Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
After changing my GDM Login background color from brown to black, I went in my home folder and made hidden files visible. I made hidden files invisible again and saw a new folder I hadn't seen before, "file:" I deleted the folder from my home directory and restarted my PC. Ubuntu took a while too boot, I had no background (black), and I couldn't open nautilus as a normal user. I restored the file from the trash (using gksudo nautilus) and got access to nautilus again on next reboot. I tried to reproduce this problem but it won't reoccur. Booting to the desktop now does take a tad bit longer than it used to: (background & panel loads -> panel disappears -> panels reappear -> usable desktop) ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- deleting "file:" folder causes problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156401 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
