Slab popups all the time

PS Can anyone tell me how to undo "chattr +i"?
I do mean without reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling everything!
I am unable to perform many functions, so my system is now unusable as is.

It would seem logical that using a -i parameter would reverse it. That is what is stated in the documentation I can find on the chattr command for e2fsprogs: But when try I, what I get is:
" # chattr -i .gvfs
chattr: Permission denied while trying to stat .gvfs"

chmod has no effect, nor does rm or rmdir even for root. Any advise?

The hidden folder .gvfs has attributes dr-x------. Change them to drwx------ the try again. I don't use chattr because it's dangerous if you don't fully understand it (and I don't). Maybe chattr has already made it impossible to chmod as a normal user. [Try chmod and rm as root of course].

I believe that the proper fix can be found at novell for the slab errors poping up all the time.

I supose I'll begin reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling to fix my system from the damage caused by the "recomended fix":
"chattr +i recently-used.foo".

I'll never take that "advise" again!!

PLEASE READ!
Apparently
chattr +i Can be reversed with chattr -i

More info here:
The Furtive Penguin - Protect Your Files and Folders with Chattr and Lcap

Don't use commands unless you understand them. Especially those executed as su.!

Advice would be to leave well alone.
I certainly don't recommend it as I have insufficient knowledge of the subject.

Hi there,

Anyone found the solution about this issue??

I have installed

OpenSuse 11.1
Vmware Workstation 6.5.2

Thks in advance

I found this information in bugzilla from a link posted earlier in this thread:

"We started the update process for gvfs on 11.1. I think the update is ready in September and you can get it through the normal update channel."

Click here to see the bug.

What I did was to add a traditional Gnome Main Menu (right click in the panel bar and choosing "add to the panel") and removing the slab main menu. When the update comes, I'll use the new menu again.

Thanks alsbraga...

this my workaround:

make a script:

name:xp-pro.sh
path file vmx:/var/lib/vmware/VirtualMachines/XP-Pro/XP-Pro.vmx

#!/bin/bash

sed 's/"file:\/\/\/var\/lib\/vmware\/VirtualMachines\/XP-Pro\/XP-Pro.vmx"/"\/var\/lib\/vmware\/VirtualMachines\/XP-Pro\/XP-Pro.vmx"/g' /home/utonto/.recently-used.xbel > /home/utonto/.recently-used.xbel.tmp
mv /home/utonto/.recently-used.xbel.tmp /home/utonto/.recently-used.xbel
chmod 600 /home/utonto/.recently-used.xbel

vmplayer /var/lib/vmware/VirtualMachines/XP-Pro/XP-Pro.vmx &
sleep 5

sed 's/"\/var\/lib\/vmware\/VirtualMachines\/XP-Pro\/XP-Pro.vmx"/"file:\/\/\/var\/lib\/vmware\/VirtualMachines\/XP-Pro\/XP-Pro.vmx"/g' /home/utonto/.recently-used.xbel > /home/utonto/.recently-used.xbel.tmp
mv /home/utonto/.recently-used.xbel.tmp /home/utonto/.recently-used.xbel
chmod 600 /home/utonto/.recently-used.xbel

give it the execute permission
chmod +x xp-pro.sh

make an alias

alias xp-pro='/path/xp-pro.sh'

put the alias in /home/utonto/.bashrc

start the virtul machine via shell whit "xp-pro"

bye bye
