i've tried your suggestion with a new user but it didn't help: i wasnt able to search my folders through nautilus with a clean profile either.
i think i've isolated the error message: in both the old and the new profile, nautilus reports the following error in the xsession-errors file after trying to perform a search: ** (nautilus:1651): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_cancel_call: assertion `pending != NULL' failed this message doesnt occur when running nautilus as root. -- Nautilus file search only works as root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549957 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
