Freeze when accessing root

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Could you run nautilus from a command line?:
- gnome-session-remove nautilus
- nautilus
get the issue and note the messages printed on the command line if any

I'm using Ubuntu 6.06, using all current possible updates as of 10/6/06. There is no error messages when running normaly. I'm currently on windows so I cannot check this at the moment, I will report any command line errors when I am on my Ubuntu partition. I am sadly stuck with dial-up and, of course, a Conexant modem (Which linuxant cannot even recognize)

I have tried reinstalling the Nautilus packages, no luck.

what about the messages on the command line? Could you get a backtrace when it hangs? Run nautilus with gdb for that (with libgnomevfs2-0-dbg nautilus-dbg installed)
- gnome-session-remove nautilus
- gdb nautilus
(gdb) run
.... get the hang
<Ctrl-> on the gdb prompt
(gdb) thread apply all bt

I didn't backtrace, because when running any other way, It works. I tried just typing "nautilus", and it runs as a seperate process, not in the prompt. I tried "sudo nautilus" to get superuser access, and it doesn't run as a seperate process and I can access root. Thinking "Maybe it allowed it to fix whatever the problem was", I ran nautilus normally, and it still freezes. I'll try to get the backtrace another time.

that's because you didn't run "gnome-session-remove nautilus" to run the
previously running instance first
