Hi. I don't know but I just discovered that it wiped out most of the folders and loose files in my backup drive, too, and I'm busy trying to salvage some stuff.
To reproduce: Take the Jaunty Studio daily build from 10 Jan 2009 (normal, not 64-bit) Install it on a laptop. (Desktop will not load... you will just get the base system.) Re-boot and, at the prompt, do sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-studio-desktop Reboot into your new unstable system. Work on it for a while, using left mouse to pull down the Ubuntu icon and access Places / Home, especially, but other partitions also. (I have three, all of them are Ubuntu Studio Desktop) -- deskbar-applet in ubuntustudio corruptable caused massive data loss https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to deskbar-applet in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
