I've had exactly the same problem on my system at work. Ubuntu 8.04, with nfs mounted home directory (red hat EL5 nfs server) and nis served by solaris 9 host.
I don't know if these problems are related or not, but I often have to "touch" the .Xauthority file to allow X client apps to display if they've been launched from other hosts. Virtual box (2.0.4) also aborts (seemingly at random) and I wonder whether its something to do with filesystem notification event issues with NFS. -- desktop launcher properties window crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224642 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
