Hm, weird. There was no message this time when the desktop disappeared. I have included the output of the nautilus startup.
** Description changed: When calling nautilus with the --no-desktop flag in Ubuntu 16.10 while it is already running, the existing desktop stops responding. All icons disappear, and the desktop doesn't react to mouse input. - nautilus throws the following error: + nautilus may or may not throw the following error: (nautilus:3723): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed (nautilus:3723): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed This is relevant since e.g. the Dropbox indicator calls nautilus this way, resulting in the desktop crashing. ** Attachment added: "Output during nautilus startup" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/1633826/+attachment/4771019/+files/nautilus_startup_output.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1633826 Title: nautilus desktop crashes when called with --no-desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1633826/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
