RHBA-2015:2236 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated nautilus packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

Nautilus is the file manager and graphical shell for the GNOME desktop. Sushi is a quick previewer for Nautilus.

The nautilus and sushi packages have been upgraded to upstream versions 3.14.3 and 3.12 respectively, which provide a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. For more details on these changes, see the upstream release notes in the References section and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Release Notes. (BZ#1174562, BZ#1174594)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

• When browsing an FTP remote subdirectory of the root, the /usr/bin/nautilus process previously terminated unexpectedly returning the following error message:

ERROR:nautilus-bookmark.c:349:nautilus_bookmark_connect_file: assertion
failed: (!nautilus_file_is_gone (bookmark->details->file))
Aborted (core dumped)

A patch has been provided to fix this bug, and the Nautilus file manager no longer crashes in this situation. (BZ#1115338)

• Previously, unmounting a USB drive failed while a file was selected,

with the following error message returned:

This location could not be displayed

This bug has been fixed, and a USB device now unmounts successfully. (BZ#1188281)

• Prior to this update, right clicking on an external Hard Disk Drive (HDD) icon on the desktop caused the Nautilus file manager to terminate unexpectedly. This bug has been fixed, and right click now displays a

context menu for the icon as expected. (BZ#1254177)

Users of nautilus are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
