This is not a problem right now, but I would like some input on how to
help locating the bug when the problem re-appears (it has happened twice
in about two weeks now...).
I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty x64 with ext3 file system.
When adding files/folders to the Desktop by copying, moving or creating
new, sometimes the files/folders disappear. This also happens when
trying to do the same in nautilus in the Desktop-folder (not in any
other folder).
Old files/folders remain visible, while the new files/folders disappears
both from the Desktop and in the Desktop-folder using nautilus. When
running ls-command in terminal the files/folders shows as expected. If I
run "mv old new", the files/folders will appear on the Desktop again.
I have no idea what causes this problem. I noticed it one time in
Intrepid, and now two times in Jaunty. The only common thing I remember
is probably that the computer hadn't been rebooted in about a week. A
system reboot fixes the problem, but I'm not sure if the files/folders
automatically appears after reboot, as I every time "recovered" the
files/folders by using the mv-command before I rebooted.
It seems to me that the computer enters some kind of state where new
files disappears from the Desktop. Only a reboot will get the computer
out of this state. The terminal works as expected though.
Any idea why this happens?
