I created a new user account to see if the problem remains there, and after login I noticed that there are no issues at all - so I guess you're absolutely right. To evaluate, I did a gnome specific reset by opening the terminal and entering the following command:
rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity after this, gnome is forced start the session with the defaults (which in fact should work then). Surprisingly this didn't change anything at all. The problem is still the same. As a workaround, I now created a new user account and moved my data over. This solved the problem for me, but did not evaluate where the source of the issue itself lies. After deleting my old account, I thought that perhaps it's a Nautilus problem and a rm rf .nautilus would help, but I am not able to try out, since my old account is now history ;-) -- file:// not registered with nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272806 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
