Description

Hello all, I have just faced with an unexpected behavior of QGis 2.x on Fedora Desktop 20. For a some reason I cannot add any vector theme into the blank QGis project.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch QGis from shell;
2. Click "Add Vector Theme"; the new dialogue appears;
3. Leave all the radio buttons and menus by default and click "Browse";
4. QGis gets hanged up with no crash.

The discribed problem was observed both with QGis 2.0 and QGis 2.2 installed from rpms (f20 repo). The full list of installed packages is attached to this message.

Thank you.

any important message in the console, if you launch qgis from it? tried to disable/remove all the plugins (or launch qgis with the --noplugins switch)?

Both packages work fine here on the same platform.

Edit: I guess you are talking about the alternative repository mentioned on the qgis.org download page. I don't think Fedora has already upgraded its own repositories to 2.2?

There is no anything special in the shell but this:
[vitaly@thermaltake ~]$ qgis
Warning: loading of qt translation failed [/usr/share/qt4/translations/qt_en_US]

tried to disable/remove all the plugins

I have turned off all the plugins that are launched by default, but the problem still persists.

(or launch qgis with the --noplugins switch)?

[vitaly@thermaltake ~]$ qgis --noplugins
The same result.

It seems like the problem was in Gnome 3.10. I have installed the latest KDE Plasma DE, and from that point on QGis worked properly.
Thanks for you response.
