oaf/orb is being rather screwy... evolution/nautilus troubles
recently, I've been having trouble with evolution and
nautilus (both from SID).
In Evolution, I occasionally (actually, rather
regularly, but not 100% of the time) get the following
error when i try creating a new email
<<
Could not create composer window:
Unable to activate HTML editor component.
The error from the component system is:
Unknown CORBA exception id:
'IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0'
>>
(though sometimes the bottom line just says something
to the effect of "An Unknown Error Occurred"). If i
try new mail again, it works flawlessly (though i
occasionally have 2 or 3 errors right in a row, i
eventually do get a composer window), however, so this
is more annoyance than anything else, but it is a
rather large annoyance.
With nautilus, i have a slightly different trouble:
at least once during every nautilus session, when i
try opening a nautilus window, the nautilus desktop
dissappears, then it reappears and 3 - 5 new nautilus
windows open up. closing them kills the desktop once
again, though nautilus and nautilus-throbber processes
linger on. if i kill all those processes and restart
nautilus, i get 'proper' behavior for a varying amount
of time, but then the desktop kill/multpile window
open thing happens again.
i was finally able to get some terminal output when
this error happened by runinng 'nautilus' from a
terminal ('run-nautilus' gave no output at all), and
it said something similar to the evolution problem i
have stated above:
nautilus-throbber: something wrong with
OAF/ORBIT/something like that... it was another
COMM_FAILURE, i beleive, but the terminal overwrote
(CTRL-L'ed) itself when the nautilus desktop died (the
process exited, i was back in shell, and nautilus no
longer spit any information out to the terminal), and
i did not get the chance to copy the exact error down
before it was overwriten with CTRL-L :-(... all i know
for sure is that the error claimed to be with
nautilus-throbber, and either OAF or CORBA or ORBIT...
(i dont understand much about these components, so
its rather difficult to straighten them out ;) )
appologies if this is not the correct list (is this
striclty a developer list?) to issue these questions
to, but i've found that obscure problems such as these
that i tend to find somewhat regularly get overlooked
on debian-user or #debian support channel, so i
thought that a more specific list, which i know
developers read would perhaps be helpful.
-thanks.
