It is reproducible on my system by 1. plug in mp3 player by USB 2. when Nautilus prompts what to do with the device select open folder 3. either delete files on the mounted filesystem or already have a trash folder present 4. right click on the icon for the mp3 player on the desktop and select unmount 5. at the nautilus prompt advising that it needs to empty the trash, select empty garbage bin 6. wait a few minutes while the file operations dialogue says preparing (but just appears to hang) 7. cancel the file operations dialogue 8. Home directory will now not load nor will additional mounted hard drives open 9. logout and back in 10. all config files in home will now have disappeared, appearing as if this is my first login again
I am unsure if this is relevant but the trash folder on the mp3 player is called ".trash-1000" rather than just ".trash" for some reason I haven't attempted to reproduce this yet on another system or with other forms of removable storage -- Nautilus deletes all users directories when unmounting Sandisk Sansa MP3 player in MSC mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
