After removing/uninstalling all Ubuntu One packages as suggested by cheribibi and Daniel in posts #16 and #17 respectively, I now see only one new .goutputstream-* file in my /home every morning when I turn on my computer. The Properties of all my .goutputstream-* files show that their size is 0 bytes and opening the files with gedit show that they are blank. I have moved my .goutputstream-* files to Trash, kept them there for a couple of days, then deleted them and it does not appear to have any affect on the normal performance of my system.
Hope someone who is familiar with Ubuntu ... and its variants ... will look into this problem as it is quite frustrating to see these apparently useless files appearing everyday. -- 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/984785 Title: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME.
