I agree that it's a pretty important bug - I can't mount any drives/network shares, which makes it impossible to do my development work.
A work around I can use occasionally is: 1) Click on the nautilus launcher icon a couple of times 2) Wait until the grayed out windows appear 3) Right click on the launcher icon and select "Quit" 4) Confirm the Force Close and wait for all windows to disappear 5) Click on the launcher icon again, it should load a usable window It only works occasionally, and relies upon the grayed out windows to appear - which only appear some times. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/749776 Title: Nautilus won't start up and the desktop icons are frozen (can't be clicked) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
