thunar closes suddenly
 

whenever i rename a file or paste a file inside thunar file manager after finishing pasting or renaming it closes.
how can i reset thunar configuration ?
thank you

Hi,

is this a new behaviour of the program? which version of Slackware are you using? Did you run any upgrades before?

I had similar problems with pan. It helped to rebuild it, I used the slackbuild-script from the sources-directory.

I can rename files inside Thunar, which stays open.

Configuration files are in ~/.config/Thunar folder.

i'm running slackware 13.73 yes it's new behavior and i have upgraded "glib" package and it's dependencies.
EDIT: i don't intend to rebuild Thunar from slackbuild, and if i Thunar problem still exist,i can use "dolphin" instead but i dont know how to make dolphin default file manager under xfce wm.

actually i deleted ~/.config/Thunar folder but the problem still exist.

If you run thunar from the cli, does that provide any clues?

i run thunar from cli , then pasted some file and gave me that error on the terminal, it's now clear that is an issue with the epgrade of "glib"
should i downgrade glib again !!

That would seem like a good idea.

Why did you upgrade it?

Go to "Settings" > "Preferred Applications" > "Utilities" and change the default file manager to /usr/bin/dolphin.

i wanted to recompile pidgin with audio call support, i downloaded last version and one of it's dependencies require upgraded version of glib :o

inside Utilities there is only "Terminal Emulator" there is no file manager or any other thing.

Well, here is mine. Whose package are you using?

here is mine, is there a way to add preferred programs to Utilities ! :confused:

Hi,

as I see you couldn't yet solve the problem. I'd recommend (again) to simply rebuild the package for thunar. You will simply have to download the packages from your local Slackware-mirror from the sources-directory. ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen...thunar-volman/
Then create a directory in /tmp, for example /tmp/build-thunar/ and move the downloaded files into the directory. Be sure to make the Slackbuild-script executable with and then execute the script as root.

You will finde the package in the /tmp directory and can install with
As I wrote above, in a similar case this helped me when pan crashed.
