In the thread user pmorton provides a fix for the problem (at least for me), he says:
Solved by editing directly the gnome configuration file: $HOME/.gconf/apps/nautilus/desktop/%gconf.xml. Should read something like: <?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> <entry name="computer_icon_visible" mtime="1189850432" type="bool" value="true"> </entry> <entry name="documents_icon_visible" mtime="1189850434" type="bool" value="true"> </entry> <entry name="home_icon_visible" mtime="1189850435" type="bool" value="true"> </entry> <entry name="network_icon_visible" mtime="1189850437" type="bool" value="true"> </entry> <entry name="trash_icon_visible" mtime="1189850438" type="bool" value="true"> </entry> <entry name="computer_icon_name" mtime="1202006083" type="string"> <stringvalue>Computer</stringvalue> </entry> <entry name="home_icon_name" mtime="1201476265" type="string"> <stringvalue>Home</stringvalue> </entry> <entry name="network_icon_name" mtime="1201476278" type="string"> <stringvalue>Network</stringvalue> </entry> <entry name="trash_icon_name" mtime="1201476290" type="string"> <stringvalue>Trash</stringvalue> </entry> </gconf> Assuming root's gnome configuration file is ok (i.e. root's desktop displays icons), it's easiest just to copy that file from root's directory to the user's directory: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo cp /root/.gconf/apps/nautilus/desktop/%gconf.xml $HOME/.gconf/apps/nautilus/desktop/ Restart gnome; desktop icons are back, and desktop is again right- clickable. -- nautilus crashes with anything to do with /home/user/Desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
