Cannot open Nautilus su

When i’m trying to open Nautilus as su (or by gksu nautilus or sudo nautilus) i’m getting an enormous sermon in the terminal window, nautilus then starts never the less but crashes immediately when i’m trying to change settings . . .

Some of the errors are:

(nautilus:13324): Nautilus-GDU-WARNING **: unable to query info

(nautilus:13387): Eel-WARNING **: GConf-Fehler

And then i’m reading (translating here from german) that a cause for the GConf error might be there’s something missing between TCP/IP and Orbit. Out of any idea for that as for the rest as well . . .

TIA

PS. In Debian that works without even reflecting on it . . .

Hi
Either use gnomesu or xdg-su to start Nautilus (gksu is not an openSUSE thing :wink: )

Thanks. But both do not work.

With <gnomesu nautilus> nothing happens (the prompt in the terminal disappears but Nautilus does not start; have to do CTRL+Z to re-get the prompt). <xdg-su nautilus> returns:

xdg-su: unexpected argument ‘nautilus’

And nothing changes when i’m pointing explicitely to the directory; //usr/bin/nautilus (or when i’m starting the cmd from there).

Hi
Try pressing alt+F2 then in the dialog gnomesu nautilus

How? Before, while after?

Anyway, Alt-F2 brings me to the Applications tab (in Smeegol). I tried it after (having typed in in the terminal gnomesu nautilus) but nautilus is started in usermode.

Hi
Ahhhh This little gem would have helped :wink:

Anyway, Alt-F2 brings me to the Applications tab (in Smeegol).

Open a terminal and run;


su -c nautilus

Looks like it’s a bug of some description.

since Alt+F2 should cause a “run dialog” to pop up, why don’t you
let us stop guessing and tell us at least the bare facts:

operating system
version
update status
desktop environment
graphic chip/driver
desktop effects on or off
local or remote
vm or bare metal
hardware (smart phone to what? rack mount server)
that kinda stuff…

by the way, does any of the documentation for Smeegol give any hints
of where to go for help? (i ask, because i’ve never seen a Smeegol
Guru around here!

Uses Smeegol on my netbook :wink: plus there is always IRC #opensuse-moblin

Hi
Spoke with the Developer, can you please raise a bug at
Bugzilla Main Page and post back the bug # so I can
add my 2 cents worth.

I did, and i hope i did it correctly. I’m really not familiar with all this. Sorry, eh . . . :wink:

For what i know:

Samsung N150 with 2 GB ram (atom 450 i think)
OpenSuse 11.3 (Smeegol)
Intel Pineview Integrated Graphics Controller
No special desktop effects (as far as i’m aware)
hardwarewise nothing else (sometimes an usb cd drive or a disk to exchange data)

I think if would be also pretty much helpful for malcolmlewis and if You posted the bug number :slight_smile: as he wanted to add some info to that as well. Hopefully the bug will be resolved faster this way.

Best regards,
Greg

Oh, great! And you’ve a screenshot of an english system (me i see the same window but in german, i think it’d be a bit difficult ;-).

Anyway, a question: what’s the shortcut to the screenshot in Suse? In Debian/Ubuntu i’ve an icon in the panel . . . ?

TIA!

In KDE presing Prnt Scr button on your keyboard does that. Maybe that works the same on Smeegol but it also might not work this way there :slight_smile: But then You might not have a keyboard on the device You run Smeegol on.

Best regards,
Greg

Hi
In the menu, just use the search feature for ‘screenshot’ in Smeegol,
see the little pin when you highlight the icon, press that and it will
pin to the favorites menu.

Else you can use gnome-screenshot from the command line or use xwd.

Thanks, ok (stupid me, i didn’t see the app). I don’t want to stress this thread, but: Is there somewhere a thread where i could ask Smeegol related questions (i’ve several and i cannot judge if important or due to my dumbness suse/(s)meego(l)wise (frankly, you’re the first person i met, who seems in to it :wink:
