Firstly, thank you for reporting this bug and make Ubuntu better. with "i lose everything on the desktop" do you mean, the icon disappear (but with a reboot they came back) or your file is deleted? next, do you use Ubuntu with the default desktop environment (Unity)? the 3d or 2d version?
i think this problem is related to the file manager, so can you run this command in order to collect information on your system and attach in this bug automatically? apport-collect -p nautilus 1036661 without those informations we can't go ahead, so the bug still incomplete. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036661 Title: doesn't recognise usb stick To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1036661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
