I am now able to run a Unity desktop from the Oneiric amd64 20110527 daily-live CD on that machine, and this bug occurs. So it is not specific to classic desktops.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus In a fully-updated Oneiric i386 system with no graphics acceleration, running nautilus 1:3.0.2-0ubuntu1 and (in case it's relevant, as may be suggested by output to stderr) appmenu-gtk 0.2.1-0ubuntu3, Nautilus doesn't create an interactive desktop when run in an "Ubuntu Classic (no effects)" session. The desktop is blank, contains no icons (even when there are files in $HOME/Desktop that don't start with .), and does not respond to right-clicking or to clicking-and-dragging). Until the large number of updates I installed earlier today (/var/log/dpkg.log attached), a Nautilus folder window would launch when I logged in. I had assumed that was occurring instead of Nautilus creating an interactive desktop. Now no Nautilus folder window is created. Running nautilus manually successfully brings up a folder window, but does not render the desktop functional. When Nautilus is run from a Terminal window, the following messages (each with a blank line after it) are printed 24 times after the initial "Initializing nautilus-gdu extension" message: `menu_proxy_module_load': nautilus: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (nautilus:1891): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) However, those messages are also printed when I run other GTK+ applications from the Terminal (such as gedit), so they might not really be related in any way to this bug. I've included them in case they are. The Oneiric system on which this occurred and on which I am reporting this bug was created several weeks ago by changing "natty"s to "oneiric"s in sources.list and running "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get dist upgrade". But I was also able to reproduce this problem on an Oneiric i386 20110526.1 daily-live system running on a machine with identical hardware (also in an "Ubuntu Classic (no effects)" session). This bug has some degree of resemblance to bug 708525, bug 749703, and probably others, but those bugs seem to lack the necessary degree of specificity (at this time) to determine if they are similar in cause to this bug. + UPDATE: This is not classic desktop specific, as it also occurs on an + amd64 machine in a Unity session with the Oneiric amd64 20110527 daily- + live CD. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: nautilus 1:3.0.2-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.39-3.9-generic 2.6.39 Uname: Linux 2.6.39-3-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Thu May 26 19:17:30 2011 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta i386 (20110416) ProcEnviron: - SHELL=/bin/bash - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - LANGUAGE=en_US:en + SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + LANGUAGE=en_US:en SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Summary changed: - nautilus doesn't create interactive desktop in classic session + nautilus doesn't create interactive desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/788894 Title: nautilus doesn't create interactive desktop -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
