This seemed to be a downstream effect of a display error I was having at start-up.
At start-up I was getting: none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes: Trying modes for CRTC 351 CRTC 351: trying mode 3360x1050@50Hz with output at 1680x1050@50Hz (pass 0) CRTC 351: trying mode 3360x1050@50Hz with output at 1680x1050@50Hz (pass 1) I fixed this by doing the following: 1. Cog Icon, System Settings, Additional Drivers. 2. Click "NVIDIA accelerated graphics griver (post-release updates) (version current-updates)". 3. Click Acitivate and wait for the install process to finish. 4. Restart Ubuntu. I guess that if my solution works for everyone else then there are two bugs here. One is that the update of the NVIDIA drivers to the latest version should be part of the Ubuntu upgrade, the other is that the pos- release updates should be the recommend version. This might amount to the same thing. Not sure how fixing the display error on start-up fixed the problems with Nautilus. -- 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/873545 Title: After update Nautilus icons are black/white, no decorations of breadcrumb etc. Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I just updated to Ubuntu 11.10 - and everything looked perfectly okay - except Nautilus!
