Thing that's surprise me is that I have a very basic install of ubuntu, using unity.
My Home folder is encrypted though. Maybe that's the problem ? When I try to access the folder /home in nautilus I have the message "The folder contents could not be displayed. You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "home"." --- So I decided to change the chmod of the /home folder from drwxr-x--x 5 root root 4096 Nov 11 16:18 . to drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 11 16:18 . I don't have the error anymore when I open the preference dialog in transmission, or when I try to print from Firefox, so I guess it's working fine now but... Is it a good fix ? Is the chmod suposed to be in drwxr-xr-x ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074539 Title: Opening Preferences shows read error for home To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1074539/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
