Dear Maintainer, There was a crash (I wasn't able to catch/debug that) but after that I started nautilus from console and saw multiple warnings on the console. The Desktop environment is 'MATE', the window manager is 'Marco' and the theme is 'Menta'. Another thing to note is I just upgraded to systemd 208-5. Now without further ado, here are some of the warnings I spotted in the non-gnome environment. (nautilus:24740): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files This seems to be a minor thing as this is a non-gnome environment and for some reason it's searching for GNOME .service files. (nautilus:24740): Gtk-WARNING **: Inserting action group 'ClipboardActions' into UI manager which already has a group with this name Have no idea if it's a harmless warning or not. (nautilus:24740): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_clipboard: assertion 'gtk_widget_has_screen (widget)' failed (nautilus:24740): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_request_text: assertion 'clipboard != NULL' failed These one seem to indicate something a bit more serious. (nautilus:24740): GnomeDesktop-WARNING **: Unable to create loader for mime type video/x-matroska: Unrecognized image file format mimetype is though able to determine the filetype. mimetype ~/shirish/somefilename.mkv: video/x-matroska Just not sharing any actual media filenames. (nautilus:24740): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 13738 was not found when attempting to remove it (nautilus:24740): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.40.0/./gobject/gsignal.c:2580: instance '0x26bade0' has no handler with id '328' I do know that perhaps all the above issues are out-dated as and when gnome-desktop 3.12 are a transition. Still sharing the above warnings.
