[Bug 329146] Re: nautilus unable to start on login

[Jeff]

UPDATE: Removing "vlc" and "samba" didn't seem to do anything. Desktop
icons are still missing upon startup. The desktop icons do show up after
I open a nautilus folder.

To expand on my setup/situation...

I just started having this problem today in Ubuntu 10.04. It started out
as I wasn't able to see panels, desktop icons, or window borders and
Alt+F2 didn't work either among several other problems. The entire
desktop was useless -- I couldn't do anything. This all occurred after I
performed some system updates, installed Minitube and Minitunes. I was
doing some system maintenance so to pin point what started this issue
would be tough.

So I reinstalled a brand new (downloaded from ubuntu.com today) copy of
10.04. The initial startup was problem-free, but somewhere after
installing apps/updates I started experiencing problems. The desktop
environment was functional at least, but the gnome-panel and desktop
icons weren't showing up (Fix for my gnome-panel problem is in my above
post).

Applications I installed: Parcellite Clipboard Manager, GIMP, Pidgin,
Adobe Reader, Songbird, Docky, Ubuntu Tweak, and medibuntu, restricted
extras, codecs and those things. I also uninstalled some default
software like Rhythmbox and Empathy.

I am using elementary theme and nautilus-elementary breadcrumbs.

Ubuntu Tweak settings are as follows:
Compiz Settings: No boxes checked
Desktop Icon Settings: Shop desktop icons
GNOME Settings: Enable Panel Animations, Show icons in menus, Show icons on buttons
Window Manager Settings: Use Metacity window theme, Enable window transparency 
Session control: File Manger: nautilus / Panel: gnome-panel / Window Manger: gnome-wm
