I am using Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. I also could not open nautilus from docky with the command: "nautilus". I had to change the command to "nautilus /home/[user name]"
What worked for me was... 1. created a panel shortcut for my home folder 1.1 rt click on panel (brings up menu) and select "Add to Panel" 1.2 choose "Custom Application Launcher" 1.2.1 for field "Name": [type in any description you want] 1.2.2 for field "command": nautilus /home/[user name] 1.2.3 for field "comment": [type in anything you want] 1.3 Drag new shortcut icon to Docky Chad -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511511 Title: Nautilus not start -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
