I accidentally killed my Nautilus

[dopefish124]

So my gnome experience isn't very fun now!
I'm missing my panels and icons - I believe this is because Nautilus can't start...

My windows work, that's how I can load windows like Firefox, right now.

So it kind of - and don't laugh - started when I attempted to add some scripts to my /etc/rcX directory.(think it was rc4... not sure, the incriminating scripts are now removed).

Here is the output from the term when I start Nautilus...

How can I get things back to normal so that my Desktop works properly? How do I reinstall Nautilus, if that is necessary?

Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy btw! Yes, outdated!

Thank you kindly for any help.

[BC59]

Look if the problem is solved with these commands:

nautilus -q or
killall nautilus

[BC59]

Or with this:


sudo apt-get -- reinstall install ubuntu-desktop

and this


sudo apt-get install nautilus

[fdrake]

nautilus in linux != (is not) explorer in windows !
try this end your pannel should restart:


gnome-session && gnome-panel &
nautilus

[dopefish124]

Tried your tips - they did not work I'm afraid.

I reinstalled Ubuntu-Desktop as far as apt-get can do it.
Did the same for nautilus, reinstalled with apt-get.

I may have to venture out myself and open the bonnet of my system, for a more robust repair...

If anyone knows how this issue was caused - because it happened because I tried to install those bootscripts - I'd like to know!

did you tried : "gnome-session && gnome-panel & " ?
and what's the output?
also how did you kill nautilus:

My bad, I replied to BC59 before I saw your post.

Yes I tried the commands you gave. I see what you mean by (nautilus != explorer.exe). I thought it was like that just by observation, not from old Windows habits.

Anyway, GLib-Gobject is still "critical" when I ran gnome-panel
