By the way, after intervening updates, it seems the problem doesn't occur any more as originally described. Now when I try to launch nautilus:
$ nautilus Could not register the application: Error connecting: Connection refused and if instead I try $dbus-launch nautilus Initializing nautilus-dropbox 0.6.8 ** (nautilus:15129): DEBUG: Syncdaemon not running, waiting for it to start in NameOwnerChanged Initializing nautilus-gdu extension Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing. it comes up fine and I can view Trash etc normally. I guess I'll have to look up what "dbus" is... It seems bad that I have to behave differently if I'm not logged in locally, ie whatever happened to X transparency? -- 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/872841 Title: Nautilus fails to use gvfs backends when used over ssh Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Latest update of 11.10. I launch a Nautilus window. I click on Trash in the left panel. A popup tells me "The folder contents could not be displayed." "Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported" What should happen... is that Trash, empty or full, should be displayed. Or a more meaningful error should be given if something's wrong.
