I am a relative newbie currently running Hoary on a Dell4300, which was
upgraded from Warty to Hoary a month ago. Today, I had a
complete lockup with the screen going blank and when I rebooted
everything seems to be working except Nautilus. I can launch
applications from the gnome menus without any problems. However,
the directories on my desktop have disappeared, and I cannot launch the
Desktop or my Home directory from the Places menu. When I try, nothing
happens. When I type 'nautilus' at a terminal prompt, nothing
happens. I am tempted to reinstall nautilus using Synaptic but
before I do so was just looking for some advice as to whether that is
the right thing to do. Thanks for any help.<br>
