This is no bug! If you want to create a link to /home/username the symlink is placed in /home/, but your user have no rights to do that.
You have 3 possibilities: 1. Add a launcher to "nautilus" on your Desktop, that's the smae 2. use your terminal with "ln -s" 3. start nautilus as root and doing it (with sudo) But maybe its a good featurerequest for nautilus to have a feature like "place link on desktop, because here you have no rights", like its implemented in windows. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- links to the home directory cannot be made in nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
