Oh yeah -- if you do have older .desktop files, created by nautilus, in ~/.local/share/applications, you can still have the Trash opened with the movie player, etc. I had to delete those, specifically an old version of nautilus-folder-handler.desktop.
So the problem with this affecting upgrading users, rather than new installs, remains. That might be a wishlist bug for nautilus itself, for newer versions to clean up those old files. That might be more likely than trying to do it through update-manager. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260492 Title: opening a directory using an application change associations incorrectly Status in Deleted: Invalid Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-panel” source package in Intrepid: Fix Released Status in “nautilus” source package in Intrepid: Fix Released Status in “update-manager” source package in Intrepid: Invalid Bug description: TESTCASE: * using hardy and upgrading to intrepid - right click on a directory in nautilus - select the open with menu entry - select an application in the list, eog for example try opening a directory in the places menu, nautilus is used, upgrade to intrepid, eog is being used now * using intrepid and upgrading to the fixed version - right click on a directory in nautilus - select the properties menu entry - go to the open with tab and set an application to be the default there, eog for example try opening a directory in the places menu eog is being used now * upgrading to the candidate version should make nautilus be used again in both scenarios (you need to restart your session to get the new version running) --------------------------------------------------- After using 'upgrade-manager -d" to Intrepid, something during the upgrade prosses unintentionally hijacked our configurations to launch various programs in-place of nautilus for opening folders from the places menu. I do not believe that the package 'gnome-panel' is necessarily at fault, but don't have a clue where the root cause is as I don't understand how the places menu works, however Tuomas Aavikko's workaround gave me success in fixing the issue: Right click on a folder in nautilus ->Open with app-> File Manager Now I can open my home folder from the places menu again. So it seems that there is a file extension for folders that is being hijacked by the installation / upgrade of other packages such as VLC, gthumb, totem, amarok, kaffeine, Konqueror, Archiver Manager.
