Possibly integration problem of Btrfs & LVM I just check on another laptop (ACER, other is 'Schenker'). It's the same reproducable bug, that you cannot open folders directly form desktop when you have nautilus added to 'Startup Applications'.
I may have a clue: These 18.10-installations are on Btrfs and the buggy 18.04 was on LVM file system. In the attached journal you will find the error in between and at the end when I tried to open a desktop folder: `Φεβ 01 18:54:55 drstoop-opc nautilus[2041]: can't init metadata tree /home/drstoop/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home: open: Permission denied` gvgs-metadata of these file systems require root permissions. So this bug may be a integration lack of Btrfs and LVM. ** Attachment added: "journal log of buggy session with ACER-laptop" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1814140/+attachment/5235115/+files/jounral_all_ACER.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1814140 Title: Folders on `Desktop` cannot be opened when nautilus is launched from `Startup Applications` To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1814140/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
