Nautilus Hangs

English Applications
#1

Hi,

I am using openSUSE Gnome 3 (64)
I recently created an EXT4 partition on my existing HDD. This partition used to hold another Linux Distro which I recently discontinued using.

I created this partition using the partitioning tool in Yast. As you know, by default only root can write to a newly created partition so I did

linux-so4e:/home/user0 # chown user0 /media/storage2/storage2/

But the problem is whenever I right click on something & click properties nautilus hangs completely.

Then I do ALT+F2 > xkill & get rid of nautilus. I just did that & now nautilus wont open at all.

linux-so4e:/home/user0 # fdisk -l

Please help me troubleshoot the issue.

This was a partition used by LMDE? Correct?

It already existed, you just formatted it?
Perhaps we could see
/etc/fstab

Did you use -R with chown?

#3

Yes, this partition used to hold LMDE.

No, I first deleted it then created an EXT4 partition.

No, I didn’t use -R with chown

I haven’t edited my /etc/fstab yet. Here it is

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160215AS_6RAAA8P8-part5	swap	swap	defaults 0 0 
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160215AS_6RAAA8P8-part1	/	ext4	acl,user_xattr 1 1

sysfs	/sys	sysfs	noauto 0 0

devpts	/dev/pts	devpts	mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 
/dev/sda3	/media/sda3	ext4	acl,user_xattr 1 2

In case you need to see this

linux-so4e:/home/user0 # mount

Hi
It’s a known bug… openSUSE:GNOME 3.0 - openSUSE Last entry in ‘Known Issues’

The workaround worked :slight_smile:

Did

linux-so4e:/home/user0 # zypper remove nautilus-extension-tracker-tags

Now nautilus shows the properties window without any issues.

Thank you.
