Fedora 20 Nautilus broken by insync python extension

Bugs and issues Linux
#1

Apparently Fedora uses version 3 of Nautilus but the insync extension file insync_plugin.py which is placed in the /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions folder on updates only seems to work with Nautilus version 2. So Nautilus, which is Fedora’s default file manager, stops working everytime there is an update.

After searching I found the work around was to rename the insync_plugin.py file so that Nautilus does not load it and it starts working again. Are there any plans to get your insync plugin to work with Nautilus version 3?

Hi Andrew,

What is the output when you run “nautilus -q && nautilus ~/” in the terminal?

This is the output.

@Andrew_Rigby The issue is with the Arista Nautilus extension. It uses the old Python classes for Nautilus, so it doesn’t work with the most recent version and causes issues with others. Please try renaming it to confirm.

Hi, I renamed the Arista .py extention and it now seems to work with the following output

nautilus -q && nautilus ~/

Thank you.
