Public bug reported: After upgrading from 11.4 to 11.10, whenever I boot without my external monitor plugged in, it gives me an error about not being able to load the display config - I had this error on 11.4 so it is fine and expected.....however........upon giving the error in 11.10, Nautilus File Explorer seems to switch to a different old / safe mode - desktop icons are white and blank and the file explorer is the older non-ubuntu grey and basic looking. I can rectify it by doing "killall Nautilus" and then opening "Files" again, everything is restored as it should be. When I reboot with my external monitor selected everything is fine, so it seems to be this display config error that is causing nautilus to switch to a different mode.
Is there something needs adjusted in the order that nautilus / X11 is loaded ? ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: evolution (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876443 Title: Nautilus file explorer issue when no external monitor is present post 11.10 upgrade Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After upgrading from 11.4 to 11.10, whenever I boot without my external monitor plugged in, it gives me an error about not being able to load the display config - I had this error on 11.4 so it is fine and expected.....however........upon giving the error in 11.10, Nautilus File Explorer seems to switch to a different old / safe mode - desktop icons are white and blank and the file explorer is the older non-ubuntu grey and basic looking.
