmi but Nautilus still crashed.

Also I have had to go back to the unaccelerated Nvidia drivers (nv) because X11 is unable to load the glx driver/library. The version installed was - NVIDIA-kernel-2.6.3-15mdk-5336-6.mdk

Anyway KDE works fine - although not upgraded to 3.2.3 yet. I'll wait for 10.1 to comeout.

10.1 beta is out already
I'm running it now.

NVIDIA have released build 6106 of their drivers - worth checking out.

Might be worth creating a new user and logging into it to see if Nautilus is crashing system wide or just for that one user.

I have downloaded the latest NVIDIA drivers and had to install using the --extract-only option and the make install the driver before it would work.

Now NVIDIA drivers are OK, I will have to check with a new user account next

Thanks for the help,

Regards

Sorry, I made a new user but Nautilus just crashed 10 times before giving up - Segmentation Fault.

Any clues?

When you reinstalled Nautilus, did you reinstall from Cooker, or from the beta? Updating something like GNOME from Cooker is very dangerous, since the versions of Cooker dependencies change very often (meaning that the version coded into the main rpm may not be available anymore at the moment you install the main rpm), and sometimes go away entirely. It definitely sounds like some required dependency is missing on your system.

Were there any error messages when you installed or reinstalled Nautilus? Have you tried the Failsafe Gnome session? Have you tried logging into GNOME as root? As a last resort, have you tried reverting to GNOME 2.4?

Thanks for the help.

I cannot recall any error messages when I installed from Cooker Main. I got the same results when logging in as root. I'll try to reinstall 2.4. later and see how it goes.

What is the ftp for 10.1 beta? I'm in Australia and have been using the Tiawan mirror.

Update -

I have got Nautilus running by using information from Linux From Scratch.

I was able to determine which packages were missing and installed them. Thanks for the assistance.

Thank you; it's good to know where to look for such information if something like this should ever happen to me-- I'd never have thought of LFS as a troubleshooting source (though it's a great idea).
